Planica Nordic Centre
Nordijski center Planica
One of the world's largest ski jumping venues, where flying-hill world records have been set many times. Visitors can ride a cable car to the top of the jump and whiz back down on a zipline.
Planica is a valley west of Kranjska Gora. Its giant "flying hill" has produced several world records, and the season-ending ski jumping World Cup finals here draw tens of thousands of spectators every late March. The Nordic Centre is open to visitors, who can take a cable car or hike up to the top of the jump. Activities include a wind tunnel simulation and what is claimed to be the world's steepest zipline, which runs alongside the jump. There are also cross-country ski trails and an exhibition hall. Hiking on from the valley floor brings you to the Tamar mountain hut. Planica is about 45 km from Bled.
