Ski, climb, run

When snow conditions are optimal, the range of winter activities in these resorts is extremely varied and the views are breathtaking.

Krvavec has always been synonymous with skiing here – its sunlit slopes, perfectly groomed runs, and genuine mountain atmosphere attract numerous enthusiasts of the white pistes. Velika Planina, however, tells a different story. It isn’t primarily about skiing (although the terrain is excellent for beginners) but about a unique experience: sledding across a snowy plateau and then warming up with a cup of homemade tea. Jezersko is the ideal destination for families – besides a family-friendly ski slope and a mini toboggan run, it also offers an appealing tubing track that guarantees plenty of fun.

For those who prefer walking over sledding on snow, snowshoeing is an excellent option – whether it’s venturing from Jezersko to the hidden corners beneath Grintovec or crossing the snow-covered pastures of Velika Planina. In Jezersko, two particularly popular hikes stand out: one over Jezerski Vrh to Roblekova Planina, which offers spectacular views, and another along the Ravenska Kočna Valley, a slightly gentler route.

When the snow blankets the peaks, ski touring becomes a real treat. A popular route leads to Mount Štular in Jezersko, or to Dleskovec and Lepenatka near Luče. Safety should always come first when out in the mountains – proper equipment, checking the weather and snow conditions, and a responsible attitude are key, as winter in the mountains can quickly reveal its unforgiving side.

Jezersko also features an artificial ice rink in winter, located right next to Lake Planšar. If the cold persists, the lake itself freezes over, and skating beneath the majestic peaks—surrounded by silence and crisp mountain air—becomes a truly unforgettable experience. There is also an ice rink in the Tuhinjska Valley, right next to Terme Snovik, where you can warm up in heated swimming pools after an invigorating session on the ice.
