Glaciokarst landscapes pose distinctive challenges for cosmogenic dating because meltwater and runoff can be rapidly rerouted into ponors and conduit networks, weakening glacier–river coupling and promoting local sediment storage. We reconstruct glacier retreat and postglacial stabilization on the Snežnik Plateau (SW Slovenia) using in situ cosmogenic ³⁶ Cl exposure ages from moraine boulders and ³⁶ Cl depth‐profile ages from moraine matrix and glaciofluvial outwash. At Sviščaki (NW sector), boulder ages span 13.0 ± 1.7 to 8.0 ± 1.0 ka and, together with a moraine‐matrix depth‐profile age of 11.4 ± 0.7 ka, indicate deglaciation by the Late Glacial and surface stabilization by ~11 ka. At Praprotna Draga (NE sector), the oldest boulder ages are ~15 ka, while an adjacent outwash/alluvial‐fan depth profile (~12 ka) suggests that proglacial reworking waned near the Late Glacial–Early Holocene transition. In contrast, the Gomance piedmont polje yields an outwash depth‐profile age of 8.4 ± 0.2 ka, consistent with prolonged storage and repeated burial–exposure dynamics in a karst sediment sink. Overall, the Snežnik chronology shows that cosmogenic ages in glaciokarst commonly track stabilization and process filtering rather than uniquely dating maximum ice extent.

Piedmont glaciers (lobes), typically found in high latitudes and large mountainous regions, extend from ice sheets and ice caps to lower altitudes. However, they can also occur, although less commonly, on mid‐latitude mountains. When these fan‐like glaciers retreat, they leave behind hummocky moraines scattered in a chaotic pattern. In this study, we have mapped one of these mid‐latitude sites and established a Terrestrial cosmogenic nuclide (TCN) glacial chronology on Mount Davraz, namely Davraz hummocky moraine field (37°46′00″N, 30°43′15″E). Our findings indicate that the glaciers in this area started receding from the early local Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) period (21.8 ± 2.4 ka) to the early Late‐glacial period (17.7 ± 2.2 ka), and eventually disappearing. The deglaciation of the Mt. Davraz palaeoglacier matches nearby mountains, supported by southerly winds as significant for regional glaciation. Our discoveries reveal a robust connection between southerly winds and nearby glaciation, contributing to our understanding of how climate influences glaciers. Likewise, the glacial timelines of the neighbouring mountains align with the glacial history of Mt. Davraz.
