Looking for a peaceful, relaxing break somewhere a bit special? Nature-lovers, look no further. Ribno Alpine Resort is located at the edge of the spruce forest, on the outskirts of the quiet village of Ribno, about three kilometres from Bled. It's the perfect spot to connect with nature, get outdoors and discover Slovenia.

Luxury glamping near Lake Bled

There's lots to love about the Ribno, but we think our favourite bit has to be the luxury glamping pods. There are 17 individually designed pods, surrounding a natural swimming pool (accessible only by glamping pod guests) where you can enjoy a dip on warm days. The glamping pods offer a unique and special experience - each with its own private hot-tub on the terrace, an infrared sauna and ensuite.

In the main hotel building, the comfortable rooms are recently refurbished and furnished with lots of locally-sourced, natural wood - you'll notice lots of wood around the hotel, each piece is thoughtfully crafted and custom-made for its purpose. There's also a small wellness area (payable locally) with Finnish sauna, infrared room, whirlpool and relaxation area - massages are available to book locally.

Slovenia’s first zero-waste hotel

The Ribno pride themselves of their commitment to sustainable development, and obtained the Zero Waste Hotel certificate in 2018 - making them the first hotel and glamping in Slovenia to do so. Add to this the outstanding food, warm welcome and on-site bike rental to explore the area and you have a winning combination for your holiday.

Lake Bled is the crown jewel of Slovenia during the summer, an enchanting alpine lake with a church-capped island that graces countless guidebooks and social media feeds. While a day trip offers a glimpse of its beauty, summer holidays in Lake Bled allow you to truly soak up its charm. Stroll along the lakeside, explore forested trails, swim in refreshing lidos, and savour the famous Kremšnita cake at charming cafés. Climbing to Bled Castle offers breathtaking views, while quiet afternoons on a terrace let you watch traditional Pletna boats gliding across the water. Whether you’re looking for adventure or relaxation, Lake Bled’s stunning scenery and laid-back vibe make it the perfect summer escape.

Walking holidays in Lake Bled and the Julian Alps

Walking holidays in Lake Bled offer a chance to uncover the region’s natural beauty beyond its famous lakeside views. While many summer visitors come to relax, those exploring on foot will find plenty to discover. The eastern arm of the Julian Alps stretches towards the lake, creating an ideal backdrop for scenic hikes. A highlight is the Vintgar Gorge, where wooden walkways and bridges take you above the turquoise Radovna River in a dramatic canyon setting. Nearby, the Pokljuka Plateau on the edge of Triglav National Park invites you to wander through green mountain pastures dotted with traditional shepherd’s huts, offering a peaceful escape into Slovenia’s alpine charm.

Explore Lake Bled on a summer holiday

Walking a lap of Lake Bled is a must-do during your summer holiday; it’s one of Europe’s most scenic paths. The loop takes about 1.5 hours at a brisk pace—or less by bike—but stretching it out over half a day is well worth it, especially if you pack swimwear for the lake’s refreshing 25˚C waters. Starting in Bled town, you’ll pass a lido, water sports centre, and forested trails as you circle closer to the iconic island. On your return, the hilltop Medieval Bled Castle steals the scene, rewarding those who climb with stunning panoramas of the lake and surrounding mountains.

Summer activities in Lake Bled: visit Bled Island by pletna boat

Ferrymen in wooden “pletna” boats have been rowing pilgrims and summer holiday makers between shore and island since the 12^th century. Once on dry land, visitors can admire the towering Assumption of Mary Church, which stands on the foundations of an even older Slavic temple. If you get a chance, have a chat with the boat captain on the way back. The pletna are mostly steered by people whose families have rowed these waters for generations and they often have some great stories to share.

Family holidays to Lake Bled: toboggans, lake lidos and honey bees

Lake Bled offers a choice of family-friendly activities and walks and is perfect for a family summer holiday. Walk or take the lift up to Straža, where kids (and big kids) can rocket down the mountain on the summer toboggan. The lakeside pools and slides of the lido welcome families too. Paddleboards and rowing boats stock the water sports centre – an excellent chance to test your pletna paddling technique and up at Bled Castle there's hands-on activities for children in summer, including papermaking workshops and honey tastings at the resident beehives.
