Would you like to test yourself in winter training ahead of KOF 2026? Do you want to build strength, focus and endurance in an environment where conditions leave no room for shortcuts? Join us at the first Ski Touring Festival in Bohinj, set in a winter idyll in the heart of the Julian Alps.
From 5–8 March 2026, we are co-organising an event that clearly reflects our outdoor philosophy: respect for nature, the strength of community and a high-quality, authentic experience in the mountains.
In addition to the competitive program, the festival will place strong emphasis on various workshops, and guided tours will also be available.
What awaits you in the TSF 2026 program?
- Winter Trail Run & Sporting Challenges: For those missing the competitive adrenaline, there are winter trail runs, ski touring races, a vertical challenge and even a winter duathlon.
- Guided Ski Touring: From beginner turns to the legendary 4-day Triglav Ski Touring Traverse.
- Safety Workshops: Avalanche safety workshops and winter mountaineering courses – because while the mountains in winter are beautiful, they demand respect.
- Community: Evening gatherings where we’ll share stories from the field over warm tea and plan for the upcoming season.
Why join us in Bohinj?
The Bohinj Ski Touring Festival is a boutique winter event co-created by the same team behind the Julian Alps Trail Run, Ultra Trail Vipava Valley, Soča Outdoor Festival, Archipelago Trail Run and, of course, our own Kočevsko Outdoor Festival.
