Hotel Julian Alps is at Zgornje Gorje 41, 4247 Zgornje Gorje, Slovenia, a quiet village on the border of Triglav National Park. Lake Bled is about 4 km away (around 10 minutes by car) and Vintgar Gorge about 5 minutes.

It suits travellers who want a quiet, design-led base close to Bled rather than a large hotel in the busy town centre. It has 15 rooms with four-star standard services, its own Restaurant Julija, a private sauna, e-bike and Vespa rental, EV charging, and pets are welcome.

Seven room types: Standard Double, Superior Double, Deluxe Double, Premium Double, Heritage Room, Heritage Suite and a Family Room with a separate kids' room. All rooms have a 36 cm cloud mattress and free Wi-Fi.

Indicative prices for two guests with breakfast, per room per night: from €82 from November to March (except holidays), from €129 in April, May and October, from €169 in June and September, and from €207 in July and August. Weekends and holidays cost more. Room types start from €82 (Standard Double) up to €275 (Heritage Suite). Exact prices for your dates are in the booking system on hoteljulianalps.com.

By car it is about 40 km (35 minutes) from Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport and about 55 km (45–50 minutes) from Ljubljana via the A2 motorway towards Jesenice, exit Lesce, then through Bled to Zgornje Gorje. By train, travel to Lesce-Bled station and take a taxi for the last 10 km.

Within minutes: Vintgar Gorge, the easy Pokljuka Gorge loop from Krnica, Lake Bled and Bled Castle, and the Radovna valley in Triglav National Park. Further out: the Pokljuka plateau and Lake Bohinj. At the hotel you can rent e-bikes (from €20/hour) and Vespas (from €30/hour), book the private sauna (from €45) or family activities (from €45).

Late spring and early autumn are ideal: mild weather, fewer crowds and Vintgar Gorge open (its season starts in April). Summer is best for swimming and SUP on Lake Bled. Autumn brings golden larches and our Autumn Colours offer. In winter, Pokljuka is known for cross-country skiing, and we host a New Year's Eve dinner.
