Cross-Border Ski Slopes Make Decades-Long Dream Come True

Kanin’s Ski Slopes.

The highest-lying Slovenian ski slopes of Kanin, and of Sella Nevea on the Italian side of the border have merged into one ski resort boasting more than 30 kilometers of ski trails.

The aerial lift linking the two resorts opened already before Christmas holidays, but was inaugurated at last Tuesday’s ceremony by four former top athletes from Slovenia, Italy, and Austria. 

“The slopes on our, sunnier side of the Alps will best suit nonprofessionals, while the runs on the Italian side will cater also to more demanding skiers. A single link got us a single resort for all types of skiers,” said former Slovenian champion skier Jure Košir.
