Slovenia has dozens of well-groomed ski centres with lifts. The best known ski centres world-wide are Kranjska Gora, which hosts an annual World Cup men's slalom and giant slalom competition, and Maribor Pohorje, which hosts the annual World Cup women's slalom and giant slalom Golden Fox competition.
The highest ski centre in Slovenia is on Mount Kanin, where the snow remains well into the spring. Also among the most popular destinations for alpine skiers are Krvavec, not far from Ljubljana. The larger ski centres also maintain trails for snowboarding, sledding, cross-country skiing, and even ski touring.
Situated just a few miles from the Austrian and Italian borders, the village of Kranjska Gora is set in spectacular surroundings, with the majestic Julian Alps as its backdrop. The resort has much to offer for everyone. Good skiing, cross-country and a range of non-skiing activities, as well as the friendliness of the Slovenian people and excellent value for money make Kranjska Gora Slovenias leading ski resort.
A variety of skiing is on offer for all levels of ability, with beginners and improvers being especially cared for by one of the best ski schools in Europe, run by ex-world champion Jure Kosir. The relaxed ambience of Kranjska Gora with its bars, restaurants, disco and casino, makes for enjoyable après ski entertainment.
