Location and activities
Elipa House is in a wonderful secluded position with no immediate neighbours on the edge of a small area of holiday chalets in Apno village circa 700m above sea level with superb open 180 degree views of the Ljubljana valley and the Skofja Loka mountains. The house is in very easy reach (10 minutes drive down to gondola or 10 minutes up to upper car park) of great skiing at Krvavec which is arguably Slovenia’s best all round ski area with a good range of skiing for all abilities, decent lift infrastructure and a long season thanks to artificial snow making and reasonably high altitude (1971m).
The area also offers a wide range of outdoor activities in Summer including paragliding, mountain biking and great mountain walking (Krvavec is crisscrossed with many different mountain trails to suit all abilities. It is also a start point for treks to the top of Grintovec, the highest mountain in the Kamniske Savinjske Alps at 2558m2 and various other peaks and multi day treks). There is also a popular Summer adventure park at Krvavec with high ropes course, go-karting and lift assisted mountain biking on marked biking trails. Many walking and biking trails also lead direct from the village up and down the mountain.
From the tranquil and pristine mountain setting you would never guess that it was only 15 minutes drive to Ljubljana airport making it a fantastically accessible Slovenia chalet. The chalet is also very well positioned for exploring some of Slovenia’s most beautiful sights – Ljubljana, Lake Bled, Skofja Loka, Kamnik & Velika Planina are all within cca 30 mins drive and make fantastic day trips. Most local facilities are located in the pretty town of Cerklje 10 minutes drive from the chalet on the valley floor. Facilities include supermarket, bakery, butcher, petrol station, bank, pharmacy and a variety of excellent pizzerias and restaurants. There is also a good local restaurant with fantastic views within 5 minutes drive further up the mountain and further options at the resort of Krvavec itself at the top of the mountain.
