IDYLLIC VALLEY
Planica is an idyllic valley, rich in snow and protected against the wind
by high mountains; an ideal place for training and competitions.
The rich heritage dating back to the 1934 helped us in creating the comprehensive design of the training centre, which ensures
the quality and quantity that comprise any training process.

SKI JUMPING
There are four segments of ski jumping hills on the slope under the Ponce mountain:
• child ski jumping hills HS 15m, HS 30m and HS 45m,
• youth ski jumping hills HS 65m and HS 85m,
• the Bloudek Giant HS 104m and HS 139m,
• the ski-flying hill of the Gorišek brothers HS 225m.
All the ski jumping hills are thoughtfully connected by the transport devices (the chairlift, the escalator and two inclined lifts), making all the ski jumping hills easily accessible.

CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING
40 km of courses at altitudes between 800 m and 900 m, spreading between Kranjska Gora, Rateče
and Tamar, with Planica in the centre, where there are 7 kilometres of approved courses that comply
with the requirements for the organisation of competitions at the highest level. A modern start-finish
venue, located on the roof of the central cross-country skiing facility, the proximity of the testing
grounds, changing rooms with accompanying programme enable the coach to archive all of the set
goals.
In summer there is a football field with artificial grass at the start-finish venue, and an underground
tunnel for cross-country skiing with an 800 metre-long course.
The 3 kilometre-long skateboarding track is located in the heart of Planica. In addition, there is a
25-kilometre bicycle road extending between Mojstrana and Rateče and continuing to Italy.

the place of well-being
If you want to learn about the history of ski flying and experience the sensations felt by the ski jumpers
while in the air, or if you want to feel the adrenaline rush, Planica is the place to visit.
Children should be encouraged to remain enthusiastic about sport. This is why we have prepared a
playground and didactic toys aimed to raise the children’s interest in Nordic sports.

Staying at the altitude of 6000 m
Just a few metres from the ski jumping hills and cross-country skiing courses there is a sports hotel,
which meets all the requirements of a top athlete for both well-being and fast regeneration.
The hotel with the gym and a place for the building of strength and a regeneration programme is an
excellent addition to the technical training.
The hotel has 10 rooms and a gym with hypoxic environment. Our scientists established that the best
method is: Sleep high – train low. Planica provides such conditions.
