The best known Slovenijan Resort, located within six kilometres (four miles) of both Austrian and Italian borders, Kranjska Gora offers high value holidays in the beautiful scenery of the Julian Alps. The town is both the municipal centre and the largest town in the Zgornjesavska valley, one of the most breathtaking alpine valleys. The valley has developed into a major tourist and sports region, famed primarily for its World Cup competitions in Alpine skiing and ski flights on the giant ski-jump in Planica. Accommodation is centred on large, high calibre, modern, comfortable hotels often slopeside and with good facilities. Families are especially well catered for with easy to intermediate ski slopes the most common; a good choice of family friendly, high-value places to eat and a good choice of off-slope facilities the whole famnily can enjoy - such as toboganning or indoor swimming pools.
Ljubljana–Ratece–Tarvisio railway line was opened and between the two World Wars, this contributed to the development of tourism and mountaineering, then continued to have a positive affect on the valley's economy.
