Travelling with skis or snowboard equipment?
For winter journeys, tell us about large luggage before booking.
Skis, snowboards, large suitcases and several passengers can change which vehicle is required.
A normal car may be enough for a small group, while larger equipment can require an estate car or van.
Passengers fit in many cars. Passengers plus four suitcases and three snowboards are a different mathematical problem. 😄
Which option is best?
- Cheapest: bus
- Rail alternative: train to Jesenice + road connection
- Most flexible: rental car
- Most direct: private transfer
For one traveller with a backpack, the bus can make excellent sense.
For families, groups, ski equipment or direct hotel-to-hotel travel, a private vehicle becomes much more convenient.
There is no prize for changing buses with ski boots in your hand. 😄
