Catskiing and Heliskiing in Slovenia: Top Outdoor Adventures Awaiting You

Slovenia lies in the south of Central Europe, where it is placed at the meeting point of many of the main European cultural and trading routes. The mostly mountainous country, with the Julian Alps to the north, and over half of its surface blanketed in forest, also has an elaborate cave system, with over 10,000 across the country. In the winter, thick carpets of snow are rolled out across the mountainside, forming ideal terrain for skiing.

Spectacular terrain

In the depths of the wintry months, the snow gathers on the Slovenian mountains that form thick blankets of thrilling runs. And once we hitch a ride on a helicopter up to the high points on the mountains, we’ll be surrounded by ungroomed and untouched slopes just waiting for us to be explore, far away from any crowds that line the mountains.

Cultural melting pot

Bordering Austria to the north, Hungary to the east, Croatia to the south, and Italy to the west, the location of Slovenia has cultivated a special blending of culture. And territories of the country have been torn apart and shared among many previous empires and states, such as the Roman and Byzantine empires, the Republic of Venice and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Sustainable skiing

The wide variety of stunning landscapes are dispersed across the country, which spread out the steady streams of tourists. This means that Slovenia has avoided large-scale environmental pressures, contributing to the county’s title of having the world’s most sustainable tourism.

The winter months experience a large supply of snowfall, especially in the western regions of the country.
