Multinational Centre of Excellence for Mountain Warfare, Military education center in Bohinjska Bela, Slovenia

The Multinational Centre of Excellence for Mountain Warfare is a NATO-accredited centre at Poljče 27 in Begunje na Gorenjskem, housed in the former Slovenian Military Mountain School founded in 1996. It is organised into four branches: Doctrine and Standardization, Training and Education, Lessons Learned, and Concept Development, Experimentation and Lessons Learned. Its staff write doctrine, run courses and experiments, and answer Requests for Support from NATO entities and participating nations.

The centre grew out of the Slovenian Military Mountain School, formed in 1996; in 2004 that school was chosen as the site of a future centre of excellence. On 15 November 2011 Slovenia, as framework nation, signed a cooperation agreement with Austria, Hungary and Italy as participating nations, making the centre a multinational resource. Full accreditation as a NATO Centre of Excellence followed in 2015.

The centre's name is rendered in Slovene as Večnacionalni center odličnosti za gorsko bojevanje, and its work is set out in an annual Programme of Work of projects and activities requested by NATO entities or participating nations. Slovenia joined as framework nation with Austria, Hungary and Italy as participating nations; Germany, Turkey, Canada and Croatia have planned to apply for membership.

The centre is a military facility at Poljče 27 in Begunje na Gorenjskem, not an open visitor site, so access is arranged through NATO or participating nations rather than by the public. Its work is set by an annual Programme of Work of projects and activities, with support usually requested by a NATO entity or a participating country.

The center uses the natural mountain environment around it for realistic military training in snow and ice conditions. This setting allows soldiers to experience genuine alpine challenges during their preparation.
