Winter skiing and multi-activity holidays in Slovenia

Skiing and Multi-activity Holiday - Slovenia

7 Days based in Bovec Kanin Ski Centre and the Soca Valley

Based at over 2000m Mount Kanin is the highest resort in Slovenia, offering skiing and boarding for all abilities. Kanin stands out from other resorts due to its amazing location within the famous Soca Valley, with the turquoise waters of the Soca River nearby. Incredible views in all directions and a view reaching to Venice and the Adriatic coast make skiing at Kanin a unique experience.

Kanins high elevation accounts for the often superb snow conditions and allows the ski season to continue into the month of May. With the season for kayaking beginning in mid March  the resort can offer the unusual combination of Skiing/Boarding and river activities such as rafting and kayaking in the same day. 

2010 marks the opening of an exciting new link-up whereby lifts will operate between Kanin (Slovenia) and Sella Nevea (Italy) allowing skiers and boarders to experience skiing in two countries in the same day, creating a resort of international standards. While skiing in Slovenia may seem a novel idea to some, the benefits of skiing in this unique country are endless. From excellent snow conditions, quieter pistes, longer seasons to the ‘three course meal for under 8 Euros’ served in Kanins restaurant there are many reasons why Slovenia is an ideal location for a good value winter holiday for the family.

Besides Skiing and boarding the valley can offer, snowshoeing, half or full day adventure treks, Tandem Paragliding (with skis on) from Kanin’s peak, and day or night sledging on Slovenia's second highest mountain, Mangart. With highly trained local instructors at hand why not turn your family holiday into a multi-activity trip including the following activities:

 

Sledging

Whether by day or at night, experience the thrill of sledging down one of Slovenia's most beautiful mountains. This is an exciting but safe activity and a different way of discovering the natural winter delights of the area. By day take in the vistas from this magnificent mountain, or by night under a vast starry sky with only the moon and a head torch to light the way. Treat yourself to the joys of childhood and take your family and friends to this fun winter experience. 

Snow shoeing

The heavy snowfall of recent winters has made snowshoeing a popular activity within the Valley. Walking on snowy moonscapes on modern snow shoes is a fantastic and unique way to explore this magical place, whether it is a trip to the source of the famous Soca River or a winterland safari, Snowshoeing is an exhilarating way to spend a days adventures.

 

Skiing and snowboarding

Enjoy unforgettable skiing on Kanin, the highest ski area in Slovenia. There is a wide range of well maintained ski slopes, suitable for all grades of skiers.  This winter season  welcomes the connection of the two ski centres, the Kanin Ski Centre on the Slovenian side and Sella Nevea on the Italian side. Highly trained local instructors and guides are available to teach beginners or help more experienced skiers improve on existing skills and techniques. Full equipment hire is available in Bovec, near the base of the cable car. 

 

Accommodation

After a long days adventuring, kick back and relax in the comfort of Casa Rosa - our ideal base for families and small adult groups. This home from home chalet in the picturesque village of Zaga is only a short distance frrom the ski slopes.
