WINTER STORY


Winter in Gorski Kotar tells a special story. It is a long story of a freshly fallen shroud of snow covering the woods, filled with children’s playfulness and the warmth of home hearts. It is a story of a long tradition of skiing and ski competition. The inhabitants of Gorski Kotar know how to deal with snow enchantment. Snow sports started as early as in 1912 when the first skiers arrived in Mrkopalj region, and only a year later the first ski course was organised. In 1914 the first ski championship was held. There are several hotels, numerous apartments and cottages that offer shorter or longer stay for the whole families and organised groups. The vicinity of coastline destinations, hot seawater swimming pools and other openings are ideal combination for recreational holiday.
