Vogel, Mountain peak in Julian Alps, Slovenia

Vogel is a 1922-meter mountain in the Julian Alps, about 25 km west-southwest of Bled. It is forested up to roughly 1300 meters, with dwarf pines and rocky alpine meadows above. A cable car from Ukanc on Lake Bohinj reaches the Rjava skala plateau at 1537 meters, and a ridge runs east to the 1880-meter fore-summit Šija.

Ski development on Vogel's northern slopes above Ukanc began in 1964, when the mountain's slopes were opened for skiing. The cable car to the Rjava skala plateau at 1537 m was renovated in 2001 and, unlike the other lifts, runs in summer as well. The highest lift-served point is the Šija station at 1790 m.

The name Vogel is pronounced "Wogel" and is the Slovenian word for "corner", referring to the mountain's position on the ridge. The cable car, renovated in 2001, runs in summer as well as winter, unlike the five chairlifts above it. Two mountain huts serve walkers: Koča Merjasec na Voglu at the top station (1535 m) and Koča na planini Razor (1315 m) on the route from Tolminske Ravne.

The cable car from Ukanc, on the west shore of Lake Bohinj, runs up to the Rjava skala plateau at 1537 m and, unlike the other lifts, also operates in summer. From its top station a short marked path leads to the 1922 m summit. Five chairlifts and a snowboard park serve the slopes, whose highest lift station, postaja Šija, stands at 1790 m. Mountain huts on the routes include Koča Merjasec na Voglu at 1535 m and Koča na planini Razor at 1315 m.

The name Vogel is pronounced "Wogel" and is the Slovenian word for "corner", referring to the mountain's position on the ridge. The cable car from Ukanc, renovated in 2001, runs year-round, unlike the ski lifts, and reaches the Rjava skala plateau at 1537 m.
