Unforgettable experience

Experience socialism, mining, and tanning using the original Šalek method. Your memories will be at least 160 metres deeper, your experiences of lakes different from what you’d been used to. Children won’t forget Pika, whom they will meet in hundreds of images. You will thank yourself for enjoying thermal relaxation!

The magic of countryside

Visiting the homesteads that have preserved traditional character over the centuries are one side of rural Šaleška Valley, the other being genuine experiencing of your wishes! Encounter the old skills, bees, flavours, and people. Live the way you want.

Underground adventure in the Coal Mining Museum of Slovenia

Take the miners’ lift to descend deep into the underground. In a dining hall situated 160 metres below the earth’s surface, try a miners’ lunch or a unique culinary event; whilst doing so, experience the special features of Velenje coal mining.

VISTA – Park with the view

Climb to an attractive viewing platform for panoramic views of Lake Velenje or attend one of the many events held at the lake’s mouth. All of this and more can be found in a park overlooking Vista.

Jump into Lake Velenje
