Vogel lies within the Triglav National Park, at the head of the Bohinj valley. You can reach the lower Vogel cable car station on foot by following one of the maintained trails along the north or south shores of Lake Bohinj. You can also access it by means of public transport, the Bohinj tourist boat or by car, which can be parked in our free parking area. Vogel cable car then takes you to the upper cable car station. The upper Vogel cable car station, located at 1,535 metres, greets visitors with spectacular panoramic views of Komna, the Triglav mountains and all the way to the Kamnik and Savinja Alps. This is why Vogel is an excellent choice for anyone who wishes to admire the views of the Alps . Vogel is also an ideal starting point for those looking for ideas for shorter and longer hiking tours. he Julian Alps (in Slovenian Julijske Alpe ) are a mountain range of the Southern Limestone Alps that stretch from northeastern Italy to Slovenia, where they rise to 2,864 m at Mount Triglav, the highest peak in Slovenia. A large part of the Julian Alps is included in Triglav National Park. The second highest peak of the range, the 2,755 m high Jôf di Montasio, lies in Italy. The Julian Alps cover an estimated 4,400 km2 (of which 1,542 km2 lies in Italy). They are located between the Sava Valley and Canale Valley. They are divided into the Eastern and Western Julian Alps. The Julian Alps were known in antiquity as Alpe Iulia. The range was named after Julius Caesar of the Julian clan, perhaps due to a road built by Julius Caesar and completed by Augustus.

Slovenia is a very nice country. However, I would not recommend anybody to visit Vogel ski centre. First, it is comparatively pricey (in terms of both the price of the lifts and ski rental equipment). Secondly, the small gondolas that take you to the lifts (and back to the car park) depart every 30 minutes, which is rather frustrating, even for the locals, mainly because they don’t have a suitable waiting area. Thirdly, some of the tracks are remarkably boring. They’re not designed to ski, but to walk. Fourthly, the lift operators appear to be in their own world. They’re not paying attention to what’s going on, and some of them are nowhere to be seen, thereby compromising the safety of the little skiers. Fifthly, there’s little to do in the area and, therefore, if the weather changes, you’ll be literally stuck in the middle of nowhere. Just to be clear, Slovenia is a really beautiful country, but it is definitely not a good ski destination. You will no doubt be able to spend exactly the same amount of money (and even less) skiing somewhere else in Europe, where there are numerous ski destinations to choose from.

I actually really liked Vogel. I have been following the social media posts from the ski centre and the snow park for years. Finally, I had the chance to be there for 4 days in Jan '22. We had 4 bluebird days, or just global warming whatever you want to call it. But, the whole ski area gets at least a touch of sunlight. It was nice to feel warm each time we went up the lifts. Since it's a small resort, you get to ride them a lot. We also tried the slope that goes all the way down to the car park. I'm sorry yes, guilty as charged, it was closed on the day, but it wasn't going to snow, so we tried it just to try it once. It would be great to go back just to ride that again with snow rather than ice =D Most of the lifts are new, that is great. But the old ones are also pretty cool, especially the single chair one. Amazing views of the mountains from up there as well.

Great area, we went in summer and it was beautiful. The gondola ride up is 24 euro's but well worth it. Once you're at the top you can take another ski lift even higher (for free, or included in the first price as you like). Great views of the Bohin lake at the top. Also plenty of hiking opportunities. Takes about 45 minutes if you want to go all the way to the highest point which is about 1.800 meters. The hike is a bit challenging but definitely good fun. From the top you can even see the Adriatic sea. Parking is for free if you take the ride up. Gondola went roughly every half an hour when we were there. Can't judge about winter time but we will definitely visit again when we're in the area in the summer months!

Vogel Ski Center, located in the heart of the Triglav National Park in Slovenia, is a paradise for winter sports enthusiasts. The center offers a variety of ski slopes, catering to both beginners and experienced skiers. The breathtaking views of the Julian Alps and Lake Bohinj add to the overall experience, making it a must-visit destination for nature lovers. Vogel Ski Center is highly recommended for its well-maintained slopes, efficient lift system, and friendly staff. The on-site facilities, including restaurants and equipment rental services, are commendable. However, the center could improve its accessibility during peak winter months. Overall, it's a fantastic place to enjoy a winter holiday.

A superb ski centre with incredible views. The slopes here are well-maintained, and the variety of runs on offer are superb. We were able to easily use the gondola and ski lifts with no issues. The staff were all friendly and polite, and the facilities are kept in good order. As a beginner skier, I would highly recommend visiting Vogel. It doesn't have too many difficult slopes and the location is in close proximity to Bled and other nearby attractions. We hired our equipment here too, skis, boots, and poles. It was fairly priced and meant we could quickly get on the slopes with minimal hassle. Overall, it was an awesome day!
