On the slopes

Catering to expert skiers, the Kobla ski resort has 23km of pistes of which 50% of the slopes are designed for those with intermediate skiing skill and 10% for experts. Although there are only 40% of slopes for beginners Kobla is closely linked to the nearby Vogel ski slopes where there are many more beginner slopes so if you need smaller slopes for children or friends in your holiday group this should not present a problem.

There's six lifts to make transportation between the slopes easy, and nine more at Vogel if you plan on heading over there to try out more slopes. The ski season when you ski Kobla runs from December thru March with plenty of snow cannons to help supplement the natural slow making it a wonderful place for skiing in the summer so that you can see the majestic scenic waterfalls operating at their full capacity.

WE LIKE

East to access resort by rail or car and good hospitality in a small modern resort
The runs are all well maintained and with tree-lined slopes
Excellent ski scholl for children and beginners and some good slopes to learn on

WE DON'T LIKE

Limited number of runs close to the resort, but you have access to Bohinj ski area
Weather can be a real factor leading to lack of snow - but plenty of cannons now
May not suit those who like to be on the slopes all day long - simply because there's not enough piste!
