No wonder, local winter resorts are on the same level as localities in West Europe at least!Travelling to Slovenia takes approx. seven hours, and it is worth to go there. You can obtain six-days ski-pass for EUR 120,-, permanent tickets cost approx. the same amount as in Czech Republic winter resorts. Anyway, the service for skiiers and snowboardists is better and all slopes are arranged very well. Most popular and important winter resort is Kranjska Gora in Julské Alps mountain range. The community is placed in an altitude of 810 m of sea level. This winter resort is well-known especiallly thanks to competitions of World Cup in descent skiing.

You find here 30 kms of well arranged descent routes of all stages of difficulties, four wire-rope railways. fourteen ski-towages on twenty ski-descent routes. Ski-running lovers find here more than 25 kms of running routes.

The best at the conclusion! Bled is a small town, situated in Slovenia at foot of Julské Alps, on a border of Triglav National Park. Its outskirs offer ideal conditions for summer touring. You find here many tourist attractions, as, for instance, a marvellous lake with a church and castle on an island in the middle. Bled Lake is one of most popular tourist centre of Slovenia. Anyway, Bled is not only classical winter ski and sports resort but it is a pearl on a crown of Alps Mountains.
