Ski holidays Cerklje na Gorenjskem - winter holiday in the Slovenian Alps!

Cerklje na Gorenjskem

The Slovenian community Cerklje na Gorenjskem is situated very idyllic on 391 m above the sea level at the foot of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, but only in 4 km distance from the Brnik international airport Brnik. The rural community offers an ideal connection and therefore makes a short holiday trip in the Slovenian Alps very convenient.

Cerklje na Gorenjskem attracts travellers not only because of the pleasant and short journey, but also because of the extensive range of leisure activities nearby. First of all, there is the Krvavec ski resort, which is located very close to the village and offers 30 kilometres of pistes. Besides, the Slovenian capital Ljubljana is just 30 minutes away by car. The city is known for many historical and enchanting sights and is the perfect place for a day trip.

But even in the village itself, you do not have to look far for historical buildings: Amoung other things, there is S because there are various spots in the community itself, which wait for you to get explored: Among other things the castle Strmol castle, one of the oldest castles in Slovenia, which is exceptionally well preserved. The landscape around Cerklje na Gorenjskem is also absolutely worth seeing, as roughly half of the community consists of forests, fields and rivers - and of course do not forget the snow-covered Alps in the background!

Upper Sava Valley

The Slovenian Upper Sava Valley is located in the far north-west of the country, close to the border triangle with Italy and Austria. To the north, you can enjoy fantastic views of the Karawanken mountains, while to the south you can see the Julian Alps.

Winters are cold in the Upper Sava Valley, making it ideal for winter sports in the Slovenian Alps. Nevertheless, the slopes on the Karawanken side enjoy excellent sunshine, allowing for skiing in great snow and sunshine at the same time.

Winter holidaymakers in the Upper Sava Valley appreciate the Gorenjska (Upper Carniola) ski region, which comprises a total of 18 municipalities and 17 large to small ski areas. With 30 kilometres of pistes, Krvavec is the largest ski resort, followed by Kobla (23 kilometres of pistes), Vogel (22 kilometres of pistes) and Kranjska Gora (20 kilometres of pistes). The other 13 ski resorts are also manageable in size, making them ideal for families and beginners.

Even though the Upper Sava Valley is very idyllic and peaceful, there are still larger, vibrant cities to visit. The city of Kranj, for example, with its approximately 200,000 inhabitants, is always worth a visit. And don't forget Slovenia's beautiful capital, Ljubljana!
