Winter in the Alps isn’t only about skiing every day.
It’s about space, silence, routines, and nature — the kind that resets your head while you keep your work moving.
Hubs Travel and Apartments Emerald Valley, are giving away one full month at the Bovec Winter Workation — completely free.
If you’re a digital nomad who likes winter, mountains, and real communities (not resort bubbles), this one’s worth your attention.
Why Bovec in winter?
Tucked away in the heart of the Julian Alps, Bovec is a small alpine town surrounded by peaks, forests, and the turquoise river of the Soča Valley.
Winter here is quiet, authentic, and grounding.
Tourism slows down. Locals reclaim their rhythm. Cafés feel familiar. Trails are empty. Snow transforms the valley into something raw and cinematic.
This isn’t a flashy ski resort destination — it’s a place to live, not just visit.
“But Kanin is closed — what’s there to do?”
True: Kanin Ski Resort is currently closed.
But winter in Bovec was never just about Kanin.
Here’s what winter life actually looks like 👇
❄️ Winter hiking & snowshoeing
👉 Low- and mid-altitude trails remain accessible
👉 Snowshoe routes around the valley and forests
👉 Stunning viewpoints over the Soča River, even in winter
Perfect for afternoons after work or long weekend walks.
