KANIN-SELLA NEVEA SKI RESORT
The connected ski resort KANIN-SELLA NEVEA ( Bovec, Slovenia) is the first cross-border ski center in the wider European region. With its new cableway and piste, the two ski resorts have become one. The connected KANIN-CANIN ski resort is operating with a single ski pass, enabling access from both the Slovenian (Bovec) and Italian (Sella Nevea) sides of the mountain. There is no higher ski resort in the area, nor is there one with such a long skiing season – until the beginning of May.
