Kranjska Gora

Gates to the mountain paradise

Visit the glacial valley of Vrata and ascend the mighty peaks that surround it. Mountain trails of various levels of difficulty lead to memorable vistas. Mountaineers and alpinists are drawn to the northern wall of Mount Triglav. The valley can be reached from Mojstrana by car or by bike, or you can head to Vrata following a pathway along the brook of Triglavska Bistrica. Enjoy some refreshment at the Aljažev Dom mountain hut, where you can also spend the night.

Find out how it feels to be a ski jumping eagle

Fly like an eagle at the Planica Nordic Centre. Descend down the Planica ski flying hill with the world’s steepest zipline and experience the adrenaline as felt by the world’s ski-jumping elite, who compete at this venue every March. You can cross-country ski every day of the year in Planica, including in the summer. In the winter, though, routes are maintained from the Tamar Valley to Kranjska Gora. You can cycle to Planica along a well-tended cycling route through the Upper Sava Valley.

Breezing down the hill

Quicken your heart rate by visiting the Kranjska Gora Bike Park, where three basic lines await, great for both beginners and professionals alike. Diverse facilities, riding through the forest and across the grassy slope will make sure you have an adrenaline-filled experience. Kranjska Gora also boasts the first official Slovenian mountain bike trail, the Robe Twist.

Hop from your bed directly onto the ski slope

Come and ski in Kranjska Gora. There are 18 ski routes of varying levels of difficulty available along the slope of Vitranc, all the way from Kranjska Gora to Planica. What makes the Kranjska Gora ski slopes special is that the hotel and the ski slope are separated merely by the Snow Beach, where gastronomic delights and fun for the entire family await. The excellent schools of skiing will help you develop your skiing skills. Skiing is also possible in Mojstrana and Rateče.

Fairy tale characters for the whole family

Meet fairy tale characters created by the local writer Josip Vandot, who live in a hidden little corner tucked away in the mountains. The clever shepherd-boy by the name of Kekec, wild hag Pehta, the wicked Bedanec, the wise Vitranc, the kind Mojca, along with Tinkara, Brincelj and scaredy-cat Rožle, will lead you into the world of legends and tell you about life in these parts. Visitors can get to the Kekec Wonderland by taking the Bedanec Bus. It is a lovely experience for all family members.

Ascend safely to the wall

Above the village of Mojstrana, two secured routes – via ferratas – are located on the slope of the Grančišče Hill, offering new experiences in the kingdom of mountains. The via ferratas differ in terms of difficulty and are appropriate for beginners and experienced climbers alike. Upon reaching the peak, you will be rewarded with breath-taking views over the nearby Julian Alps and the Karavanke mountain range. There is a wild gorge with a secured via ferrata route in Gozd Martuljek, where you can put your climbing skills to the test.

Escape Museum Kajžnkova House

The Kajžnkova House in Rateče is a fine example of the architectural heritage of the area. However, there is more to its interior than that. It is full of riddles and codes that guide you in an innovative manner through the history, tradition, and life of the people of Rateče over time. Will you be able to solve the riddles and codes scattered throughout the entire museum collection in order to find a valuable treasure and preserve the tradition of Rateče?
