Today, the Vitranc Cup is one of the largest, best organized and most visited traditional sports events in Slovenia and in the central part of Europe. The first skiers competed in the Vitranc Cup for the first time in 1961, and since 1968 the Vitranc Cup has been part of the FIS International Alpine Skiing World Cup. In 60 years of history, the furrow of the organization of major sporting events has been plowed, the organization has grown, and experience and knowledge have been accumulated and passed down from generation to generation. It is this tradition in the minds of the inhabitants of Kranjska Gora and the surrounding villages that gives their volunteer work a special charm and enthusiasm that makes the Kranjska Gora World Cup match probably one of the most authentic. That is why the Vitranc Cup is firmly anchored in the calendar of the International Ski Federation in the future as well.
In the 2020/2021 season, the competition for the Vitranc Cup will record its 60th performance. For two days, the best giant slalom skiers and slalom skiers will measure their strength on the slope in Podkoren and fight for the best places. The competition will be enriched by a varied accompanying program both at the competition venue and in the very center of Kranjska Gora, starting on Friday afternoon with a memorial match in memory of the tragically deceased Slovenian skier Drago Grubelnik. After the giant slalom race on Saturday night, visitors to Kranjska Gora can have fun at the “QMax Party” during the Vitranc Cup.
The Vitranc Cup is not just a sport and entertainment. This is an excellent starting point for socializing businessmen at the local, regional, national and international level, which can only be provided by Kranjska Gora with its location on the sunny side of the Alps, where history has drawn borders between three nations. looking for synergies. Athletes all together are an inspiration for the fighting spirit, perseverance and discipline that are absolutely necessary for any area of our lives.
The Vitranc Cup in March 2021 will be exciting and, as every year, represents the peak of winter!
