A brief glimpse at SLOVENIA!

With the run up to Christmas we got the opportunity to take a road trip with Matt at Julian Alps Chalets down to one if his Chalets and check out Slovenia, and more specifically Bovec (pronounced Bovets). The Journey was a long one with the Drive beginning for Matt in the Lake District and picking the trunk boys up along the way (Thanks Matt!) Close to 24 hours of winter driving later we arrived. In the photo below you can see the view to greet us as we crossed over a snowy pass from Italy into Slovenia at around 9pm.

The impressive mountain face in frame is known as the ‘Wall of Log’, it’s huge and not in anyway what we had expected. Slovenia definitely has mountains, really good ones. The ski resort that rest above the town of Bovets isn’t the biggest but it’s linked with a resort on the Italian side and the off-piste ski options are simply jaw dropping.

Oh and don’t forget the winter tyres, you’ll need them on the Italian side of the pass ;)

Looking forward to a summer climbing filled trip to Slovenia!
