Wellness to round off an active day
Pohorje offers hiking, cycling and other activities during the warmer months, with skiing and winter activities in the colder season. Wellness can provide a calmer end to the day, but adjust the intensity and duration of sauna sessions or massages to how you feel.
After exercise, first rehydrate, change into dry clothes and take a short rest. If you have a medical condition or are unsure whether a particular service is suitable for you, consult an appropriate healthcare professional before your visit.
An idea for a rainy day or a break for two

For a break for two, explore couples massages, private spa experiences or overnight packages, if your chosen provider offers them.
