Slovenia

Slovenia ski resorts are located in between the borders of Italy and Austria. Slovenia offers fantastic skiing conditions, unspoiled ski slopes, modern facilities and cheap ski holidays. The diverse terrain offers stunning high peaks and beautiful glacial valleys, and the perfect setting for beginner and intermediate skiers. Kranjska Gora is located in the Julian Alps and is one of the most popular ski resorts, while Bohinj is situated on Slovenias largest glacial lake. Both resorts are an excellent choice for groups and families as they provide cheap ski packages and a relaxed friendly atmosphere. The cosmopolitan après ski scene is also well worth checking out. Valley bars and taverns serve locally brewed beer and wine, while the wonderful cuisine offered by Slovenia is mainly a German and Italian mix. Slovenia ski resorts have it all and they offer some of the best ski deals in Europe.
