Kranjska Gora: Ski Resort - VITRANC 1 upper station
Few places in the Julian Alps have a past as closely linked to alpine skiing as Kranjska Gora. The resort lies in the upper Sava Dolinka valley beneath the forested slopes of Vitranc, close to Slovenia’s borders with Austria and Italy. Ski runs and lift infrastructure extend above the town, while the surrounding peaks place it firmly within the wider Julian Alps. Kranjska Gora is internationally associated with FIS Alpine Ski World Cup races on the Vitranc course, including the demanding Podkoren slope. It is also a base for exploring Lake Jasna and routes leading towards the Vršič Pass. Traditional Alpine architecture and a long-established outdoor-sports identity define this corner of northwestern Slovenia.
