Kranjska Gora
Kranjska Gora
Kranjska Gora is a stunning alpine resort town tucked away in Slovenia's Julian Alps, right near the borders with Italy and Austria. This small but charming town has transformed from a traditional farming village into one of Slovenia's premier year-round destinations.
In winter, the area comes alive with skiers and snowboarders hitting the slopes of the Vitranc mountain. The resort might not be as massive as some in neighboring countries, but it offers well-maintained pistes suitable for beginners and intermediate skiers. When summer arrives, the mountains turn green, and the town becomes a base for hiking, mountain biking, and other outdoor activities.
Kranjska Gora is famous for hosting the annual Vitranc Cup, an Alpine Skiing World Cup event that brings top competitors from around the globe. The area is also part of Triglav National Park, Slovenia's only national park and home to the country's highest peak.
The town center features traditional alpine architecture with wooden balconies and colorful flower boxes. Lake Jasna, with its crystal-clear turquoise waters and mountain backdrop, is just a short walk from town. And don't miss the Russian Chapel on the Vršič Pass, built by Russian POWs during WWI as a memorial to their fallen comrades.
