Treat yourself to a perfect skiing day  

Slovenian ski resorts usually open their facilities in December, thereby providing the option to ski during the holidays. The common feature of ski resorts in Slovenia is that they are family-friendly and suitable for every skier, regardless of their skiing skills. They are located within short distances from each other and are connected by a single ski pass. In addition to skiing, they offer a number of other experiences on the snow, so you will definitely not be bored.
