Bled Snow Conditions

Bled Snow Conditions - Beautiful scenic ski resort, year-round attraction 

Bled is one of the major tourist spots in Slovenia, attracting visitors to the shores of its beautiful lake all-year round. Situated at the foot of the Julian Alps in the northwest of the country, this glacial region is known for its thermal spas and mild sub-Alpine climate, and offers a ski season which runs from December to March.

 

Snow Conditions In Bled - Small compact ski area, top elevation 634m 

The town lies at an altitude of 500m with a top elevation of just 634m, and the resorts' compact ski area is made up of 3 slopes. Skiing takes place on Straza, with just a couple of slopes which are easily accessible from town and best suited to beginners and intermediates. Anyone seeking challenging terrain and more than one days' skiing would be better advised to take the free bus to the other ski areas in Bohinj - Kobla and Vogel. These offer higher-altitude skiing and a better choice of pistes covering 35km. Conditions are ideal for cross-country skiing in Bled, with extensive trails through the picturesque forested landscape.

 

Upper slope averages in the resort have been mixed in recent years, ranging from just a few centimeters up to 275cm during the peak season. As the natural snow can be variable due to the low altitude, the resort has installed extensive snowmaking so the slopes are always open. All 3 of the slopes in Bled are covered by 17 snow cannons, which augment the natural snow and enable skiing all season long. Temperatures are not too cold in Bled, with the Julian Alps serving to protect the region from cold northerly winds coming off the Adriatic Sea, and the resort sees an average winter temperature of -2C.
