Rogla is one of the three major tourist and recreational centers on Pohorje. It is located on Pohorje at an altitude of about 1500 m. The ski slopes are spread over 100 ha. The center has a gym, tennis courts, football, handball, basketball and volleyball courts, an indoor pool and various tools to improve fitness.
The Rogla area played an important role during the National Liberation War, as partisan routes led across it from the south to the north side of Pohorje. After the arrival of XIV. division to Styria, more and more fighters joined the partisan units. On June 27, 1944, the 2nd Pohorje Detachment was established on Rogla. In the summer of 1944, a base was operating on Rogla to receive aid dropped by Western Allied aircraft. At Skrivni vrh, west of Rogla, the partisan technique "Sova" was hidden. Under Javorič, near the TV path towards Ribniška koča, in 1944 the partisan hospital Tihi dol operated. There are also several monuments to fallen NOV fighters on Rogla. From the lookout tower towards the hotel is the grave of five fighters of the 4th operational zone with a monument, on the way to Ribniška koča a grave with a monument to six fallen fighters, and on the southern slope below the lookout tower a monument and grave of twelve fallen fighters. They all fell on Rogla, which testifies to the fact that NOV units clashed with the Germans there several times.
