About Kranjska Gora

Kranjska Gora sits in the upper Sava valley, close to the Austrian and Italian borders. In winter the ski slopes run down to the edge of town; in summer visitors come for the Vršič road over the Julian Alps, the ski-flying valley at Planica and the Slovenian Alpine Museum in Mojstrana. Gozd Martuljek and Rateče are quieter villages along the same valley road.
