Welcome to the cradle of Alpine skiing

Slovenian ski resorts are diverse, but all of them offer fun in the snow for all generations and all types of skiers, regardless of their skiing abilities.

The smaller ski centres will impress you with their authenticity and relaxed atmosphere. The larger ski centres are usually a part of mountain centres with a wide variety of available activities throughout the year and well-developed infrastructure. In addition to sports fun, ski centres will also take your breath away with their unspoilt nature and incredible views of the surrounding valley and peaks.

In lower-lying ski centres, you’ll be able to enjoy forested plateau-like slopes. Higher-lying ski centres, located at an elevation from 1500 m to 2300 m, are less wooded or completely rocky and they offer incredible panoramic views. If the conditions are right, the skiing season in Slovenia can even last until May.

Truly close

One of the key advantages of Slovenian ski centres is that they are easily accessed and the distances are short: the closest mountain centre to the Jože Pučnik Airport is only 8 kilometres away, so it’s only about a 30-minute car drive from the capital city of Ljubljana to the gondola station. Close, right?

Even access to the most remote ski centres on the border with neighbouring Italy or Austria won’t take you longer than about a 2-hour drive from Ljubljana. Ski buses are also worth checking – during the season, there are daily lines to major ski centres.

If you get a single Skipass, you can go skiing at all of Slovenia’s ski centres. Just pick the one you prefer most.
