It took place in a peaceful and secret area of charming Slovenia. No one knew if it was ever to return – Until now. Hell yeah, it’s back! Seven years after the first event, Winter Camp will come back in a fresh new design. The organizers of the biggest Slovenian festival, the MetalDays, will host the new festival in 2017 – Winter Days of Metal. In the lovely surroundings of beautiful Bohinj valley, just right under the arm of Slovenia's highest mountain Triglav, accentuated by breathtaking Lake of Bohinj, a new adventure is born. In March, the quiet village of Bohinjska Bistrica will welcome metalheads from all over the world. The event’s main location will be in Dvorana Danica of Bohinjska Bistrica. You will be able to enjoy real winter holidays merged with heavy, breaching metal sounds. The skiing ground of the Vogel Ski Resort will offer you an amazing skiing experience on natural snow, simply spectacular views and very well-maintained ski slopes. Those who prefer some nice relaxing Spa are invited to Bohinj Aquapark, offering swimming pools, jacuzzis, saunas and everything else that is needed for a relaxing stay. Winter Days of Metal will rock the mountains from March 20-26, 2017. The ticket sale starts on August 10, 2016. You can find more information about ticket prices, accommodation packages, festival packages and the first band announcements at the festival’s webpage as of August 10 at www.winterdaysofmetal.com.
