Mount Šija is a neighbor of the Vogel, which gives the ski resort and cable car their names. Of course, the slopes and cable cars are not a pretty sight. But in summer you can easily drive close to the ridge. From the mountain station of the chairlift it is still about 160 m and a good half hour to the very promising summit (view of the Triglav massif, and in the south you can see far towards the Adriatic Sea). We recommend a ridge hike from Šija to Vogel or in the other direction to Rodica Mountain.

The ride with the Vogel cable car costs currently (summer 19) ordinary 24 euro mountain and descent. From the mountain station of the gondola lift it goes once again with a chairlift a bit further up. Last descent chairlift 17h. Last descent cable car 19h.
