Velika Planina is probably one of the top 5 rides of 2019. and it is the site of few European surviving high mountain herdsmen’s villages where traditional Alpines culture still lives.

During all year, Velika Planina is accesible by aerial cable car, the bottom cable car station is located in Kamniška Bistrica, next to the Kamp Alpe campsite (here we parked our car, plenty of parking space, and from here we started our route).
