WINTER ACTION
Winter is an exciting time here in
Slovenia. Winter conditions and snow offer a whole
range of opportunities to try new activities. Here’s what we can offer you:
SKIING
Slovenia
has many ski
resorts offering slopes and activities suitable for all levels.
Downhill Alpine Skiing - Working together with Alpe,
based at the Kobla ski centre in Bohinska Bistrica, we offer a range of skiing
options for novices or the more experienced skiers. Arrangements can be made for individual or
group tuition, rental of clothing and equipment.
Tour Alpine Skiing – For accomplished skiers with your own
equipment, why not try the unique experience of Tour Alpine Skiing. Avoid any queuing on the ski slopes and join us on the
exploration of The Julian Alps, skiing in places with miles of virgin snow and views
as far as the eye can see.
Freeride – Freeride skiing allows you to go on and
off-piste and experience areas and manouvres that are usually inaccessible and
unrecognizable to downhill skiing. Freeride skiing is suitable only for experienced skiers and whilst it is
possible to rent equipment, it is preferable if you have your own equipment. For more details on Freeride skiing in
Slovenia

contact us.
SNOWSHOEING - Snowshoeing offers an opportunity to explore the mountains and trails
even whilst they are covered in snow. Using snowshoes enables you to walk in the mountains through thick snow
and access terrain that would usually be inaccessible in winter conditions.
SLEDGING – Our sledging experience starts from
Lake
Bohinj
and is followed by a short drive to Vogar (1200m). From here you can descend the longest
toboggan run in
Slovenia
(10-12km). For a different experience,
night sledging is also available.
RIDING - The Mrcina Ranch at Studor near Bohinj offers horseback riding on Icelandic
ponies and Lipica horses for adults and children. Children can take a safe and
guided horseback ride round the pen or make a trip to nature. Interesting excursions to the unspoiled
nature of the
Triglav
National Park
and other
individual programmes are arranged according to your wishes. Trips range from 1
hour to full day 8 hour day trips. The Mrcina Ranch operates during the summer
and winter seasons.
CROSS COUNTRY SKIING – The Pokljuka plateau, high above Bled, makes an ideal destination for
Cross Country Skiing. Every year the
World Biathlon Championships are held here so you can come and follow in their
footsteps and try ski running for yourself. Cross Country skiing is fun, easy to learn, healthy and is suitable for
all ages and fitness levels.
HIKING – The Julian and The Karavanke
Alps offer a wealth of hiking opportunities. From a few hours to full days or multi-day trips sleeping in traditional
mountain huts en-route. We choose trails
that are unique enabling you to enjoy the peace, tranquillity and nature. Our hikes are tailored for different levels
of walking ability but all offer great views.
There are ample
opportunities for hiking throughout the year whether in the sun or the
snow. Hiking is no doubt one of the best
ways to really experience the surroundings of the
Triglav
National Park
and the mountains of The Karavanke and The Julian Alps.
Whether you want a multi-day trip to the top of our
highest mountain,
Mount
Triglav
(2864m), staying
overnight in a mountain hut and visiting en-route The Seven Lakes Valley, a
full day hike or just a few hours, we’ve got a walk for you. No matter where you walk, you will be
surrounded by unspoilt nature, flora and fauna.
