Our Review

Kranjska Gora has the most traditional 'ski village feel' of all the Slovenian ski resorts we have been to so far and is where we sampled our first 'Kuhana Vino', a hot sweet spiced white wine.

Piste access is direct from the village, with the base of the main pistes ending at a range of bars and restaurants.  The slopes are lively, especially the music on the nursery slopes, and there is a good variety of skiing for everyone with well prepared pistes and good snow cannon coverage.

Families will love it here, there is a crèche right at the bottom of the slopes and a large sectioned off play area.  One time we visited there was also a friendly snowman handing out sweets and entertaining the children. 

The adjoining ski area of Podkoren is well worth a visit for the well maintained, empty pistes.  The reason the pistes are empty is access.  There are 3 options for getting to Podkoren from the main Kranjska Gora ski area.  Firstly down the bottom section of a reasonably steep black and then to return, go back up to the top of the mountain and drop down into the main Kranjska Gora area.  Secondly, a long push along a path maintained for cross-country skiing (totally flat).  Lastly, you can take a short drive from Kranjska Gora to the car park at the base of the Podkoren slopes.  Your level of skiing will determine the best option for you.
