Rogla is the jewel of the Slovenian mountain, Pohorje. It is also one of the most popular ski resorts in Slovenia - as it's a 90-minute drive from Ljubljana. While the skiers flood the mountain in winter, from spring to autumn, they are dominated by hikers and bikers.
Pohorje is not a high mountain. Its popularity comes from the fact that it has a rich pine forest. There is a bike park in the summer, and you can also try a bobsleigh park open all year round. Also, Slovenia's highest canopy promenade is located here.
