Before you go ...
Keep yourself and the people around you safe. Check out snow and weather conditions, and do not forget suitable winter equipment for mountain hikes – good winter mountaineering boots, suitable winter clothing, warm liquid and food, as well as an ice axe, crampons and an avalanche safety kit for more demanding hikes.
Find peace and quiet far away from the commotion of the maintained ski runs. Though the ascent is enjoyable, nothing beats the experience of descending on intact white slopes – this is paradise for ski tourers. But be careful – to enjoy in the snow safely and comfortably, first check the snow and weather conditions and make sure you have adequate ski touring equipment.
The Julian Alps are beautiful in all seasons of the year. In winter, when peaks are covered in snow, they are a true magnet for those pursuing ski touring joys.

Do you crave winter adventures which will get your adrenaline pumping? You can choose between fun adventures in ski resorts that are also appropriate for families and daring challenges for which you need to consider the snow and weather conditions and take care of your own safety.
Sledding is one of the most popular activities on snow for all generations. You'll find you can hurtle down a hill on a sleigh in almost every part of Slovenia. Some natural sledding slopes are particularly popular.
When temperatures drop below freezing for several consecutive days, ice is formed on lakes, and when the layer of ice is thick enough, it becomes an excellent ice skating surface where we can enjoy the natural surroundings and engage in a sport that's great for our health.
To counter the unpredictable winter weather and provide the opportunity to have fun on ice for as many residents and visitors as possible, ice skating rinks are being set up in many tourist towns and cities. There, you can skate to the sound of music and warm up afterwards with a hot drink.
Ice climbing has been gaining in popularity lately. The beauty of waterfalls that freeze when the winter temperatures fall attracts ice climbers looking for new challenges. There is even an ice climbing centre in Slovenia which will open up to you the magical world of vertical experiences on ice. It is recommended that you take up ice climbing with the help of an experienced guide.
