Eco-Friendly Hotels in Logar Valley — Your 2026 Guide to Sustainable Stays

The Rinka Waterfall and the Valley's Headwall

The valley culminates at the Rinka waterfall — a 90-metre ribbon of water that falls in a single drop from the headwall of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps. A short, easy walk from the valley's end leads to its base, where the spray cools the whole amphitheatre on hot summer days. In spring and after rain the waterfall is thunderous; in hard winters it freezes into a column of ice that ice-climbers tackle with axes and crampons.

Above Rinka, the valley's high pastures — the Okrešelj plateau — open out beneath the peaks of Ojstrica and Mrzla gora, with a mountain hut serving as a base for summit climbs. The full traverse over the Kamnik saddle to the neighbouring valleys is one of Slovenia's classic high-mountain routes. For most visitors though, the joy is simpler: walking the valley floor between farms, past hay racks, cold springs and wildflower meadows that are at their best in June.

Farm Stays and the Valley's Slow-Food Culture

Logar Valley's farms are the heart of its appeal. Many have converted to organic production and offer rooms, apartments or the full agri-tourism experience — breakfast with fresh milk, cheese, eggs and mountain honey, dinners built around local lamb and vegetables, and the chance to watch (or join) the haymaking that still shapes the landscape. The valley's hay is dried on traditional wooden racks, a sight that has largely vanished elsewhere in the Alps.

Accommodation ranges from guesthouse rooms from about €55 a night to self-catering apartments on working farms. The valley's ecomuseum explains the area's cultural landscape, and the nearby village of Solčava has Slovenia's oldest known wooden statue — the Solčava Madonna, carved in the 14th century and now in the National Gallery in Ljubljana. In winter, the valley's farms light their stoves, snowshoers take over the trails, and the frozen waterfalls become climbing routes.

Hiking, Cycling and Getting to Logar Valley

The valley is a hiker's paradise: marked trails for every level, from the flat valley-floor walk to summit routes on Ojstrica (2,350 m), Mrzla gora (2,203 m) and Planjava (2,392 m). Mountain huts at Frischaufov dom and the Okrešelj hut offer food and shelter. Cyclists can ride the valley road (traffic-restricted from June to September) and connect to the wider Savinja valley network, and there are via ferrata routes for climbers.

Logar Valley sits in northern Slovenia, about 40 minutes from Ljubljana by car via Kamnik, or 1.5 hours by bus to Solčava and then a local connection. The nearest railheads are at Kamnik and Celje.

How IMPT Makes Your Logar Valley Stay Carbon-Negative

Here's the maths. An average hotel night produces roughly 35 kg of CO₂ — from air conditioning, laundry, lighting, and food service. When you book any Logar Valley hotel through IMPT, we retire 1,000 kg of UN-verified carbon removal credits. That's 28 times what your stay produces. Not carbon-neutral — carbon-negative.

The cost to you? Zero. IMPT funds the removal from its booking commission. You pay the standard nightly rate — in fact, IMPT offers the same rate as Booking.com on the same room, with carbon removal built in. The carbon credits are tokenised on Ethereum, retired against a named project, with a public retire code anyone can verify. No double-counting. No greenwashing. Just verified carbon removal, every night.
