Rogla, walking through clouds

A t an elevation of 1,517 metres above sea level, you will be surrounded by snow in a fantastic place for families. There are ski trails for novices, intermedi- ate trails and the toughest, while testifying to the quality of the skiing itself is the fact that it often hosts pres- tigious ski competitions. Rogla has 11 cable car ski lifts and several dozen kilometres of arranged trails, and skiers can en- joy the slopes from late autumn to spring, because if a real carpet of snow is somehow lacking, this ski resort has per- fect articial snow. For those who consider skiing too peaceful and have an excess of adrenaline, there is the Rogla Fun Park, representing an assault course for snowboarders and freestyle skiers. How- ever, if a board is too much for you and you love skis, there are perfect trails for cross-country skiing. Also testifying to the claim that you can expect the best is the fact that Rogla has also hosted the Cross-Country Skiing World Cup. On this mag- ical mountain you can also try your hand at a discipline that you’ve probably only seen in old lms – snowshoeing. That’s when you put something on your feet that is somehow remi- niscent of a tennis racquet and then enjoy walking over snow. This activity is the perfect exercise for the entire cardio- vascular system. Apart from exercising, you can enjoy the fairy- tale landscapes that extend all around you, clean air, and hike with experienced guides who are able to tell you all sorts of things about the mountain. And no, you don’t have to have your own snowshoes, because if you opt for this adventure you can easily acquire them at your hotel. All you need are good shoes and thick wool socks. Of course, what sort of ski holiday is it if you don’t dare to make a night-time descent at least once. This mountain has two night-time ski trails – Jasa and Košuta – both of which are excellently prepared, to en- sure there are no unpleasant surprises during the descent. You haven’t really been to Rogla if you haven’t tried the famous Pohorje hot pot speciality at least once. It represents true winter magic, as a vegetable stew with three dierent types of meat. And while we’re on the subject of healing prop- erties, there are several spa centres on the mountain itself, al- though the real thing is located 16 kilometres below, in the town of Zreče. Located there are thermal waters with a high percentage of calcium and magnesium, with a temperature at source of 34.5 degrees, as well as saunas, massages and healing mud, or Pohorje peat, which has an estimated age of 10,000 years. The best news is that you can catch a free shut- tle bus from Terme Zreče to the ski resort and back every day. When you take all of this into consideration, it’s clear that you’re awaited by a holiday worth remembering. If you are interested in what walking through clouds looks like, you should know that Slovenia boasts the snowy Rogla, which is a true paradise for lovers of winter sports.

ispričati svašta o planini. I ne, krplje ne morate da imate, jer ako se odlučite za ovu avanturu, lako ćete ih nabaviti u hotelu. Vama su potrebne samo do- bre cipele i vunene čarape. Naravno, kakvo je to skijanje ako se makar jed- nom ne usudite da se sjurite niz sta- zu noću. Na ovoj planini na raspola- ganju su vam dve noćne staze, Jasa i

Košuta, koje su odlično pripre- mljene, tako da nema neprijat- nih iznenađe- nja tokom spu- sta. Niste bili na Rogli ako makar jednom ne pro- bate čuveni po- horski lonac. To je prava zimska

magija, čorba od povrća i tri vrste mesa. Kada smo kod lekovitosti, na samoj pla- nini postoji nekoliko spa centara, ma- da se prava stvar nalazi 16 kilometara niže, u mestu Zreče. Tamo su termalna voda sa visokim procentom kalcijuma i magnezijuma čija je temperatura na izvoru 34,5 stepeni, saune, masaže i le- kovito blato, odnosno pohorski treset, čija se starost procenjuje na 10.000 go- dina. Najbolja vest je da se od Termi Zreče svakog dana možete besplatno prevesti autobusom do skijališta i na- zad. Kada se sve uzme u obzir, očeku- je vas odmor za pamćenje.

To je kada na noge sta- vite nešto što, recimo, u dalekoj asoci- jaciji, podseća na teniske rekete i on- da uživate u šetnji po snegu. Ova aktivnost je savršena vežba za čitav kardiovaskularni sistem.
