RTC Krvavec does not publish per-run lengths, so every length is left empty; the 30 km figure is the operator's resort total, not the sum of this table. The operator publishes no per-run sector, so every row carries the single label Krvavec. Numbers and names are copied from the live list, including its two entries named Smučarska proga (14 black, 20 red) and the snow park listed with number 10. The ski map also shows runs 15 and 15a, which do not appear in the live list and are not added. Two entries are marked freeride, one of them ungroomed ('neteptana'). The breakdown counts the 23 pistes and excludes the two park rows.

Krvavec pistes: Tiha dolina, Zvoh, Njivice and Kržišče

The operator lists 25 numbered trails and 13 lifts on its live page. The core of the area is the bowl above Gospinca (the gondola top station) and Tiha dolina, where the Tiha dolina four-seat chair, the Vrh Krvavca six-seat chair and the Njivice chairs fan out to the ridge. The Zvoh six-seat chair reaches the highest point at 1971 m, and run 13 Zvoh comes back down from there.

Most named runs are red. The blues include run 10 from Vrh Krvavca via Gradišče to Tiha dolina, run 9 from Dom to Kriška planina and run 21 Kržišče A, while the blacks are Njivice 1 and 2, run 14 and the freeride descent from Dom to Gospinca. Across the Kriška planina chair, the Kržišče drag lifts serve a separate pair of runs, one blue and one red.

Lengths per run are not published, so plan by number, colour and lift rather than by distance. Check the live list on the day: it shows which of the 25 trails and 13 lifts are actually open.

Krvavec for beginners: the Gospinca polygon and the Luža lift

First-timers start right next to the gondola top station. The operator describes the Gospinca beginners' polygon as the playground for first turns, served by a conveyor belt, with the children's drag lift Luža and run 2, Luža za začetnike, alongside it.

The official ski school (Krvavec Intersport Snow Sports School, run by Jecom Sport) has its wooden hut at Gospinca, near the Tiha dolina chair, and rental is nearby. After the polygon, the blue runs 7 (Otroška) and 10 are the next steps on the official list, but ask the instructor which one is groomed and open that day.

Getting to Krvavec: Ljubljana airport, Cerklje and the gondola

Krvavec says it is the European ski resort nearest an international airport: Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport at Brnik is 8 km away. Ljubljana is 25 km, Kranj 17 km and Bled 35 km. Flying elsewhere means a longer road transfer, so compare the full door-to-door time, not only the fare.

The road climbs from Cerklje na Gorenjskem through the villages of Dvorje and Grad to the lower station of the gondola, where the operator provides 500 free parking spaces. There is no road access for day skiers to the slopes; the gondola takes you up to Gospinca at 1477 m, and hotel guests are driven from the top station to Hotel Krvavec.

We could not confirm a 2026–27 ski-bus timetable from Ljubljana. If you are not driving, ask the operator or your accommodation about current buses or a taxi to the valley station before you book.

Family skiing on Krvavec: lessons, childcare and kids' lifts

The family set-up is concentrated at Gospinca: the beginners' polygon, conveyor belts at Gospinca and Kriška planina, the Luža children's lift and the ski school hut are all near the gondola top station. Children under 6 ski free with a pass-holding parent; children aged 6–14 need a child pass.

Jecom Sport offers private and group lessons for children and adults, childcare from age 3 and kindergarten ski weeks for ages 4–6. The published ski school price list dates from 2024, so confirm 2026–27 prices and teaching languages directly. For a non-skiing parent, the hotel terrace and the Plaža après-ski bar are by the slopes, and the gondola works for return trips.

Where to stay for Krvavec: on the mountain, in Cerklje or in Ljubljana

On the mountain there are two operator-run options: Hotel Krvavec, which sits on the slope (the operator calls it Slovenia's highest-located hotel), and the Muštrinka apartment house (5 units, up to 16 people). You are on the snow first thing, but evenings are quiet and the gondola is the only way down. Hotel Krvavec's 2026–27 price list starts at €80 per person for bed and breakfast (1–24 December 2026), including the gondola and the transfer from the top station.

Cerklje na Gorenjskem and the villages below are a short drive to the valley-station car park. This suits families who want a kitchen, lower prices or easy day trips, but you depend on a car or a taxi each morning.

Ljubljana (25 km) gives you the city, restaurants and rail links, at the cost of a daily drive. It works well for a short ski break added to a city trip. The search below starts in Cerklje; change it to Ljubljana or the mountain hotel if you prefer.

Best time to ski Krvavec: snow history, season dates and forecasts

February and the first half of March are Krvavec's most reliable snow window. In a SkiPair calculation from ARSO's daily records at the Krvavec station (1742 m) for 1991–2020, the average snow depth was about 76 cm in February and 81 cm in March, compared with 50 cm in January and 31 cm in December. February also had the most new snow, about 77 cm a month on average. January is a good shoulder month. December depends on early storms and snowmaking, and by April the average falls to about 38 cm. Averages are not a forecast for any single season.

The operator says the season usually runs from early December to the end of March, with natural and artificial snow on slopes between 1450 and 1971 m. Season-pass holders get a guarantee of at least 100 operating days.

Before a trip, check the live page for open lifts and trails, the snow depth and the webcams, and look at the mountain forecast for wind and fog: the operator warns that lifts may stop in bad weather. Night skiing is not part of the operator's offer; its evening activity is floodlit night sledding on Fridays and Saturdays, so check the dates.

Find ski partners for Krvavec: day trips and short breaks

Krvavec is easy to reach from Ljubljana and the airport, so many people come for a day or a long weekend. On SkiPair, post your dates, your level and whether you are driving from Ljubljana or staying on the mountain, so others can share a car to the valley station.

Agree on a meeting point that everyone can find, such as the gondola top station at Gospinca or the Tiha dolina chair, and choose runs by number from the official list. Solo skiers can match with others for the reds around Tiha dolina, or with a group for the blacks on Njivice.
