Walk on the Velika Planina plateau

This short walk allows you to enjoy the Velika Planina plateau whilst staying away from the somewhat noisy chairlift route and passing through the mountain chalets. The paths are marked with Red Circles. The vast majority of the route is downhill along easy and very quiet paths.

The chalets are truly spectacular and photogenic, but you must pay close attention to the signs – often in Slovenian – which warn of private property boundaries.

Description of the walk

On arrival at the second section of the chairlift, take the track on the left below.

When you reach the small mountain bar, turn left towards the intermediate stop of the chairlift.

Before the museum, turn right towards the chalets.

In the middle of the chalets, take the path on the left that winds downhill between the last few chalets.

Cross the plain to the junction with the track coming from the right (the chalet on the hillock to the left is private property and not accessible)

Walk down along the track and take the small path leading down to the left (1)

After a short descent through the woodland, turn left (2) into the clearing before entering the woodland again.

Follow the track until you see the chairlift again, then take the track (3) that leads down to the cable car station.
