When snow turns the lowlands white, cross-country skiers are delighted to find suitable trails close to many of the tourist locations. Many trails are laid out through picturesque glades or fairy-tale snowy forests, and they are usually free. The best-known trails are on Pokljuka, the world-famous biathlon centre with its new, well-equipped sports centre and hotel. Cross-country skiers also like to head off to the unspoilt valley of Logarska Dolina in the Solčavsko area, which is a European Destination of Excellence 2009.
