Tucked away in a pine forest on the outskirts of Bled, you’ll find the family-run Ribno Alpine Resort. As Slovenia’s first zero waste hotel, its dedication to environmental care is second to none. Your wellbeing's a top priority here too – use the hot tub or treat yourself to a post-ski session in the sauna to soothe those sore muscles. Plus, the ski shuttle stops right outside the hotel early in the morning and takes you straight to the slopes.

This place is a natural wonder, both inside and out, with a cosy cabin-in-the-forest feel. The rooms have loads of character, featuring lovingly crafted custom wood furnishings, from the bed frames to the picture frames.

You’ll get a hot and cold buffet breakfast here, so you can fill up on whatever you fancy, including fresh omelettes made just for you. Bump up your board basis to half board to get a beautifully presented buffet for your evening meal too, with a choice of local and international dishes complemented by the hotel’s selection of fine Slovenian wines.
