On picture: Under the Triglav made out of cheese. Sova, za katero je Blaž Habjan potreboval kar 30 dni. This owl by Blaž Habjan took 30 hours to complete. Dragan Šljivić Glavna jed Main Course by Dragan Šljivić Začinjena pomlad Hit Alpinea Kranjska Gora je letos organizirala 2. Mednarodni kulinarični festival Kranjska Gora. Štiriinpetdeset tekmovalk in tekmovalcev iz šestih držav in sicer Italije, Ukrajine, Srbije, Bosne in Hercegovine, Makedonije in Slovenije, se je v dveh tekmovalnih dneh pomerilo v štirih kategorijah. Med vsemi kuharji se je po oceni strokovne žirije festivala najbolje izkazal Dragan Šljivić iz Bosne in Hercegovine. Organizatorji že napovedujejo tretjo izvedbo festivala v maju 2018 s še večjo udeležbo kuharjev iz tujine! O tekmovanju Tekmovalci so morali v petih minutah pripraviti prostor za delo, v 40 minutah pripraviti jedi in v zadnjih petih minutah pospraviti prostor. Posamezeni tekmovalni izziv je trajal 50 minut, nastopili pa so po štirje tekmovalci hkrati. Najboljših pet kuharjev iz skupin A1 in A2 se je uvrstilo v finale, ki je potekal po sistemu magic box (priprava tople predjedi in glavne jedi iz skritih sestavin). V veliki finale so se uvrstili Zoran Andonov Makedonija, Dragan Šlivić Bosna in Hercegovina, Štefan Sraka Slovenija, Aldin Skenderović in Jernej Rac, oba Hotel Korona Kranjska Gora, na koncu pa je slavil glavni kuhar priznane restavracije Monogram, Dragan Šljivić. Predstavnik Hit Alpinee Ivica Aleksov je v svoji kategoriji dobil srebrno priznanje. Na tekmovanju v artistiki z razstavnimi eksponati je tekmovalo deset tekmovalcev z izdelki iz čokolade, testa, sira, sadja in zelenjave. Zlato medaljo so osvojili Vlado Novoselec iz Pirana, ki je za izdelek prejel 100 točk (skupni zmagovalec) ter Blaž Habjan iz Celja, Nikola Grigorijević, Aleksa Petrović, Tatyana Afanasieva in Klavdija Simler. V kategoriji izdelave tort, kjer sta se ocenjevala videz in okus, je slavila dijakinja Barbara Šubelj. Dragan Šljivić, Štefan Sraka in Zoran Andonov, prvi trije na festivalu v drużbi vodje dogodka Boštjana Kovačiča in Iztoka Legata Dragan Šljivić, Štefan Sraka and Zoran Andonov, the first three on the event in the company of Boštjan Kovačič and Iztok Legat. Spicy spring Hit Alpinea Kranjska Gora organized the second International Culinary festival in May. In over two days of competition, fifty-four competitors from six countries, i.e. Italy, Ukraine, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, and Slovenia competed in four categories. In the A1 category, the competitors prepared a contemporary interpretation of a national dish of the country they represented, followed by the preparation of a dish with a modern twist in the A2 category. The festival s expert panel decided that Dragan Šljivić from Bosnia and Herzegovina performed best among all of the chefs. The organizers are already forecasting the third festival in May 2018, with the participation of even more cooks from abroad! About the Competition The competitors had five minutes to prepare their work station, 40 minutes to prepare their dishes, and a final five minutes to clean down afterwards. Four competitors battled against each other in each 50 minute long challenge. The best five cooks from the A1 and A2 categories made it to Wednesday s final, which consisted of a magic box challenge (preparation of a warm starter and a main course from surprise ingredients). Zoran Andonov (Macedonia), Dragan Šljivić (Bosnia and Herzegovina), Štefan Sraka (Slovenia), Aldin Skenderović and Jernej Rac (both from the Kranjska Gora Korona Hotel) made it to the Grand Final of the 2nd Culinary Festival in Kranjska Gora. The representative of Hit Alpinea, Ivica Aleksov, won a silver award in his category. The competition in the food art category for exhibition pieces was fought by ten competitors with chocolate, pastry, fruit, cheese and vegetable products. The gold medals were won by Vlado Novoselec from Piran who received 100 points (the overall winner) and Blaž Habjan from Celje, Nikola Grigorijević, Aleksa Petrović, Tatyana Afanasieva, and Klavdija Simler. Barbara Šubelj won the main award among the cakes, where the jury evaluated the look and the taste. Sodniška ekipa na zabavi ob koncu tekmovanja Judges at the closing party Festival začinila tudi žlička Vegete Pisani sodniški zasedbi, ki prihaja iz osmih držav, se je pridružil tudi prvi obraz znane blagovne znamke Vegeta, Stevo Karapandža. Najpopularnejši kuhar bivše Jugoslavije je bil v anketi, izvedeni leta 2003 v tedniku Nacional, izglasovan kot deseti največji Hrvat na lestvici, katero