Zgornja Savinjska valley (and Velika planina), is an alpine region in the mid north of Slovenia. Even with its attractive natural landscapes of forests and alpine peaks, this region is not a mass tourism place. Therefore it is not as expensive as some other similar regions In Slovenia. The mapped areas of Zgornja Savinjska dolina and Velika planina offer great diversity of terrain. From the most complex alpine karst areas on Velika planina plateau to the fast lowland karst in the Savinja valley. At the moment we also offer a few trainings on continental terrain. The difference in running speed between different terrains can vary 50-100%. We find this area especially suitable for the youth 14 - 20 years of age for a few reasons:
 
Crni graben
The Crni graben area

1. The diversity of terrain and easily adjusted sessions to differently skilled runners.
2. Reasonably priced packages. Even if located in attractive alpine region we can offer some of the cheapest packgages in this area.
3. Youth suitable accommodation is located in very nice natural surroundings, providing with good possibilities socializing and leisure activities - volleyball, bathing etc..
4. Spas (Topolsica or Snovik), rafting, kayak, hiking and other possibilties make it easy to have an active rest day or just afternoon.

Running on maps on Velika planina is also a first class aesthetic experience.
