Ski touring around Kranjska Gora

Our base for this program is Kranjska Gora, in Slovenia.

Kranjska Gora started in the 14th century as a herdsmen settlement. Over time, it has developed to become a cosmopolitan Alpine village.

The first crucial event for this development was when the road across the Vršič pass was built. This resulted in Kranjska Gora being strategically important. The second main event was when the railway was built, and then the Planica ski jump.

Subsequently it turned into a tourist resort. Construction of cable cars on the Vitranc slopes followed. Then came climbing walls and summer sledding. Moreover, the town grew with the construction of beautiful apartments and hotels, different museums… The town is lively and things are constantly happening here.

The discovery of the Upper Sava Valley starts here, and it never ends!
