With the highest peak reaching 2,017 m (Pancicev vrh), it has a total length of 55 km of alpine ski slopes of all levels at a friendly altitude. Night skiing (18:00 – 21:00), snowboard and cross-country slopes and the possibility of artificial snow if necessary, definitely put it on the list of those who love winter sports.

Ski Resort
