Luxury holidays in Kranjska Gora

Where the Julian Alps jut towards the Austrian border, the chalet-dotted mountain resort of Kranjska Gora is wrapped in Alpine scenery. This launchpad to outdoor adventures is a tale of two seasons: winter snow brings skiers to town, and during summer it’s the ramblers and cyclists that appear in numbers. Nature lovers are welcome all year round.

When to go

Kranjska Gora is a ski resort come winter, with a modest 20 kilometres of runs open between December and March. May and September are our picks for hiking and biking, when the temperatures are a little cooler and the trails quieter.

Getting there

  • Planes

    Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport is one hour by road from Kranjska Gora.

  • Trains

    From Ljubljana, there are direct services to Jesenice; from there it’s a 25-minute drive to Kranjska Gora.

  • Automobiles

    If you can arrange transfers, you won’t need a car once you’re in the resort — this is a place to walk or cycle — but for added freedom to explore the region, a set of wheels will prove useful.
