WINTER ACTIVITIES ON KRVAVEC
Krvavec is the nearest ski resort to Ljubljana (25km away) and Kranj (17km away), and also a pleasant mountain trekking point. Krvavec is the top mountain of the Kalško ridge, which is linked to the main axis of the Kamnik Alps. What was formerly a glacier has shaped around the slope of Krvavec, so over time the sparse trees and dwarf pine have been cut and Alpine meadows have been created around the mountain peak. The peaks main identification point is the RTV Slovenia iron concrete transmission tower, which in the eighties replaced the metal tower, which had been built into the hillside in 1955.
Since Krvavec is a higher level above the sea, its pastures were transformed into ski slopes. The renewed cable car (with panoramic cars for 6 people) carries up to 2000 people every hour to the central mountain ski resort at the passage of the Kamnik Alps. There are approximately 106 hectares of ski area available to visitors between the upper cable car station at Gospinec (1450m) and the highest point of the ski slopes at Zvoh (1971 m). In the lower part of Krvavec on the Kriška planina, there is also a 5 km long track specially set aside for walking and cross country skiing. This means over 30 km of ordered ski tracks.
Sport centre Krvavec also offers rental of ski equipment and clothing and quick equipment servicing.