začenjata Josip Broz Tito in Nikola Tesla. Širši javnosti je postal poznan v oddaji»male skrivnosti velikih kuhinjskih mojstrov«pod pokroviteljstvom Podravke in njene Vegete. Stevo je zase dejal, da so ga v Podravki izbrali kot promotorja ikonične začimbe zato, ker je imel med desetimi kandidati najboljši smisel za izražanje in najbolj urejene nohte... V sklopu 2. Mednarodnega kulinaričnega festivala Kranjska Gora je v razprodani restavraciji Napoli v hotelu Ramada Hotel & Suites potekala Večerja s TOP3 šefi. Premajhna pa ni bila samo restavracija ampak tudi kuhinja hotela, kjer se je trem šefom pridružil še četrti, Italjan Luca Gioiello, ki je doživetje odpeljal čez našo zahodno mejo. Ples okusov je začel prav on, s polenovko in hrustljavim jabolkom Ankuro na piškotku iz riža, pozdrav iz kuhinje je spremljala Erzetičeva suha penina Sentio. Potem je zadišalo po Mediteranu. Na Mediteranski plošči na krajinski način Dragana Šljivića (Bosna in Hercegovina) se je bohotila tuna, brancin in vognole s kaviarjem ter pomarančo in limono v spremstvu suhe Rebule. Makedonec Nikola Mishkovski je večer začinil s kombinacijo zajca in natrgane račke v obliki pite, z dodanimi jurčki ter bučno omako in omako iz tartufov, priznani slovenski vinar Erzetič je jedi dodal Belo Amforo. V Zgornjesavsko dolino nas je vrnil Robert Kristan, domačin, zaposlen v Hit Alpinei. Z njegovo Kekčevo poletno mal co smo videli, kaj si naš literarni junak privošči ob nedeljah lahkotno belo polento v kokosovem mleku z belo čokolado, sveže gozdne jagode z jagodnim pirejem in meto ter ledeniški sorbet iz jabolk, bezga in sirupa smrekovih vršičkov. Dogodku sta se pridružila tudi lastnik vinske kleti Aleksij Erzetič z družino, ki je pred vsako jedjo predstavil vinsko spremljavo in Alma Rekić, ki na festivalu opravlja vlogo sodnice. V ocenjevanje jedi se tokrat v sproščenem vzdušju dogodka seveda ni spuščala, izrazila pa je navdušenje nad pisano mednarodno druščino kuharjev, ki so pečat svojih dežel pustili na krožnikih. Fist face of Vegeta joins the festival The diverse cast of judges, who hailed from eight countries, was also joined by the face of the wellknown brand Vegeta, Stevo Karapandža. In a poll carried out in 2003 in the Nacional weekly, the most popular cook of the former Yugoslavia was voted the tenth greatest Croat on a list headed by Josip Broz Tito and Nikola Tesla. He became known to the wider public through the television show Little Secrets of Great Chefs, sponsored by Podravka and its Vegeta brand. Stevo has said about himself that at Podravka he was selected to promote the iconic spice blend because among the ten candidates he was the most eloquent and had the best-manicured fingernails. As a part of the 2nd International Kranjska Gora Culinary Festival, the Dinner with the Top3 Chefs took place in the sold-out Napoli Restaurant at the Ramada Hotel & Suites. It wasn t just the restaurant that was too small but also the kitchen of the hotel because the three chefs joined the fourth, the Italian Luca Gioiello, taking the experience across our western border. He started the dance of flavours, with a dish of cod and crunchy Akero apple on a rice biscuit; this greeting from the kitchen was accompanied by Erzetič s Sentio sparkling dry wine. Then the aroma of the Mediterranean wafted in. On the Landscape-Style Mediterranean Plate by Dragan Šljivić (Bosnia and Herzegovina), tuna and sea bass sitting on vongola shells proudly took centre stage, accompanied by caviar, orange and lemon and complemented by a dry Rebula. The Macedonian Nikola Mishkovski spiced up the evening with a combination of hare and shredded duck in a pie, with added porcini, a pumpkin sauce, and a truffle sauce, with which the renowned Slovenian wine-maker Erzetič paired Amfora White. Hit Alpinea s Robert Kristan, who comes from the area, took us back to the Upper Sava Valley. With his Kekec Summer Snack we saw how our literary hero treats himself with on Sundays light white polenta in coconut milk with white chocolate, fresh forest strawberries with strawberry puree and mint, and an apple, elderflower, and spruce tip syrup iced sherbet. The owner of the wine cellar, Aleksij Erzetič, with his family, presented the wine accompaniment before each course. Alma Rekić, who had been a judge at the festival, was also in attendance. Of course, this time, in the more relaxed atmosphere of the event, she did not delve into assessing the dishes, but she expressed her fascination for the varied international company of chefs who left the mark of their countries on the plates.

