Cross-country skiing

The picturesque landscape and well-arranged cross-country skiing trails invite you with a pleasant and inspiring recreation.

Cross-country skiing tracks

Cross-country skiing is one of the nicest and most environmentally friendly forms of recreation. The sport is experiencing a rebirth throughout Europe, and makes up an important part of tourist activities in the Bled area. Flat or slightly inclined courses are simply ideal and when there is adequate snow, trails are prepared on the close outskirts of Bled connecting the surrounding villages.

The best cross-country skiing terrain for visitors is the plateau Pokljuka. Bled winter shuttle is on hand to provide transport there and back. Trails run through quiet woods and through expansive mountain graying-lands. The network of cross-country skiing trails on Pokljuka is shown on several information boards. It is possible to rent equipment and join a cross-country ski school, run by trained instructors and former active cross-country skiers.

 

 

Rudno polje offers its visitors almost 6 km of cross-country skiing tracks. In good snowing conditions a track is available on mount Konjšica (6 km in both directions) and circular paths to the barracks (3 and 5 km, occasionally even 10 km). The path toward mount Javornik (1.5 km in one direction) and the most beautiful part of the Pokljuka tracks on mount Javornik (3 km lap) are also being developed. In the best weather conditions the paths from mount Javornik to mount Kranjska dolina and toward Mrzli Studenec and also to the settlement of Goreljek are also available.
