Skiing resort of Katschi
The resort itself is fairly small, although there are links to a couple of other ski areas. There were very few English people there even in what was peak season, the skiiers were mostly natives and Italians (it is of course very close to Italy as well as Slovenia), and whilst that was fine by us, it might put some people off who would like to hold all their conversations in English! In terms of the slopes, there is not a great deal on offer for beginners, with the majority of the runs being red rather than blue, with a few fearsome looking blacks as well! However there was enough to keep our relatively inexperienced kids busy for the days which we were here in Katschi.
