Where to Stay

Where to stay in Logar Valley

Logarska Dolina isn't a town, it's a pristine glacial valley in the Kamnik–Savinja Alps, a quiet U-shaped cradle of meadows, farms, and waterfalls (the Rinka falls anchor its head). You either sleep inside the valley on a farmstead for that wake-up-in-paradise feeling, or in nearby Solčava at the valley mouth, which is cheaper and closer to a shop. Both are tiny; expect farm hosts, not resorts.

Working farmsteads and a couple of small hotels scattered across the valley floor, surrounded by peaks and silence.

Best for: Those who want to step out the door onto trails and meadows, and don't need shops or nightlife.

Solčava and the valley mouth

The small village just outside, with a shop, tourist info, and the start of the scenic Solčavsko panoramic road.

Best for: Travelers who want a slightly cheaper base with basic services, and don't mind driving in to hike.

High on the Solčava panoramic road

Hillside farm-stays perched on the panoramic road above the valley, with sweeping views over the Kamnik-Savinja Alps and total quiet, reached by a short drive up from the valley floor.

Best for: Drivers who want the panoramic-road farms and the widest views.

By budget

What each price tier buys you

A quick sense of what to expect, and what to spend, across the range in Logar Valley.

Budget

Rooms on the farms and campsites are the value play, simple, warm, and often with home-cooked breakfast included.

Our picks

Kmetija Matk An organic sheep farm at 1,165 meters above Matkov kot with simple modern rooms and home cooking; you trade the valley floor for altitude and silence.
Boutique rooms Pri Rogovilcu Six themed rooms in a riverside house the family has kept since 1967, with a private-use Finnish sauna, at the Robanov kot turnoff before Solčava.

Mid-range

Comfortable farmstays and guesthouses ('turistična kmetija'), many with their own restaurant serving valley produce and dairy.

Our picks

Eco House Na razpotju Three generations run this eco guesthouse of ten herb-themed rooms at the central fork of the valley; near-perfect scores, and it books out fast.

Luxury

A few characterful country hotels and upgraded farm suites, cozy and scenic rather than opulent; the setting is the luxury.

Our picks

Hotel Plesnik The valley's flagship and its only true hotel: glass-walled valley views, a proper wellness house, and a kitchen picking up Michelin attention.