5 PLANICA... v številkah... in numbers Konec marca je bila Planica ponovno v znamenju zaključnih tekmovanj svetovnega pokala. V štirih dneh je dolino pod Poncami obiskalo obiskovalcev, ki so tudi letos dokazali, da planiški vikend spada v sam vrh slovenskih športnih prireditev. Družba Hit Alpinea je tudi tokrat poskrbela za dobro počutje obiskovalcev, tekmovalcev, zaposlenih na sami prireditvi ter gostov v dveh VIP šotorih. V letošnjem letu pa je bil prvič na voljo najvišji nivo pogostitve, Crystal Globe Lounge. Prostor v drugem nadstropju Nordijskega centra je bil posebej opremljen za spremljanje tekmovanja, gostinske storitve ter počitek. Gostje so na prizorišče pripotovali s helikopterskim prevozom ter se tako izognili prometu. Za gostinske storitve je poskrbela kuharska ekipa HIT-a pod vodstvom člana nacionalne kuharske ekipe, g. Marina Furlana, ponudba pa je temeljila na slovenskih jedeh, pripravljenih na moderni način. Čeprav je v Planici najpomembnejša merska enota dolžina, vam tokrat predstavljamo Planico v znamenju številk iz perspektive Hit Alpinee. g postreženih piv g malic za dijake in učence g malic za planiške delavce g hot - dogov, pleskavic g VIP gostov in VIP catering na skupni kvadraturi 1600m 2 g kav g kuhanih vin g zadovoljnih gostov v polno zasedenih hotelih v Kranjski Gori in Gozd Martuljku Ponosni smo, da smo del uspešne zgodbe!

Spoznajmo se, z veseljem prisluhnemo vašim željam. info: T: rada.rajlic@hit-alpinea.si info@hit-alpinea.si At the end of March, Planica was once again marked by the final World Cup competitions. Over four days, the valley below the Ponce Mountains drew 75,000 visitors, who proved this year too that the Planica weekend ranks at the very top of Slovenian sport events. Hit Alpinea again took care of the well being of visitors, competitors, employees at the actual event, and guests in two VIP tents. This year, the highest level of hospitality, the Crystal Globe Lounge, was available for the first time. On the second floor of the Nordic Centre, premises were again fitted out for watching the competition, catering, and having a rest. The guests arrived at the venue by helicopter and thus avoided the traffic. HIT s team of chefs led by a member of the national chef team, Mr Marin Furlan, took care of catering, and the menu was based on Slovene dishes prepared with a modern twist Intervju Slovenija je moje igrišče Strah in trepet v ringu, mr. Simpaticus izven njega. Patriot in borec iz Trdobojcev. Naš navečji (ali celo edini?) pravi boksarski šampion. Dejan Zavec nas je z družino obiskal konec februarja, ko je v hotelu Ramada Hotel & Suites preživel nekaj dni z družino. Za začetek - prihajate iz Trdobojcev. Zelo primerno ime vaš za domači kraj, glede na to da ste se za svoje uspehe nedvomno trdo borili. Tako je, to je majhen kraj pod Halozami, kjer je življenje še danes pestro. Pokrajina je zelo hribovita, mislim, da ne obstaja stroj, ki bi lahko obdeloval to pokrajino, če pa že obstaja je pa verjetno peklensko drag. Trdobojci mislim da štejejo okoli 40 ljudi. Gre za težko dostopno območje, ime pa je več kot primerno tako za kraj kot tudi zame TRDO BOJCI! Najljubši spomin iz kariere? Dva najljubša: Južna Afrika, tam kjer sem začinil svojo kariero s krono (v Johannesburgu je premagal Isaaca Hlatshwayja in postal svetovni prvak op. p.) in pa potem polne Stožice, tam se