Voted the best Slovene ski resort multiple times by In Your Pocket readers, its huge popularity (capacity: 13,700 skiers/hour) is partly by virtue of its proximity to Ljubljana, just 45 minutes by car. Of course the views are spectacular (1450-1971m), and the piste breathtaking, literally with 23km of medium to demanding slopes. For beginners and families there's a ski school, large equipment rental facility and 7km of easy slopes. For everyone, there are lots of accommodation options available on the mountain (book early) - and 100 days of guaranteed skiing per year (90% artificial snow coverage). Slovenia's flagship ski destination.

Head northbound on the A2 from Ljubljana, once out in the countryside it's signposted from the motorway, near Kranj.
