Where to go sledging in Slovenia?

Fun on a sledge

There are many ways to spend a wonderful winter day outdoors in Slovenia. In addition to enjoying skiing at Slovenian ski resorts, cross-country skiing on well-maintained trails, or going on winter hikes through a snow-covered landscape, you can also find the child within and even slide down a hill on a sledge. No prior knowledge is needed to go sledging. Hire a sledge at facilities for hiring skiing and other equipment, which are usually found right next to ski slopes. Just about anyone can have fun sledging – from youngsters to senior citizens. Although you only need some snow and a hill to go sledging, make sure to look at our selection of locations where sledging could be particularly fun.

Winter experiences on Rogla

Rogla is a popular family ski centre, where there is something for everyone. To top off skiing on well-maintained runs, adrenaline-filled adventures in a snow park, fun for kids in the Devil’s Land and Pohorje Village, a hike through the surrounding area on snow shoes, and a ride in a horse-drawn carriage, you can also go night sledging. Finding a suitable hill for sledging will prove to be no problem during the day too. Alternatively, you can also go on a ride in a motor sledge (snowmobile).

One of the most popular sledging locations is the Pokljuka Plateau, which, due to easy access by car and the right altitude, is an ideal choice for sledging even when there is no snow in the valley. On Vogel, there is a sledging slope at the kids’ park, and you can hire a sledge at the gondola stations. You can find well-maintained sledging slopes in the valley, too.
