The mountains of the Julian Alps in Slovenia rise to 2864 metres. In this small country, numerous beautiful ski tours of all levels of difficulty are possible in a very small area. Often the slopes are still skiable well into the spring and, compared to the higher mountains in the Alps, are much less crowded. Fantastic ski touring experiences await you in Slovenia!
