2024Alpine Skiing in Slovenia - Sheetlets

“Anyone who doesn’t ski isn’t a Slovene!” is a saying that could recently be heard all across the country on the sunny side of the Alps, where skiing has long been a part of life, as evidenced by the description of skiers from the Bloke plateau traversing snow-covered slopes that can be found in Johann Weikhard Valvasor’s 1689 work The Glory of the Duchy of Carniola. Slovenia has a skiing tradition dating back more than 300 years – making it one of the longest in Europe.
