Mount Vogel: Our most recommended tours and activities

From Ljubljana: Lake Bled and Bohinj Trip

1. From Ljubljana: Lake Bled and Bohinj Trip

Enjoy Bled, or the “Image of Paradise,” which has been attracting visitors with its breathtaking beauty for centuries. The calm and inviting waters of its lake spurred the tradition of making the typical ‘pletna’ boats back in the 12th century.  Optionally you can board one of these wooden beauties to reach the island, with its romantic church and mysterious wishing bell. Sightseeing in Bled continues with a visit to the impressive castle, perched on a cliff high above the lake. Step back time in its museum and enjoy the unforgettable view of the surroundings. Surrounded by alluring summits, the Bohinj Valley charms visitors with its inspiring scenery, crystal lake waters, and the harmonious coexistence of man and nature. The picturesque lakeside boasts the frescoes of the Church of St. John the Baptist. You will have time to discover the legend of Zlatorog (Goldhorn), enjoy a stunning view over Mount Triglav, and try the hearty local cuisine.  Take your bathing suit with you in the summer and take a late dip in the lake.

2. Half-Day Snowboarding with Instructor in Vogel Ski Center

Snowboard lessons are a great way to spend your winter getaway in the crisp fresh mountain air. It is fun for all ages; your children can learn a new fun activity while you have some time for yourself or work on your riding.  Your half day snowboarding lessons will start with a scenic cable car ride above Lake Bohinj to the top station at Vogel. There you will be able to get the rental equipment if you do not have your own.  The tour caters to all levels of snowboard experience. If you are a beginner or you have never stood on a snowboard before, you will first get familiar with the equipment, and take your first steps in snowboard boots as well as get used to your position on a snowboard. The teaching technique perfected by the instructors will take you step by step to ensure you get the most out of every lesson. As you progress and your confidence grows you will also become familiar with all types of ski lifts (T-lift, chairlift) and learn how to use them safely.  Once you have mastered the basic turns, sliding and other techniques you will move on to perfecting them so you can really enjoy riding more. The intermediate level focuses on correcting common mistakes and overall improvement of your riding style as well as learning more and more new skills.  Even if you're already on the advanced level, a lesson or two can immensely improve your ride. If you're interested in learning some freestyle techniques, there are easy tips to get started in the snowpark or add some new impressive moves to your freestyle repertoire. If you're already an expert and you'd just like to work on riding on different, more demanding terrains, the instructors can show you easy ways around any obstacle so you can improve your free ride skills as well.  At the end of your lessons you can enjoy the rest of the day and practice your newly acquired skills or just relax on the mountain, take in the incredible views, and enjoy the local delicious food and drinks in one of the mountain huts on Vogel.

Ziga did an amazing job showing us around. He is very knowledgeable about the area and the culture. The tour was perfectly timed and choreographed. From vintgar gorge, to lake Bled to lake Bohinj and local food, pastry and schnapps. I had a wonderful time and so did the rest of the group. Hvala Lepa!!

Amazing. Do it. All three sites - The Vintgar gorge was beautiful, Lake Bohinj was great….both these were so good, that I was thinking that Lake Bled couldn’t live up to its reputation…but then it did. Fantastic. Make sure you take a boat out to the island…I hadn’t planned to, but so glad I did.

Our guide, Vasko, was very informative. He went out of his way to make our tour a great experience. We were picked up at our hotel, which was very convenient.

Amazing trip, would recommend this activity to everyone looking to explore Lake Bled and the surrounding area :)

Very good experience in winter, wonderful landscapes and discovery of local culture !
