The Planica Nordic Centre in Rateče, at the foot of the Julian Alps in Slovenia, rents out four kinds of facilities for corporate events, private celebrations and weddings. The main building holds up to 1,000 people in total and 200 per floor, two smaller facilities take 60 to 80 people for meetings, and Hotel Dom Planica has a conference room and a sports hall. The centre is known for its ski flying hills and runs events from lectures to events with hundreds of participants.
Seminars and company events
The centre presents itself as one of the few places in Slovenia that can host corporate events with several hundred participants: annual meetings, internal conferences, product presentations, anniversaries and press conferences. The team handles organization, catering, entertainment and activity planning. Plenary sessions, accompanying programs and catering can run in parallel on the site.
Programs can add the centre's activities: an outdoor ice rink, cross-country skiing, snow games, guided tours, the Planica museum and an indoor cross-country track of 600 m kept at minus 2 degrees. In winter, a friendly corporate cross-country race can be organized.
Weddings and receptions
The private events page lists personal celebrations, anniversaries, gatherings, children's birthday parties and wedding organization. The centre describes the setting as the edge of Triglav National Park with views across the Planica valley. The page does not give a wedding capacity, so use the facility figures below and ask the team.
