A small town in the Julian Alps close to the border with Austria and Italy, Kranjska Gora is popular as a winter resort hosting Alpine skiing World Cup events. Zgornjesavska Valley, where the town lies, is a place of spectacular natural beauty in both winter and summer, and its people are friendly and hospitable. Apart from skiing, the area offers excellent conditions for hiking, cycling, Alpine climbing, horseback riding, fishing, kayaking and whitewater rafting. A Village day in Ratece is an opportunity to encounter the local traditions, costumes and handicrafts, while a dog-sled competition entertains visitors in the winter season.
