Majestic, picturesque and outstanding are just a few ways in which to describe Slovenia and come winter, many of its stunning resorts claim host to perfect ski and snowboard conditions. For a breathtaking alternative European ski resort, ski holidays to Slovenia are the ideal choice.
Nestled between Italy, Austria, Croatia and Hungary, it's easy to see why Slovenia is one of Europe's most sought after ski resorts. Growing in popularity every year with British and European tourists alike, it has still retained its quaint feel, friendly reputation and beautiful scenery.
Slovenia has 3 main resorts; Kranjska Gora, Lake Bled and Lake Bohinj. Each one as stunning as the next, yet completely different in their own way. Kranjska Gora, the most northern of the ski resorts, offers 2 nursery slopes and 4 gentle slopes, perfect for all winter sport lovers! As the only resort situated directly on the slopes in Slovenia, it is located 810 metres above sea level giving guests an impeccable base for exploring the Julian Alps.

Kranjska Gora offers much more than just ski and snowboarding with options to try your hand at ski jumping, tobogganing, snowmobiling and cross-country skiing as well as an amazing selection of restaurants, casinos and many shopping opportunities. It is a must for those who also love to maximise their time off-piste!

As the Slovenian poet France Prešeren once called it, the "Image of Paradise", Lake Bled is possibly the most picturesque resort in Slovenia. This immaculate spa town is set on the edge of a lake, which during the ski season looks postcard perfect and is a firm favourite with ski and snowboard enthusiasts! A popular attraction is Bled Island, the only naturally formed island in Slovenia.
