We wish to provide a comfortable and fast journey between the Ljubljana airport and Bled for all Bled Strategic Forum participants.

For this reason, we will be providing a free shuttle service between Ljubljana airport and Bled. 

The shuttle service will be running at 30-45 minute intervals.

The shuttle pick-up point at Ljubljana Airport is next to the Arrivals area, more information can be found at the BSF Info Desk.

The main drop-off (and pick-up point for departures) in Bled is in front of the Rikli Balance Hotel (the point will be flagged) – see attached.

Upon your return to the airport, please note that during rush hours the service pick-up times could vary and delays are possible– nevertheless, our team will make sure the wait times will not be too long.

Coming to Bled: LJUBLJANA AIRPORT ARRIVALS

Upon your arrival at Ljubljana Airport, there will be a »BSF Info Desk« in the Arrivals section. Bled Strategic Forum volunteers will be there to offer assistance in case you will need it.

The staff of the Info Desk will direct you to the BSF shuttle pick-up point in front of the Airport.

Once a shuttle arrives, registered panelists will be given priority boarding.

Going back home: BLED (and BOHNIJ, RIBNO) DEPARTURES

The pick-up points for Ljubljana Airport Departures are in front of the Rikli Balance Hotel, Hotel Ribno Bled and Bohinj Eco Hotel with Rikli Balance being the main pick-up point (flagged location).

For departures keep in mind your flight times. It is advisable to be at Ljubljana Airport at least 2 hours prior to your flight – planning ahead is crucial. For example, in the case that your flight leaves at rush hour (i.e. 7-9 am, 15-18 pm) plan your shuttle boarding accordingly due to heavier traffic on the road.
