Mangart, Mountain peak in Julian Alps, Italy and Slovenia

Mangart is a summit of the Julian Alps on the Italy-Slovenia border, reaching 2,679 m and ranking fourth in Slovenia after Triglav, Škrlatica and Mali Triglav. Its northern face rises above two small lakes, and the Mangart Pass Lodge stands at its western foot. The first recorded ascent was made in 1794 by the naturalist Franz von Hohenwart.

Franz von Hohenwart made the first documented ascent in 1794. The north wall was first climbed in 1906 by Leuchs and Schulze. The Via Italiana via ferrata on the north face was created after 1945 because the new border left the wall on the Italian side.

The name derives from Old High German origins tied to early settlement in the region. Hikers from both nations use different routes to the summit, reflecting the mountain's role as a shared landmark.

The road to Mangart Saddle reaches 2,072 meters and is Slovenia's highest road, allowing vehicle access partway up. From this point, visitors can continue on foot to the summit or explore alternative routes by hiking.

Two distinct routes lead to the summit: a technical climbing path through Slovenia and a via ferrata trail that crosses into Italian terrain. This split reflects the mountain's position between two nations.
