In the winter, when nature calms down and rests, it’s time for some fun in the snow and on ice.
Slovenians have had a long and rich tradition in many sports connected to the snow, cold, and ice. Alpine skiing and ski jumping are an important part of our identity. Who has never heard of ski flying in Planica, the Golden Fox race in Maribor, or the World Cup Alpine skiing races in Kranjska Gora? Our mountaineers, who train in the Slovenian mountains, have been among the world’s best for decades. Virtually everyone does some kind of a winter sport recreationally and participates in popular winter hikes.
