Kranjska Gora is a small but well known ski resort in winter time but more and more mountainbiking finds its way to the valley


PRESS RELEASE: iXS Downhill Cup

Take some roots, steep slopes, and pumping arms and you have the perfect recipe for the second race of the iXS European Downhill Cup 2019. In Kranjska Gora, a race track on World Cup level awaits.

What happened in 2018?

To get a genuine first impression of the scenery and the track conditions, just have a look at the 2018 video:


Situated in the far North-west of Slovenia, Kranjska Gora first became known as a host for numerous Ski Alpine World Cups before it entered the downhill stage as the host of the European Downhill Championships.

Raving Roots

This place is unreal and provides another class act of a downhill track in slovenia

Most visitors to Kranjska Gora’s races remember the roots – hundreds of them. For 2019, there have been some adjustments and changes in the course, there is now no possible way around them. With wet and rainy weather conditions forecast for the weekend, some sections of the track will become a real nightmare, even for talented and experienced riders.

Max Hartenstern was here for winning business but got third with just 0.219s behind

The Weather

But let’s have a last look at the overall conditions: An important factor in every race is, of course, the weather. At the moment the forecast really doesn’t look too good and the weather might be a bit hard for the second round of the EDC season. Rain, however, really would make it a lot more difficult in Kranjska Gora, that’s for sure. Let’s wait and see about that. No matter what the weather, Kranjska Gora is definitely worth a trip for both riders and visitors. It is your chance to be a part of an exciting and extremely demanding race!
