Depart for Valbruna
After breakfast, depart for Valbruna (~ 30 minutes) to ski the Saisera Trails. These trails are a popular early-season training ground for the Italian National Team, given snowmaking and shadows that keep the trails protected.
After your ski, enjoy a relaxing lunch in town before continuing on to Monte Lussari. Buon appetito!
Visit Monte Lussari
Travel by cable car up to Monte Lussari, a picturesque alpine ski area and pedestrian village nestled at the top of the mountain. This is the same mountain where you watched the races on Sunday. Spend time exploring the village, snapping a few photos and perhaps even grab a drink in one of the cafes.
If you'd like to spend some time alpine skiing during your trip, this afternoon is a good day to rent equipment and pick up a ski pass for a few runs at Monte Lussari.
This afternoon, kick back and relax at your hotel or take a stroll around the village of Rateče before dinner.
Dinner in Rateče
Walk to dinner in Rateče for a traditional Slovenian meal. Your host Borut can share ideas for restaurants in Ratece and help make reservations, if needed.
Driving Map to Valbruna / Saisera Hut
Park at the Saisera Hut and start your walk or ski from there. If it’s open, the Saisera Hut is a great lunch stop after your ski. Or stop in the Valbruna Inn in Valbruna after your ski. They don’t serve lunch, but they’ll have recommendations for lunch in Valbruna. Or perhaps you could even get a coffee. This is where the Lumi group stayed for the 2023 Planica World Championships.
