Krvavec, Ski resort in Cerklje na Gorenjskem, Slovenia

Krvavec is a ski resort near Ljubljana with slopes at altitudes ranging from about 1450 to 2000 meters. The terrain offers runs for beginners, intermediate skiers, and experienced visitors.

The first lift opened on 2 August 1958, built by the Žičnica Ljubljana factory and used for 15 years. A consortium formed in 1973 brought the Poma gondola known as "eggs" and new chairlifts, and the resort reached its present top elevation of 1971 m in 1983 with the Zvoh doublechair. A Garaventa gondola replaced the old one in 1999, linking mountain and valley.

The name Krvavec comes from Mount Krvavec (1853 m), which rises above the slopes; the resort's terrain runs from about 1450 m up to Zvoh at 1971 m. A transmitter of the Slovenian public broadcaster stands on the Krvavec summit. Since 2012 the Summer Park has offered hiking, mountain biking, an adventure climbing park, archery and mountain scooters outside the ski season.

The area sits less than half an hour from Ljubljana and is also well reachable from the airport. There is ample parking and equipment rental on site to make your visit straightforward.

Krvavec lies 10 km from Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport, making it the closest ski resort to an international airport in Europe. The resort covers 94 hectares, with 30 km of pistes and snowmaking on 95% of them.
