Hotel Zlatorog, Bohinj

Offered on a half board basis your holiday will include a buffet style breakfast including hot and cold options plus a freshly prepared evening meal serving delicious local and internationally inspired dishes.

If it’s your first ski trip, the Vogel Ski Resort in Bohinj is a great choice. Set high above Slovenia’s largest lake, it offers around 22km of gentle pistes, with wide-open runs and scenic wooded trails that are ideal for building confidence. And wherever you go, you’ll be surrounded by breathtaking views of Triglav National Park.

The resort is spread across several charming villages, nestled between pine-covered mountains and the shores of Lake Bohinj. Ribčev Laz is the closest to the cable car – just a quick 10-minute ride on the free ski bus. For a wider choice of hotels and restaurants, you might prefer Bohinjska Bistrica or Bohinj Jezero, both a little further along the valley.

Wherever you base yourself, evenings here are all about taking things easy. Round off your ski day with a drink at the Macesen Bar at the foot of the Vogel cable car, then head back to your hotel for a relaxing sauna or swim, followed by a laid-back evening of good food and wine.
