Close your eyes and imagine the most magical December holiday possible… Festooned cities and towns, thousands of tiny lights, the aroma of holiday fare, and of course snow. The childlike joy you feel when the first snowflakes start falling. A desire to relax, have fun, enjoy the outdoors... Open your eyes and create your own winter fairy tale on the snow and ice in Slovenia.
Slovenian ski resorts usually open their facilities in December, thereby providing the option to ski during the holidays. The common feature of ski resorts in Slovenia is that they are family-friendly and suitable for every skier, regardless of their skiing skills. They are located within short distances from each other and are connected by a single ski pass. In addition to skiing, they offer a number of other experiences on the snow, so you will definitely not be bored.
Would you prefer to trade the charm of the holiday lights for a glittering untouched blanket of snow? Then put on your snowshoes and head for snow country. Romantic souls will surely be happy to go on a winter torch-lit hike or a full moon hike. Learn some tips on where you can admire the beauty of the snowy landscape even on night hikes.
Combine the romance of festive lights and the beauty of nature with an evening stroll through the Volčji potok Arboretum.

Crystal tunnels, an illuminated sundial, a river of lights in the rosarium, a mighty waterfall over the Great Lake, Santa Claus with his reindeer, picturesque water reflections on the three lakes, the illuminated silhouette of a French garden, a magical forest and more. Come and experience the magic of the holidays at Volčje potok Arboretum!
