Enjoy snow and ice!

Slovenia has a long and rich tradition in many winter sports. Alpine skiing and ski jumping are part of our identity, and our proud tradition is reflected in the ski flying in Planica, the Golden Foxes and the Alpine World Cup in Kranjska Gora. Our mountaineers, trained in their home mountains, have been at the top of the world scene for decades. We are enthusiastic about winter sports, which is also reflected in the mass participation in popular winter hikes.

Nature is on our side, with its rugged terrain and long winters offering many opportunities for winter fun. Almost all of Slovenia, except Primorska, is often covered in snow, creating magical landscapes from December to April. Although the least snow falls in July and August, snow cover persists in the shady areas. Before heading to the mountains, check the weather forecast and snow conditions for a safe experience.

The infrastructure for accessing winter destinations is well developed, making even the most remote destinations easily accessible. Close is a relative term, as everything that is far away in Slovenia is actually close.

See you on the snow?

The winter offer is varied and rich. Alpine skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, cross-country skiing or perhaps tobogganing? Winter hiking, ski touring, snowshoeing, torchlight walks? Maybe snowmobiling or dog sledding? Climbing frozen waterfalls and snowy ravines. Going down the slopes in a snow raft or hovercraft? What are you tempted by?

Mountain centres

You’ll find most winter experiences in mountain centres, where modern infrastructure is combined with a wide range of activities. They offer ski and snowboard schools, equipment hire, guided hiking tours, ski touring with experienced guides, catering and accommodation.

Make sure you have all the information you need, the right equipment and safety warnings before you go. Only if your winter adventures end safely will you have good memories.

See you on the snow!
