Great ski lessons for our family. Friendly and experienced instructors who spoke good English and catered to our mixed ability group well. We were able to hire equipment as part of the lesson package including helmets for adults. Clear pricing, no hidden extras. Great experience thank you!

I have snowboarded all round the world for over 35 years and I can tell you these guys are the absolute best. Lucija is an absolute superstar and one of the nicest people you could wish to meet - from her communication by email to her friendly service in person she is one hell of an asset to this the operation. Then you have Blaž who looked after us during our holiday with everything we could possibly need and Jana the most wonderful instructor my children could have ever wished for. We were stuck up the mountain in our accommodation for a week due to the gondola not operating and the help we received was above and beyond.........just truly genuine people that are so wonderfully kind you feel better about the world having spent even just a short time in their company. Thanks to all of you!

For the whole family, it was a unique experience in a breathtaking Alpine environment. Very kind and professional approach, which makes you feel safe. The attraction is exciting and unusual but not at all risky. Our only regrets are that we did not book at least two rides per person so that we could enjoy it better and that we did not plan to stay a couple of hours more to explore the surroundings. The impressive ski-jump complex (there are 8 ski jumps) is worth a visit even without any other activity. There are enough parking places, where you can park for the whole day for € 2.5.

A trip to the top of the cable car was worth it for the magnificent views. It was off season so nothing at the top was open, but a short walk off the beaten track brought the delight of following the Goblins trail with the local bell adorned cattle.
5. Vogel Ski Center
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 662 reviews
Vogel is one of the most beautiful and popular ski resorts in the winter, and the most popular high mountain centre in other seasons. Our slogan “Vogel. Like a Fairy Tale.” is the perfect description of our resort in every season of the year, and we plan to increase our profile with it and give our visitors this fairy-tale feeling. We are determined to seize the opportunities offered by our location in the heart of the Triglav National Park (TNP). Vogel cable car takes you to 1535 metres above sea level throughout the year (except during the maintenance periods). In this way viewpoints high in the mountains are easily accessible and also make an excellent starting point for hikers. You can choose from single or return cable car tickets. The cable car can transfer up to 950 people per hour. The Orlove glave quad chairlift also operates during the summer season (mid-June to end of September) and provides a single or a return ride in the pleasantly refreshing summer climate. It stops at the top of Orlove glave with a paragliding take-off point close by.

Arrived with a tour group so parking was not a problem, however, even in October, the car park was over full. There is a nice souvenir shop, with clean toilets at the base of the cable car. The journey to the ski centre provides stunning views of the lake, valley, and majestic mountains. At the top you will find restaurants as well as the hotel. We did not use the hotel so cannot comment however the upstairs dining area was available for us and service and food were very good.

Ski lessons We could not be happier with their service. We booked several individual ski lessons in January (for two adults and one child, either beginners or returning to the slopes after a few years) and got to ski with six different instructors. Each and every one of them was extremely kind, friendly, and patient. Parents should not worry as they surely know how to work with children. Our six-year-old is always very reserved when it comes to meeting new people but both instructors were able to get him relaxed and eating out of their hand within ten seconds. Equipment hire Even though it can get quite hectic in the morning, all of the employees keep calm and make the effort to give each person their undivided attention - with a smile! Despite the huge number of customers that come through their shop every day, they remembered me when I came back after a week. I guess that says something about how personal their approach is. All in all - we had a lovely experience and will definitely be back next year!
7. Straza Bled
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 565 reviews
Straza is a smaller hill most suitable for a relaxing walk and summer or winter sport activities. It is considered to be the most beautiful viewpoint in the area that offers incredible view of the city of Bled, lake Bled, castle and surrounding mountains. In summer you can enjoy in adrenaline-drenched sledding (summer tobogganing), visiting Adventure Park or taking a ride with the tube, tuba jump or free fall simulator. You can take a relaxing walk through meadows and woods on the Rikli Fitness Trail. In winter you can ski on a small, but settled ski slope that is lit for night skiing and offers organized ski school, equipment rental and Sporty's Children Snow Park. Straza ski slope is accessible by car or by foot as it is only a few minutes' walk from the center of Bled. The resort is closed in a heavy rain.

Having traveled Europe for four months, and riding many toboggans, this was our favorite. Firstly, the views are so beautiful, being able to see the castle, the church, and the lake all at once is an incredible sight from the elevation. The attraction is easily accessible on foot (if you want some exercise), or by ski lift and any local can point you in the right direction. The employees were very kind. Best of all was the beautiful and fun ride down the mountain! You can control how fast or slow you go, so dont worry about it being too scary if you dont like fast rides! All in all, a cheap, fun attraction, and a must in Lake Bled!

It is my first time in slovenia kranjska gora and I was a bit nervous for the ski school for my 3 children but I am so happy to see that ASK was the right choice. We had the great luck to have Lucas for half a day with us and ı can say that he is probably one of the best ski instructors I have met so far particularly for children. We also had Aliaj and Tiasha for 3 days and with 2 more days to go. I can not describe the fun my children had nor the improvement in their skiing. They are extremely careful, very patient and good with the children and very fun to ski with. All in all, I would 100% recommend these instructors ( hope I wrote their name correctly) as satisfaction is almost guaranteed. Thanks you Smučarska šola ASK Kranjska Gora for a very friendly service which made a big difference. If you are a family with children go here. Tümkan

Ski centre Cerkno is considered to be the most modern, safest ski resort with the fastest ski lifts in Slovenia. The ski slopes are suitable for skiers of all categories and difficulty levels. It covers 70 hectares of organized ski areas or 18 km of organized ski trails and 5 km of cross-country tracks. For kids, in the immediate vicinity of the top of the skiing area, there is a polygon with a moving tape and carousel. The youngest can enjoy themselves with their parents in the kids corner in Aplska perla. A step away, there is a modern ski equipment rental. With its ski school, it is synonymous with learning about skiing and snowboarding, not only at the local level, but also wider. In 2018, for the fifth consecutive year, SC Cerkno received the flattering recognition as the best Slovenian ski resort, which was voted for by visitors and listeners from all over Slovenia in the all-Slovenian radio action, and on several occasions, we also received the Family Friendly Ski Resort award.
