Description

Vogel is a ski resort at the heart of the Julian Alps, lying inside Triglav National Park. It’s high above Lake Bohinj, the largest natural lake in Slovenia, offering some stunning views.

But Vogel is also famous for having the best snow conditions in the country. This is because the Julian Alps are the most easterly part of the Alps, just above the Adriatic Sea and therefore they are the first mountains in the range to receive great amounts of snow.

Actually, the normal ski season in Vogel goes from December until the end of April. An interesting fact? As it is inside a national park, artificial snow-making is not allowed, so all the snow you are going to see is real!

It’s worth pointing out, Vogel is one of the highest resorts in Slovenia, with slopes up to 1800 m.

I strongly recommend it for those who want to start practicing freeride skiing. It’s perfect for beginners, as it has many untracked terrain and great mountain lines to ski.

However, it also offers some interesting slopes for intermediate skiers looking for challenges.

If you want, I can include heliskiing and organize a private program for your group.

Please contact me if you are planning to go skiing in Vogel. I will help you make a program according to your wishes. I grew up in the Julian Alps, so I’ll be glad to show you the best spots in this place!

Mountain Guide

I grew up in Slovenia with Julian Alps as my backyard. Expeditions to Himalaya started when I was 17, started steep skiing at 15, climbing big walls at 13 and it was a natural progression to BASE jump and to become a mountain guide- a job that feeds my soul. I have been to several climbing expeditions to Peru, Kyrgyzstan, Tibet, Nepal and India.

I'm an IFMGA qualified mountain guide as well as an instructor for future guides, ski instructor, certified helicopter operator and a Heli Ski guide. Although my work took me all over the world my favorite place is still in the Julian Alps. Sharing the hidden places in my Home Mountains with my clients, guiding and teaching them to explore on their own is has been my biggest passion for the past few years.

Mountains are my passion. Winter or summer, climbing, flying through the air or skiing, it doesn't matter to me if I am guiding or having fun with friends. I simply get spaced out when I am in the mountains. Guiding for me is not a job - it is a state of mind and a lifestyle.

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
