Why choose Slovenian ski resorts?

Slovenia is a country of smaller ski resorts and mountain centres, making them easy to navigate and accessible for skiers of different skill levels. Here are a few reasons why skiing in Slovenia is worth it.

Kranjska Gora – from the town centre to the ski slopes on foot

Kranjska Gora is one of the most popular ski destinations in Slovenia. The reasons for this are the numerous snowy and other adventures, which will entertain all generations and skill levels of skiers zigzagging down the white slopes. If you visit Kranjska Gora in March, you may get caught up in the cheering frenzy because two World Cup competitions will be taking place nearby – the Vitranc Cup, FIS Men’s Alpine Skiing World Cup, and the FIS Ski Jumping World Cup in Planica.

Winter holidays at thermal spas

When you hear the words "winter holidays", you may first think of snow, but winter at thermal spas can be just as appealing. Here, you can focus on your health and immunity, relax, pamper yourself and enjoy the unique water activities on offer at thermal parks. Best of all, most Slovenian thermal spas are not far from ski resorts, making it easy to combine spa days with fun in the snow.
