Results from UV, optical and near-IR simultaneous observations for 11 BL Lac objects are reported. We find that for all but one source the spectral flux distribution can be described by a single power law (fv ∞ v −α) plus, where relevant, the contribution of the host galaxy. The comparison of the optical-near-IR and UV spectral indices for two samples of BL Lacs suggests the same picture for a larger sample of objects.
