The Vogel Ski Centre is worth visiting also in summer. Need good weather of course. After a very steep ascent up to 1534 meters above sea level on the cable car you are met with stunning views of Lake Bohinj and the surrounding mountains of the Slovenian Alps, including Mt. Triglav. It’s disabled & pushchair friendly. There’s a nice cafe restaurant on top, or you can bring some food and enjoy a fantastic picnic on the mountain. A zip wire for adults and children and a few hikes are available too! You can also take the Orlove Glave chair lift and go even higher up.

The cable car operates operates every day from 8.00 till 18.00, every half an hour. It operates until November 1st. Return tickets in the summer season €13.50 adults, €9 children (family discounts available). The Orlove Glave chair lift operates between 15 May and November 1st for weekend time, at Saturdays and Sundays from 9.00 till 15.00. It is not driving in bad weather.

It’s much cooler up on Vogel than it’s on the shore of Lake Bohinj. Even during the summer months (June, July, August), it’s a good idea to bring a jacket. (photo: Nea Culpa d.o.o. / slovenia.info)

A visit to Vogel can be quick, spending just a little time near the upper station to enjoy marvelous views, or you can spend the whole day here, hiking along the mountain peaks. (photo: Marco Coppo / slovenia.info)
