Kobla's skiing extends above Bohinjska Bistrica by means of three successive double chair lifts which take skiers up from 552 to 1480m. Although these altitude levels may seem low for this latitude, a good natural snowfall has been backed up by snowmaking since 1993. Terrain is best suited to beginners and intermediates, the latter able to enjoy runs of up to six kilometres (four miles) back down on wide runs cut through the pine forests from the top of the highest Kobla III chairlift. There's also an FIS approved fast course. The ski school has a good reputation and there are three T Bar drag lifts, two of them serving separate nursery slopes at village level, on which to master technique. The Kozji Hrbet slope is lighted and offers night skiing The larger ski area at Mount Vogel is accessed by a spectacular cable car ride which arrives at a plateau with nursery area for beginners to practice their first turns on and trails radiating out for more advanced skiers. The view from here encompasses the Bohinj Valley, the surrounding Julian Alps, Triglav and the southern Bohinj mountains, the Karavanke mountain range and the Kamnik Alps. There are not many black runs for advanced skiers but there is one gem at Vogel when conditions are right. The ?agarjev Graben run goes over the back of the mountain from the top of the lifts and descends 8.5km (over five miles) for 1230 vertical metres down to Lakeside. It's also possible to sign up for exciting guided ski tours through the Julian Alps. The longest off piste route in the Julian Alps is not far away either. This 15 km tour starts on Kanjavec and ends in Stara Fu?ina, a total altitude difference of 2000m. If you fancy a change of scenery the small ski area at Stra?a above Bled is included on the high value lift ticket, along with the 45 minute ski bus ride to it. The Ski Pass Julian Alps also covers slightly more distant ski areas at Krvavec, Kranjska Gora, Stari vrh and Sori?ka planina. There are some excellent cross country tracks through the Pokljuka Plateau, as well as an FIS course from Bohinjska Bistrica up to village Polje. There are also prepared cross-country courses at Ribcev Laz and Stara Fuzina and at all the ski centres.
