Kranjska Gora, October 7, 2026 – The 66th edition of the Vitranc Cup continues the long tradition of international ski competitions in Kranjska Gora, and this year’s event will also mark the 40th anniversary of Bojan Križaj’s slalom victory and Rok Petrovič’s second-place finish. Once again this ski season, the world’s best—Žan Kranjec, Marco Odermatt, Lucas Pinheiro Braathen, Loic Meillard, Marco Schwarz, Henrik Kristoffersen, and other alpine skiers—will take on the Podkoren slope in the giant slalom and slalom events.
The upcoming Vitranc Cup is themed “A Classic with an Edge,” highlighting the competition’s long-standing tradition and the great sporting challenge posed by the Podkoren slope, whose difficulty is recognized by the world’s best skiers. Adrenaline, excitement, and genuine joy will be felt along the course and in the finish area, where thousands of fans will welcome Slovenian and international winter sports heroes every day.
New Schedule for the Best Start to 2027
The races for the 66th Vitranc Cup will take place this season on the first weekend of the new year, January 2 and 3, 2027. This will add to the festive atmosphere of the idyllic town of Kranjska Gora, as the organizers are planning a rich supporting program that will move from the venue to the town after the races.
