This is a great way to have fun and to get a good view of the lake. The Straza chairlift can be found near the town centre on the south shore of the lake. The chairlift runs up the Straza hill where you can see great views of the lake and then take the toboggan back down to the entrance. The toboggan criss-crosses back down the hill for a length of 520m on a metal track that is a couple of feet off the ground. The actual toboggan is controlled by a lever which you operate to slow down or go faster. It's possible to reach speeds of 40km/h and is great fun beleive me!

Open: 9am-12pm & 4pm-8pm daily from 17th June-17th Sept. 10am-6pm weekends only from 18th Sept-27th Oct. 10am-5pm daily 28th Oct-5th Nov. 1 ride on the chairlift and toboggan costs 1,000SIT. Chairlift without toboggan costs 500SIT.

With this temperatures we're having now here, lake started freezing. In the last years this happened rarely. But when I was a kid, I remember it was often frozen. Many times did me & my family go to Bled. While my parents were walking, me and my sister skated to the island. There we had a cup of tea and then headed back to the mainland. So did many others. Lake and the island was full of people, sometimes it was even overcrowded. But the winters got warmer and the lake only occasionly froze to that point, to be safe to walk on.

Currently the lake is only partly frozen, but the locals now where it's safe to skate. I'd suggest, whenever you want to go ice-skating, let somebody else try first.

Equipment: Skates and some warm clothes.
