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

Winters are cold in the Upper Sava Valley, so nothing stands in the way of winter sports in the Slovenian Alps. Nevertheless, the slopes on the Karavanke side in particular enjoy an excellent sunny location, which makes skiing possible with 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 18 large and small ski areas. With 30 kilometres of pistes, Krvavec is the largest ski area, followed by Vogel (22 kilometres of pistes), Kranjska Gora (20 kilometres of pistes) and Cerkno (18 kilometres of pistes). The other 14 ski areas are also manageable and therefore ideal for families and beginners in particular.

Even if the Upper Sava Valley is very idyllic and quiet, there are still larger, vibrant towns to visit. The town of Kranj, for example, with its 56,000 inhabitants, is always worth a visit. And don't forget Slovenia's marvellous capital Ljubljana!
