Kanin
A limestone high mountain behind Bovec, home to Slovenia's highest ski resort and linked to Italy's Sella Nevea.
The highest peak of the Kanin range is about 2,587 metres and straddles Slovenia and Italy. At altitude it is covered by vast karst limestone plateaus. Kanin Ski Resort is Slovenia's highest, and it connects with the Sella Nevea resort on the Italian side, allowing cross-border skiing. In summer you can take the cable car up to hike and enjoy panoramic views of the Julian Alps and the Adriatic Sea. The Bovec-side cable car has been suspended and under repair several times in recent years, so check the official website before setting out. You can also take a cable car up from Sella Nevea in Italy.
