Winter Sports in Slovenia
64The video, created by filmmaker Jonathan Stow, acts as a ‘postcard from Slovenia’ showcasing why the country is set to be the next big European winter sporting destination in 2016.
Connected to both Italy and Austria via the great Alps mountain range, Slovenia offers a fantastic variety of winter sporting opportunities. Spend a day enjoying a winter sport of your choice on the slopes of Krvavec, Slovenia's second largest ski resort, sample cross-country skiing along the mighty Pokljuka plateau and experience night sledging down Kranjska Gora, a narrow valley sat beside the Julian Alps.
The country has one of the longest traditions of skiing in Europe and the country’s ski resorts are well known for their impeccably maintained slopes as well as their easy accessibility from urban areas. The country boasts the nearest ski resort to an international airport in Europe with Krvavec located just twenty minutes from Ljubljana airport.
