Ljubljana to Kranjska Gora route listed as one of the most beautiful winter routes

The Alps are one of the largest and highest mountain ranges in Europe, stretching across eight countries and offering views of unspoilt natural beauty. And what season is better suited to enjoying snow-capped peaks than winter? Driving through the stunning winter scenery of the Alps seems like a scene from a holiday card, and this is especially true if you explore them by road.

Although winter driving through the Alps can be challenging, it also comes with a great reward – breath-taking views from all sides.

The route from Ljubljana to Kranjska Gora is included in Big 7 Travel’s list of the most beautiful winter routes overlooking the snow-covered Alps. The 124-kilometre route leads from the country’s capital, past the picturesque Lake Bled, to the charming village of Kranjska Gora in the Julian Alps.

List of the best winter excursions in the Alps:

  1. Lukmanier Pass in Switzerland
  2. Giau Pass in Italy
  3. From Montreux (Switzerland) to Chamonix (France)
  4. From Bregenz to Arlberg in Austria
  5. Falzarego Pass in Italy
  6. From Saragans (Switzerland) to Malbun (Liechtenstein)
  7. From Ljubljana to Kranjska Gora in Slovenia

Kranjska Gora, at number 7 in the ranking, is described as a picturesque destination close to the Austrian and Italian borders, but also a great starting point for visiting several countries in one day. The Big 7 Travel portal describes the scene on arrival in Kranjska Gora as “from a Christmas card – the gentle smoke from the chimneys of the houses dotted around the town, the roar of logs and the friendly faces in the many locals and restaurants in the town”.
