Koroška in White

Beautiful in all seasons, magical in white. Koroška with well-maintained ski resorts, snow-covered hills and valleys heralds an active winter and invites you into nature. Ski resorts on the slopes of Pohorje, Peca and also in the valleys offer great enjoyment for experienced skiers and beginners, families and all who prefer to spend winter actively.  


If you prefer cross-country skiing, you can also find a suitable trail for yourself. Unique views and that indispensable excitement will also be experienced by ski touring enthusiasts. Winter experiences in Koroška are anything but winter hibernation.

Ski Resorts

At Kope, visitors are greeted by varied ski slopes, modern infrastructure, new chairlifts and a diverse winter offering for different generations of skiers. The ski center is also known for the longest night skiing in Slovenia, so winter experiences there last long after sunset. Ribniško Pohorje also offers pleasant skiing in a natural environment, while popular smaller ski resorts include Poseka at Ravne na Koroškem, Kotlje ski resort and Bukovnik, which are especially suitable for relaxed recreation, learning to ski and first ski turns. The winter atmosphere is complemented by the Črna na Koroškem ski resort, which with its snow-covered landscape and homely character offers pleasant winter experiences for visitors of all generations.

Cross-Country Skiing

The silence of nature and thousands of ice crystals sparkling on vast snowy surfaces will certainly calm even the busiest minds. Koroška is the right address for cross-country skiing enthusiasts as well. More than 30 kilometers of maintained trails are available.

Cross-Country Skiing

On the Pohorje plateaus between Kope and Ribniška koča, in Črna na Koroškem and in the nearby Bistra valley, in the Sports Park at Ravne na Koroškem, in Kotlje and the section of the cycling path through the Mislinja valley between Dovže, you will certainly find a trail suitable for you.

Cross-Country Skiing

At the nearby Breško jezero, on the neighboring Austrian side, at the foot of Peca, the cross-country trails are additionally snow-covered and enable skiing even when snow is not abundant.

Ski Touring

Climbing with skis to distant peaks is rewarded with unforgettable descents. While gliding down quiet slopes, you will trigger adrenaline despite the tranquility. With favorable weather conditions and sufficient snow, Koroška offers you excellent experiential wanderings across the Pohorje plateaus between Kope and Ribniško Pohorje, as well as more demanding tours and descents on the slopes of Peca, Raduha and Olševa. Peca in particular is interesting for ski tourers, especially for those who prefer descending to climbing, as from the Austrian side a cable car transport is available right below the mountain peak, to an elevation of 1,950 m.

King Matjaž's Castles

Do you know the legend of King Matjaž? King Matjaž under Peca has still not awakened. In his honor, snow castles have been built at Matevžavi travniki in Črna na Koroškem for more than a quarter of a century. On the last weekend in January, enthusiasts from near and far gather in Podpeca and compete in building snow castles. The central part of the event is the team competition in building snow castles from morning until sunset, followed by entertainment. The program the next day is intended for children and families. Even in the days after the event, there is considerable interest in viewing the built castles; how long the snow sculptures remain preserved depends on weather conditions. Join the numerous teams and build your own ice castle!

Winter Hiking

You can set out on shorter walks or full-day winter hikes across scenic peaks and valleys practically throughout all of Koroška. With a sufficient white blanket, exchange your shoes for snowshoes and embark on wanderings across the Pohorje plateaus, and for more demanding tours tackle the two-thousand-meter peaks Peca, Raduha or Olševa. For the latter, it is recommended to hire guidance from local mountain guides.
