LOCATION
Podkoren is one of Slovenia's prettiest mountain villages with lovely alpine architecture set around an attractive square with excellent restauant just 2km from Kranjska Gora, Slovenia's best known mountain resort. Gorska Hiša is a couple of minutes walk to the centre and 3 minutes walk to the Podkoren side of the Kranjska Gora ski pistes.
The apartments are in a spacious chalet just out of the centre of the village with lovely views of the World Cup Ski Pistes and Julian Alps. Not many Kranjska Gora chalets offer the opportunity for guests to watch the annual World Cup races from the comfort of their own balcony!
On the border with Austria & Italy, Kranjska Gora is the most famous mountain resort in Slovenia. The skiing is the main draw for many people – Kranjska Gora is a superb resort for families and beginner – intermediate level skiers, with pistes easily accessible from Podkoren or the Kranjska Gora side and a range of other Winter sports in proximity - cross country skiing, sled dog tours, skidoo tours, ice climbing, ski mountaineering & ice skating.
But with stunning mountain scenery, great access to the Triglav National park and a host of Summer outdoor pursuits it remains very popular all year round. Walking is one of the main Summer attractions with a huge range of beautiful trails to suit all abilities. Running through Podkoren is also a wonderful cycling trail on an old railway track runs 30km from the bottom of the Upper Sava Valley into Italy. There is also a huge range of mountain biking in the region including an World Cup mountain bike park on the Kranjska Gora ski slopes. There is also a Summer sledging piste on the ski slopes which is very popular with kids.
The town of Kranjska Gora itself is a pretty alpine affair, very family friendly, with lots of lively restaurants, bars and a couple of swimming pools / spas. Around Kranjska Gora are a number of extremely pretty villages (including Podkoren, Rateče, Mojstrana, Dovje) in idyllic mountain surroundings.
