Cross-Country Skiing Slovenia

In Slovenia, skiing in all its forms is nothing short of a national pastime. When conditions are right, and they mostly are, Slovenes migrate to the mountains to take advantage of their picture-perfect Alpine wonderland. Cross-country skiing is a sport Slovenes are particularly proud of. The country has produced many world-class athletes in this discipline, including Olympic medallists, all of whom have forged their careers on the envious network of Slovenia’s beautiful ski slopes and cross-country trails.

There’s no better place to practice this incredible sport than on the most awesome cross-country ski trails Slovenia has to offer. These well-maintained runs of varying difficulty are located in the Julian Alps, where nature has provided the perfect landscape for indulging in winter sports.
