Perched high above the town of Bovec and the picturesque Soca valley, Kanin is the highest ski resort in Slovenia offering skiing at an elevation between 1,140 and 2,300 meters. It can be accessed by a cable car, which runs from Bovec’s southern outskirts. In 2009 it was connected to the Sella Nevea ski centre on the Italian side by a modern cable-car lift, making it Slovenia’s only cross-border resort. The resort has a total of 30 kilometres of ski slopes for all levels, from complete beginners to advanced skiers and snowboarders. It’s known for having the longest ski season in Slovenia, which can last from late November until early May.
Also included on the list are the following European ski resorts: Riksgränsen (Sweden), Romsdalen (Norway), Le Mont-Dore (France), Vals (Switzerland), Val di Solda, (Italy), Jasná (Slovakia).
