Things to do
12-
Kranjska Gora Ski Resort
Book a hotel at the foot of the slopes and you can walk to the first lift with your skis on your shoulder.
-
Zelenci
Zelenci's ice-cold springs bubble up through a pale chalky bed into a small emerald pool, and a wooden boardwalk over the marsh lets you watch a river rise out of the ground.

Lake Jasna
Walk out from the village in about twenty minutes and the Julian Alps are reflected in front of you. Come at sunrise for still water and an empty shore.
-
Liznjek Farm
Look in on a rainy morning to see how a mountain family lived here before the ski lifts came.
-
Martuljek Falls
Pick this walk on a hot day: the gorge stays cool and shaded all the way to the lower fall.
-
Peričnik Falls
Wear shoes with grip: the path runs behind the water and the rock stays wet all summer.
-
Planica
Ride the zip line down beside the giant flying hill: it is the closest you will get to the view the ski jumpers have.
-
Russian Chapel
Pull in at hairpin eight, about six kilometres up from the village, and walk a few minutes up through the trees.
-
Slemenova špica
Take the summer bus to the top of the Vršič road and walk from the bus stop. Pack a picnic for the meadow facing Jalovec.
-
Slovenian Alpine Museum
Come here before you drive up the Vrata Valley: Slovenia's only mountaineering museum shows what the high peaks mean to the country, with authentic climbing gear, a virtual walk up Triglav and a mountain storm you can hear and feel.

Tamar Valley
Take this one if you want the big walls of the Julian Alps without a hard climb: the track climbs only gently all the way.
-
Vršič Pass
Take the first bus or drive up early on a summer morning, before the hairpins fill with cyclists, and get off at the Russian Chapel on the way.
