About Vogel cable car
Named after a 1,923-metre peak in the south-eastern Julian Alps, Vogel is reached by a cable car that rises to Brown Rock at 1,535 metres, a thousand metres above Lake Bohinj. The view takes in the whole Bohinj basin and lake, with the Julian Alps and Triglav beyond. In winter it is one of Slovenia’s largest ski areas, with up to 22 km of slopes on natural snow and a snow park; in summer it is the start of hikes, with Restaurant Viharnik for lunch on the terrace. The cable car is closed for maintenance until about 1 December 2026.
