Stories from Skoki

Stories from the Mountain

Since 1931, Skoki Lodge has been the setting for countless stories of adventure, discovery, and transformation.

A Day at Skoki - Summer

Morning light filters through the valley as guests begin their hike to Merlin Lake. The air is crisp, wildflowers abundant along the trail. By afternoon, weary but exhilarated hikers return to the lodge, welcomed with warm hospitality and exceptional dining. This is the rhythm of summer at Skoki.

A Night at Skoki - Winter

As darkness falls, the lodge becomes a sanctuary against the alpine cold. Fires crackle in the hearth, conversations flow among guests from around the world, and mountain silence envelops everything. This is where memories are made, stories shared, and the ordinary transforms into extraordinary.

Backcountry Skiing Legacy

Since 1931, Skoki has been a destination for ski mountaineers seeking pristine terrain and mountain solitude. The lodge sits surrounded by legendary skiing terrain—from gentle valley tours to expert descents. Every turn here connects you to a century of mountain tradition.

Alpine Dining Experience

Evenings at Skoki revolve around the dining experience. Three-course meals prepared with care, shared stories around candlelit tables, and the warmth of genuine hospitality. This isn’t just sustenance—it’s part of the Skoki experience.

Summer Wildflower Season

July through August, alpine meadows explode with color. Self-guided hikes reveal hidden valleys and pristine lakes accessible only by foot. This is the season when the mountains come alive, and Skoki provides the perfect base for your exploration.

Winter Solitude

December through March transforms Skoki into a true winter sanctuary. Fewer visitors, deeper snow, and the clearest stargazing of the year. This is backcountry skiing at its purest—no lift lines, no crowds, just you and the mountains.

The Journey Itself

The 11-kilometer approach to Skoki is more than transportation—it’s the first chapter of your story. Each step takes you further into wilderness, further from everyday life, and closer to an experience unlike any other. By the time you arrive, warm hospitality and exceptional dining await you.

Skoki Lodge operates with deep respect for the alpine environment and the traditions established in 1931. We practice leave-no-trace principles, preserve the historic character of the lodge, and work to ensure this wilderness remains intact for future generations. Our focus is on providing outstanding hospitality and being your home in the mountains.
