Why are we the best choice?
Pohorje is by far the greatest sports recreation centre in Slovenia.
Until now it has been considered the greatest only during winter, but nowadays activities for tourists are being offered throughout the whole year.
When we talk about the offer of Pohorje, we should not consider only one individual destination such as Mariborsko Pohorje, Ruško, Zreško. We must consider the complete offer of the 60 km long Pohorje mountain range from Kope in Slovenj Gradec, over Ribnica, to Trije Kralji over Slovenska Bistrica, at altitudes from 200 m by the Drava river up to 1543 m.
Pohorje has it all: the alpine scenery, forests, vast clearings and pastures, unspoiled water and waterfalls, marshes and lakes, the unique rocky mountains. Pohorje is reachable to skiers and hikers by skis, biycicles, yokes… Pohorje is a true oasis of peace and natural attractions.
