About location

Pokljuka Biathlon Centre is best known within Slovenia for staging elite biathlon competitions. It stands at Rudno Polje on the forested Pokljuka Plateau in the Julian Alps, within the wider Bohinj area. Its stadium, shooting range and network of cross-country ski trails make it Slovenia’s principal venue for the sport. Pokljuka has repeatedly hosted Biathlon World Cup events and was the venue for the 2021 Biathlon World Championships. The surrounding plateau belongs to Triglav National Park, where extensive spruce forest and alpine terrain create a setting distinct from the lakeside settlements of Bohinj. This is a place defined by organised Nordic sport as much as by the high Alpine landscape.
