However, routes may vary slightly on the day depending on the weather and ability of the group.
Location: Kranjska Gora is a small but lively Alpine town in a lovely mountain setting. It is located in northwestern Slovenia close to the Austrian and Italian borders. The village has all of the amenities that you would need in a modern ski resort. There are supermarkets, a bank, a post office, a well-equipped medical center, a tourist information office, several sports shops. There are numerous bars and restaurants. Although there are several large hotels, the village center retains its own identity. The area is full of nice neighboring villages worth visit. Such as world-famous ski jumps at Planica and a spectacular waterfall in Mojstrana. Out of the ski season, Kranjska Gora becomes a very popular base for walking and mountain biking holidays. The popularity of this region grows yearly, and all we can say is, come and experience it yourself!
