Kranjska Gora Ski Resort Guide
Introduction
What's more, you'll find ample facilities for snowboarding, telemark, tobogganing, ice skating and ice climbing here. And while it may not look like much at first glance, with its modern buildings encircling a more attractive (and older) centre, Kranjska Gora also offers one of the best choices of accommodation and après-ski activities of any ski resort in the country.

Hit the slopes
The slopes at Kranjska Gora cater to skiers of all levels of ability, but only 2.5km (1.5 miles) of the runs are designated ‘difficult', and they're mostly racing pistes at Podkoren 3km (2 miles) to the west.
The resort's lifts are mostly drag lifts, but there are five chairlifts, four quad chairs and a double.
A number of outfits offer ski tuition and rental equipment, including ASK Kranjska Gora, Borovška cesta 99a, and Skipass Travel, Borovška cesta 95.
