Skiing Three Countries in One Day

by Iva Skoch (RSS feed) on Nov 25th 2006 at 9:20AM

Should you ever feel the need to impress your friends with the number of places you have skied in your life (and not go bankrupt as a result of it) head over to Slovenia. If you settle in the town of Bovec, home of Kanin, the highest ski center in the Slovenian Alps, you can venture out to nearby ski resorts in the neighboring countries: Sella Nevea and Tarvisio in Italy, and at the Arnoldstein in Austria. If you get the 7-day pass, you get two free coupons for skiing in Italy and Austria. The altitude stretches above 2000 meters (6000 feet) and a day pass will set you back less than $20.

Of course, you can ski three countries in one day in Chamonix if you are lucky, too, but it is a lot more expensive (closer to $50/day) and a lot more pretentious.

What is the nearest big city to fly into from North America, and what are overnight costs, meal costs, etc.

The best city to fly into is Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia (cute town; it's worth it to spend a couple of days here). Accommodation prices depend on the level of service, of course, but you can get a decent place for two for $70. Food is about US prices.

There were four of us traveling, to Italy,(all women) we flew from Dulles International, just outside of Washington, D.C., to Milan, via, Al Italia, and as much as I have traveled in my lifetime, (which is quite a bit) I have only seen one country as beautiful as Italy. THat was driving from Vancouver, Canada, to Lake Louise, and Banff. We flew from Milan to Florence, got our hotel rooms, slept, and started our sightseeing the next day. In the time we spent in Italy, we saw Pisa, (seems to be getting to commercialized)spent a lot of time in Florence, then, on to the Eternal City, Rome, and the Vatican. Once we reached Rome, I felt like I was in heaven. I found it to be the most Spiritual city, I've ever been in. I was able to pray in St. Peter's, and felt as though my Savior was right there beside me, praying with me. Some day, I want to return to Rome, and spend much more time there, than I was able to this time. God Bless Italy, her people, and most of all, the Vatican, and Rome.
