Top Local Tips for Kranjska Gora

EHIC card I would suggest applying for one of these from the Post Office - if you need to visit the doctor in Kranjska Gora, if you have this card, the appointment (and I think treatment) is free.

Ski passes from travel agents The reps wouldn't refund vouchers for ski passes bought in the UK without a total closure and even then their transport to other resorts are not a sensible option. You will never get them to admit piste closure if they have anything open of any standard. You are gambling on the weather. Buy your ski passes and ski hire locally once you have checked out what conditions are like on slopes that suit you.

Skiing away from the main slopes If there is natural snow, visit the Podkeron 2 slopes (no snow cannons). These are four blues runs with a bit of red. They are long and wide and add variety, especially when you have been on the main Kranjska Gora slopes for two or three days. They have all the facilities, but are not as croweded. Theyare located around the other side of the mountain, past the World Cup slopes. And this presents the problem access. If your an intermediate skier you will be able to negotiate the challenging red runs to get there and back, between Kranjska Gora and Podkeron 2. If your not then don't be put off. At current prices 10 Eur will get you a mini bus (carry 5/6 people and kit) from Kranjska Gora to Podkeron 2. This can be booked through the hotel or direct with the taxi company (Speak good english). Suggest you book a day in advance. Allow at least couple of hours to enjoy the runs between drop off and pick up. Well worth the effort for learner and improver.
