Kanin Cable Car

Bovec


This cable car whisks you up to the Bovec Kanin Ski Centre in a number of stages. It's most often used as an access for winter skiing or summer activities, but it's equally rewarding for sightseers – the views from the top station and en route are sweepingly beautiful. In summer, in particular, the last departure heading up the mountain can be as early as 2pm, so it's usually best to visit in the morning.
