Julian Alps
Vrsic Pass runs Kranjska Gora to Bovec in Julian Alps, Slovenia. The road is at its best before the first coaches arrive, so staying within a few minutes of the start is worth more than a smarter hotel an hour away. Check the season before you book. Closed by snow from November to April.
