Highlights
If you are looking for a relaxing vacation in your own luxury apartment with private wellness area, near first-class ski slopes, hiking and biking trails, you are looking at the right place. Kranjska Gora is the #1 ski resort in Slovenia and internationally renowned for the World Cup’s Slalom. It is also a summer paradise for hikers and bikers. A true gem in the Alps on the border of Slovenia, Austria and Italy.
Our place is located in the heart of the ski center beneath the Julian Alps in Kranjska gora. The location is quiet and in the immediate vicinity of the ski resort and cycling tracks. The house is located within walking distance from the centre, shops, ski slopes, etc. A bus station is located in front of the house.
The apartment is on the 1st floor of a newly built house in traditional Alpine chalet style. It is one of the most recent and higher-quality constructions in the area, featuring 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, open dining and living areas, 2 balconies and a private cellar, for a total 98 m2, plus a shared wellness and sauna area on the ground floor and a private parking spot. The apartment is independently heated and fully equipped in modern Alp style. From the balconies, you can enjoy a magnificent view to the Karavanke Mountains.
Kranjska Gora
Kranjska Gora is the most important Slovenian and a world-renowned winter sports center with more than a hundred years of tradition. Kranjska Gora is a popular winter and summer tourist centre. It lies on the edge of the Triglav National Park, home to the snow-topped Julian Alps. Kranjska Gora and its surroundings are attractive to anyone wanting to enjoy wonderful countryside, as well as those who enjoy relaxation and entertainment alongside unforgettable sporting events. Sports enthusiasts can enjoy well-kept ski slopes and lengthy cross-country ski routes in the winter, while in summer cyclists and hikers are attracted by the peaceful mountains and valleys, streams and emerald rivers.
Whether you are a passionate skier or nature lover, Kranjska gora has something for everyone. Kranjska gora is most famous for its winter sports but is the heart of the valley in summer too. It offers many sport events and plenty of entertainment for all who enjoy sport, parties and fun. True romantics will find a peaceful retreat.
When Kranjska gora is covered with ice and snow, the winter fun can begin. Night slalom skiing awaits you under the sportlights, and the winter sun accompanies you during unforgettable mountain ascents. You can choose between 18 ski slopes. Ski lifts and ski runs stretch over the slopes of Vitranc from Kranjska gora to Planica at altitudes from 800m to 1,215m. The system of 6 chairlifts and 13 drag lifts takes you to your dream trail.
Kranjska gora is also an excellent starting point for hiking in the Julian Alps and Karavanke Mountains. In a word, the hiking in the area is unbelievable. The well-maintained trails take you to clean mountain lakes, fields of wildflowers and high mountain passes. You can hike for a mile or a hundred, but you must go for a walk in the woods.
The mountain biking opportunities in the area are numerous. There are 200km of cycling tracks around Kranjska gora. Aside from the highest mountain pass in Slovenia, Vršič, which will surely not escape serious bike lovers, there is a wonderful well-kept cycle path from Zgornja Radovna (where the Pocar homestead lies) to Gorje, via which you can visit Bled lake. One of Slovenia's few fully paved cycling paths runs the length of the valley from Jesenice to Rateče, passing Kranjska gora. Bike rental is available at numerous places in town, including sports shops.
