Kranjska Gora 2026 – The power of women, unstoppable fun
At the beginning of the new year, Kranjska Gora will once again become the heart of Alpine skiing. On January 3 and 4, 2026, the world’s best female skiers will compete in giant slalom and slalom on the famous Podkoren slope, combining top-level sport, fan energy, and a true winter experience.
Podkoren is considered one of the most demanding slopes in the World Cup. The dynamic terrain, hard snow surface, and technically demanding configuration ensure that only the most courageous and precise skiers succeed on it. Each run is a story of strength, perseverance, and boldness—the very essence of the “The Power of Women. Unstoppable Fun” campaign.
But Kranjska Gora is not just about sports. It is a place where competitive passion and fan enthusiasm intertwine. The finish area has a real skiing atmosphere: music, DJs, entertainment for children, excellent cuisine, and lots of smiling faces. From the children’s corner to the VIP area, every visitor can find their own way to experience the winter vibe of Podkoren.
Kranjska Gora is more than just a sporting event
It is a celebration of skiing, socializing, and national pride. With their successes, Slovenian skiers have proven that great stories are written on home turf and that the support of home fans provides the decisive energy that lifts even the best.
This year, Kranjska Gora will once again be the place where the world’s best female skiers, passionate fans, and the magic of winter come together. Join us, experience the spectacle live, and help create an incredible atmosphere along the Podkoren slope!
