"SPRING HOLIDAYS"

For those of you out there who enjoy activity breaks and holidays, Slovenia is definitely not just a one- season destination. The winter sports are fantastic, but the mountains, rivers and lakes lend themselves to all year round sports and activities. We are happy to help you organise your activities when you are here, if for a one/two week stay or just a long weekend. Here is just a summary of some of the activities on offer…….

FOCUS On……….ACTIVITY BREAKS

As you can see from the Ninth posting, our area is great for cycling. In Kranjska Gora there is also a downhill mountain bike course for adrenalin junkies. With the bikes, you are transported up the mountain by the summer chair lift, and then the rest is down to you!! You can race the "summer toboggan" down, which if you aren't up for the cycling, is a great blast down the mountain!!
A chairlift at each of Bled and Vogel also run in the summer, so high -level walking routes are accessible.

For walkers, there really is something for everyone, from low level flower filled pastures, to easy and more demanding high mountain summits. The mountain huts (doms or kocas) are now open until Autumn. They provide a welcome stop, where you can eat, drink and soak in the atmosphere and admire the views.

There are endless horse riding trails through the meadows and in the local area, with schools at Bled and Bohinj.
For water lovers, there are many lakes for swimming and now the fishing season is open, the rivers offer themselves to fishermen. The rafting on the Rivers Soca and Sava is popular and the rivers provide a variety of courses/levels to suit everyone.
If the sky is the limit for you, then locally in near Bled are opportunities to Parascend and Glide, where you can calmly look down upon the activities and life below in the mountains, rivers and lakes.
