Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi
We are a family of 4 who are novice/intermediate skiers. We arrive in Kranska Gora on Monday 20th Dec 2021 for a week. Currently only 3 lifts are open which service a small area with a few blue slopes. We will get bored of these slopes after 2 days. What should we do? Is it likely that more lifts & slopes will open by 20th Dec? Does this usually happen? We are realising all the blue slopes at KG are quite short and possibly bit boring? Should we book 5 days in KG and 5 days somewhere else? We have 10 days in Slovenia. We are looking at Cerkno but its not open yet, will all slopes and lifts be open when resort opens on 17th Dec? We don't know much about how ski resorts function or what is normal, or how things happen in Slovenia. Thanks for advice.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Welcome to SHs, @tan8856. Can't help with KG in particular but many small resorts - indeed most small resorts, including some which are COVERED in snow at the moment, won't have much open this week. Someone who knows the area will be along soon.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Awkward situation for you - I imagine that all lifts would be open for the Holiday though
====edit====
Just to add -- webcams showing a good snow coverage, so closed lifts are not due to that..

@tan8856, welcome. Email to the tourist office might get a sensible response on projected opening.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I did ask for you using the chat box on their website and got this response. Not sure it really helps.

yes. Unfotunately is most of the ski lifts closed down. Only 3 are operating at the moment. But during the weekend will probably operate more of them. |
An email to the tourist office will probably get a more detailed response.

" Only 3 are operating at the moment. But during the weekend will probably operate more of them."
I think your answer is there, especially if snow is showing on webcams. At the moment I would say it is operating as a weekend place for locals from Ljubliana etc.
Great place, especially as lifts start direct from the town with cafes, restaurants etc. right at bottom of pistes, has a really friendly atmosphere in my opinion.
Worth a trip up to the ski jumps at Planica, frighteningly big and often there are people practicing for you to watch.

Thank you. This may seem like a silly question but I assume to ski the blue trails next to Zelenci we have to drive to the area and park? Are there shuttle buses? Do the ski instructors provide transport? Is there lots of parking & is it free?
& is it easy to drive to Planica & park?

When I was there a long time ago the tour operator put on a coach to arnoldstein in Austria one day. Unfortunately the coach was cancelled (too much snow!). looking at google maps it takes about 26 minutes, could be an option if you have a car, and suitable covid status.

I see that there are 8 out of 12 lifts open today (ignoring the two kids magic carpets) which looks promising.
