## About Sella Nevea

Sella Nevea records some of the heaviest snowfall in Italy — the Julian Alps catch moisture coming up from the Adriatic and wring it out here — and it is linked by cable car with Kanin in Slovenia, the only cross-border ski area between the two countries.

The Slovenian side is high and treeless; the Italian side is sheltered and wooded. On one pass you get both.

## Where lessons start

Reliable snow and two very different aspects to choose from depending on the day — which is exactly the kind of local knowledge an instructor here is worth paying for.

## Getting there

Villach is around an hour, Ljubljana about an hour and a half, Venice around two and a half.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does the Sella Nevea pass cover Kanin in Slovenia?

Yes — Sella Nevea and Kanin above Bovec are linked by cable car and sold as one cross-border area, the only one between Italy and Slovenia. The two sides are very different: the Slovenian side is high and treeless, the Italian side sheltered and wooded, so which one to ski on a given day depends on the wind and the light. That call, and the exceptionally heavy snowfall here, are what a local instructor is worth paying for.
