By all means visit Bled, where the lake with its island and medieval castle make for a spectacular destination. But don’t knock beautiful Bohinj, which has more than enough claims to make it one of the nation’s finest destinations.

The area covers three spectacular valleys, where you’ll find the biggest lake and highest mountain in Slovenia. Two thirds of the Bohinj area belong to the Triglav National Park.

There’s also the matter of Vogel, the local ski resort above Lake Bohinj with a ski area ten times the size of Bled’s - 22km of pistes in glorious national parkland.

Skiing picked up in these parts between the World Wars – a place called Skalaški dom on the outskirts of Vogel was used as a bed base for skiers and mountaineers, before it was demolished in the war. Proper cable cars and guesthouses started appearing in the sixties, as the resort grew into one of Slovenia’s greatest places to ski.

The Bohinj area is made up of a number of small villages. Most hotels are based near the lake, and others can be found in the village of Bohinjska Bistrica with a ski bus to transport you to the ski lifts.

The town is small and quiet, we found that it basically closes down at night. There’s a big spa and swimming pool you can go visit. The ski area is good for beginners, my girlfriend learnt to ski here. I was happy too as an intermediate, but it’s not a very big place. + more
