The skiing on the slopes of Vitranc offers something for everyone from beginners to more experienced skiers and boarders. The difficulty of the ski runs varies from the very easy and suitable for children to the steep competition runs in Podkoren. To prolong the winter fun most slopes are additionally covered with artificial snow.

Ski lifts and runs are located all the way from Kranjska Gora right down to Planica from an altitude of 1215 to 800 metres above sea level. Ski runs are linked with a system of chairlifts and ski tows including the new Kekec chairlift.

Tougher skiing including the world cup slalom course are to be found on the Podkoren mountain.

Off piste skiing is also available ranging from a gentle downhill from the Karavanke summits to extreme skiing down the ridge of the Julian Alps accompanied by an experienced guide, a member of the Association of Slovenian Alpine Guides.

The possibilities for off piste depend to a large extent on the snow conditions and the danger of avalanches. The most interesting run is from the Karavanke summit of Dovska Baba, Bavhe and Vosca, while in the Julian Alps there is an excellent classic downhill from Mojstrovka, Kotovo sedlo and from under the face of the Kriska mountain.

In the winter season the Zgornjesavska valley is the venue of several important events. The world's top skiers and skijumpers gather to either compete against the clock – where every thousand of a second counts or to see which one can fly furthest at the Alpine Ski World Championships.
