Kranjska Gora: VITRANC 2 upper station
The landscape around Kranjska Gora is shaped by forested foothills of the Julian Alps, which have influenced both its buildings and local way of life. The town lies in Slovenia’s Upper Sava Valley, where the Sava Dolinka runs beneath the mountains close to the Austrian and Italian borders. Vitranc, the wooded mountain above Kranjska Gora, forms the core of its ski area, with pistes and lifts cut through conifer forest. Its slopes host the Vitranc Cup, a long-running men’s FIS Alpine Ski World Cup event. Kranjska Gora is also closely linked with the nearby Planica Valley, internationally known for ski jumping and ski flying, giving this compact resort town an enduring place in Slovenia’s mountain-sport culture.
