Summary: Kofler Sport is dedicated, well organised and experienced Agency for Outdoor Activities in Mountains. I did an avalanche prevention course and it was very useful. We went to Austrian Mountains (Obertauern) as in Slovenia snow conditions were poor. I recommend taking part in their activities as you will get the best out of it.
