Mariborsko Pohorje
A forested mountain reachable by cable car from the edge of the city. It is a ski resort in winter and, in summer, offers a mountain bike park and zip lines.
Pohorje lies on the southern outskirts of Maribor. From the city's southern edge, a cable car takes about 10 minutes to reach the mountain at about 1,050 m. In winter, Mariborsko Pohorje is one of Slovenia's largest ski resorts. It hosts the women's Alpine Ski World Cup “Golden Fox” race and offers night skiing. In summer it opens a mountain bike park, a summer alpine slide and zip lines, and you can hike to viewpoints such as Bolfenk. A return cable car ticket costs around 10 to 15 euros. From the lower station, bus line 6 takes you back into the city.
