Planica or the valley under Ponca is a glacial valley in Julian Alps and is most popular in the beginning of spring.
Planica is known also as "The Cradle of Ski Flying". The annual Planica ski-flying event is a tradition with a special place in people's minds and hearts by now. FIS Ski Jumping World Cup Finale is now traditionally held at the end of March, as the last event of the season. That is the time when we can boast a little with the largest jumping hill.
