Kranjska Gora

If you’re heading for Slovenia on your winter adventure then there is a good chance you’ll be on your way to Kranjska Gora; the premier ski resort in the central European nation.

Located at an altitude of more than 800m, the resort sits close to the border with both Austria and Italy and is perfect for beginners – with plenty of runs that are suited to those with lower levels of experience.

For intermediate skiers, there is the chance to glide through the trees at higher altitude whilst a challenging black run that has been used in the World Cup will appeal to the more hardcore visitor.

Offering excellent value for money, Kranjska Gora is packed with culture and charm but is also something of a hidden gem when compared to other major resorts across Europe.

As such, the queues are smaller and you’ll spend less time waiting around before taking to the slopes to showcase your skills.

With beautiful scenery at every turn, you’ll not regret the decision to see what Slovenia is all about.

Apres-Ski in Kranjska Gora

The value for money of a break in Kranjska Gora is reflected in the après-ski, which is largely focused around the hotels.

There are bars and restaurants around the resort itself, but they are limited in numbers.

However, the fact you are so close to the borders with Italy and Austria means you can expect to find varied international cuisine.

Non-Skiing Activities in Kranjska Gora

Away from the ski slopes, a wide selection of winter activities are available such as sledding, hiking or snow biking.

Within the main hotels, you can also find spas in which to relax with a beauty treatment, or a casino where you can try your luck at a range of traditional games.

A short trip away is the resort of Bled, with more picture postcard views and beautiful emerald lake that serves as one of the most dramatic views you can expect to find on Slovenian soil.
