Kranjska Gora & Around

Located on the border with Austria & Italy, Kranjska Gora is the most famous mountain resort in Slovenia, hosting annual world cup skiing and ski-jumping events. 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 the village. For more advanced skiers there are the World Cup runs at Podkoren (connected to the main Kranjska Gora ski area) and 8 resorts in Italy, Austria and Slovenia within 30-60 minutes drive. With stunning mountain scenery, great access to the Triglav National park and a host of Summer and Winter outdoor pursuits (walking, mountain biking, horse riding, cross country skiing, mountaineering), Kranjska Gora remains very popular all year round. The town itself is a pretty alpine affair, very family friendly, with lots of lively restaurants, bars, a couple of swimming pools / spas, mountain bike park and a Summer sledging piste. Around Kranjska Gora are a number of extremely pretty villages (Podkoren, Rateče, Mojstrana, Dovje), jumbles of traditional Gorenjska style farmhouses usually focused around excellent local gostilnas (inns).
