The Nordic Centre Planica, set beneath the dramatic peaks of the Ponce Mountains in northwestern Slovenia, is a world-class destination for sports enthusiasts and curious travelers alike. Renowned for its record-breaking ski jumping hills—including the world’s largest—Planica is the beating heart of Slovenia’s winter sports tradition and a hub of innovation and excitement year-round.

Visitors can experience the thrill of flight on the famous ski jumping hill, whether by watching elite athletes soar during the FIS Ski Flying World Championships and World Cup Finals or by trying the exhilarating zipline that follows the same path as the jumpers. The centre also features a unique wind tunnel, where guests of all ages can feel the sensation of flying, and an underground ski tunnel, allowing for cross-country skiing even in the off-season.

Planica is more than just a venue for major sporting events; it’s a vibrant recreation center offering activities for everyone. Professional training programs, guided tours, and interactive exhibits in the Planica Museum provide insight into the history and science of Nordic sports. The nearby hotel ensures comfort and relaxation for athletes and visitors, making it easy to extend your stay.

Open throughout the year, the Nordic Centre Planica is a must-visit for anyone interested in sports, adventure, or simply enjoying the breathtaking alpine scenery that has made Planica a legend in the world of winter sports.
