Dear Colleagues and Friends,
It is our great pleasure to invite you to the 6th Scientific Conference SPE Balkan SKI, which this time will take place in Kranjska Gora, one of the ski centers with the longest tradition in the region. The resort, set between 810 and 1,295 meters above sea level, offers slopes of varying difficulty and hotels located directly beside the pistes.
On the renowned FIS course, the Vitranc Cup—a classic stop on the Alpine Skiing World Cup—will be held just before our event, welcoming the very top of the alpine skiing elite. Immediately afterward, in March 2026, Kranjska Gora will also host leading ski instructors from around the world to exchange knowledge, review the latest scientific findings and best practices, and participate in an international gathering of demo team representatives. For many, this will serve as the final training and Demo Show ahead of the Interski meeting in Vail.
Our motto is to make every congress better—continually updating and advancing in all aspects in line with the vision, mission, and goals of SPE Balkan SKI. By building a network of excellence that brings together ski instructors, coaches, scientists, and other experts from around the world, we aim to share with you the unique charm of Balkan ski resorts. With fresh energy in a new setting, we are confident we will deliver an unforgettable event.
We warmly invite you to participate in the SPE Balkan SKI Conference, to be held March 8–12, 2026, at Ski Center Kranjska Gora, Slovenia.
