Cerkno is the most modern, safest and easiest-to-use ski resort in Slovenia. This is confirmed by all the skiers who return year after year to enjoy incredible skiing moments here.

The Alpska perla alpine hut at the top of the resort is a particular highlight, where you can relax, enjoy culinary delicacies and have fun during or after skiing. Excellent pistes, the most modern and safest ski lifts, and a high-quality range of additional services, led by the Alpska perla alpine restaurant at the top of the ski centre, are the main reasons why Cerkno was named Slovenia's best ski resort in the 2010/11, 2011/12, 2012/13, 2016/17, 2017/18 and 2018/19 seasons.

Children can spend time in the warm nursery with their parents, playing, drawing, watching television and doing many other interesting things that will make your ski holiday unforgettable. Cerkno ski centre, with its ski school, is synonymous with ski instruction both locally and further afield.
