Bohinj: an Alpine pearl

Bohinj is one of the leading Alpine municipalities in Slovenia in the field of sustainable mobility. We are a member of the Alpine Pearls, which promotes sustainable mobility as part of the added value in tourism. We are also a holder of the platinum Slovenia Green label, part of a scheme that brings together destinations committed to sustainable tourism development.

Our aim is to make transport friendly to nature and people, to  provide a good quality of life for local people and to contribute to the development of responsible tourism.

Bohinj faces specific mobility needs, mainly due to the highly seasonal nature of tourism. In peak seasons, transport infrastructure often seems inadequate to cope with traffic demand. On the other hand, major infrastructure projects that can cope with these high loads in the short peaks often turn out to be severely oversized for the rest of the year, and they represent major interventions in a sensitive Alpine space, on top of being very expensive.

That’s why Bohinj decided a few years ago to move in the direction of finding different forms of sustainable mobility, based on a more modern approach to transport demand that seeks to make the best use of existing infrastructure, support public passenger transport and find innovative ways of mobility. We advocate and work on a dispersed parking system, optimising public transport and promoting alternative forms of mobility (cycling, walking).

European Mobility Week

The theme of sustainable mobility is also followed by the traditional European initiative, European Mobility Week, which aims in particular to encourage the introduction and promotion of sustainable transport measures. Every year, thousands of participating cities are connected in an effort to make mobility more people-friendly and environmentally responsible.

Activities take place throughout the year, culminating between 16-22 September. The municipality of Bohinj has joined this initiative on several occasions.

The European Mobility Week in Bohinj is part of the LIFE IP CARE4CLIMATE project (LIFE17 IPC/SI/000007), funded by the Ministry of the Environment and Spatial Planning under the Climate Change Fund.