je naredil premik, kjer je bil boks v Sloveniji na nivoju podtalnice, potem pa je na dogodek prišlo ljudi. V Mariboru pa se je vse skupaj začelo in tudi končalo. Sedaj ste v športnem pokoju. Občutki? Še manj sem doma kot prej (smeh). Po pričevanju drugih športnikov sem mislil, da bo hujše. Pripravljam projekte za naprej in urejam zadeve za nazaj, tako da mi vseeno ostane bolj malo časa. Kaj je za vas na počitnicah najpomembnejše? Predvsem to, da se počutimo dobro. Da ne rabimo skrbeti za nič, imamo blizu smučišče, da nam ni treba uporabljati avtomobila. Komfort otrok, bližina bazena, igral, smučišč... Otroci so v vašem hotelu ravno opazili sobo z biljardom in namiznim tenisom, tako da upam, da jim ne bo zmanjkalo časa za smučanje (smeh). Da smo tudi starši lahko na dopustu in da nismo vedno v skrbeh, kaj počnejo otroci. In pa tisto, da se vedno počutimo varne. Pa seveda najpomembnejša stvar, ambient. Super je, da na tako nizki nadmorski višini obstajajo tako vrhunska smučušča. Če bi v Dubaju vedeli kaj imamo, bi bila verjetno arabska Kranjska Gora. Očitno je, da imate radi Slovenijo in vse, kar je slovenskega. Pa vseeno, videli ste kar nekaj sveta. Če bi morali izbrati samo eno tujo destinaicjo, katera bi bila? Jaz bi še vedno izbral Slovenijo. Veliko krajev je na meni pustilo dober vtis. Amerika mi je pustila nek posebej prijazen vtis ljudi, dobiš občutek, da si človek, ne glede na to od kje si. Tudi če si iz dela sveta, ki ga oni načeloma ne odobravajo. Vsakemu dajo občutek, da si pomemben. Tudi v New Yorku, ki ima nekaj miljonov ljudi, te obravnavajo kot nekaj posebnega. Poleg Amerike bi izpostavil še Južno Afriko, taka nasprotujoča si razmerja in zelo raznolika država. Ampak kjerkoli sem bil sem bil odlično sprejet in sem se dobro počutil, toda nikoli nisem mogel reči, da je bil to moj dom, ali pa da bi sploh razmišljal v to smer. Za mene je samo en dom in to je Slovenija. Oz. če sem še bolj ekstremen, če bi imel zlato palčko ne bi pustil da se delimo na Štajerce, Ljubljančane... ne bi dovolil, ker je Slovenija tako majhna in čudovita, govorimo isti jezik z drugimi narečji ampak to ni razlog, da se med seboj ne bi razumeli. Moje igrišče je Slovenija in ne bi je zamenjal za nič drugega. Interview Slovenia is My Playground Fear and horror in the Ring, Mr Sympathicus outside of it. A patriot and a fighter from Trdobojci. Our greatest (or even the only?) true boxing champion. Dejan Zavec visited us again at the end of February, when, with his family, he spent a few days at the Ramada Hotel & Suites. To begin you come from Trdobojci. This is a very apt name [note: it roughly translates as Hard Fighters ] for your home place, considering that you undoubtedly fought very hard for your successes. That s true, this is a small place below the Haloze Hills where life is diverse even today. The landscape is very hilly; I don t think there is a machine that would be able to cultivate it, but if it does exist, it must be as pricey as hell. I believe Trdobojci numbers 40 people. The area is difficult to access, and the name is more than appropriate for the place as well as for me TRDO BOJCI, HARD FIGHTERS! What is your favourite career memory? Two most favourite: South Africa, where I capped my career with a crown (writer s note: in Johannesburg he defeated Isaac Hlatshwayo and became world champion) and then the packed Stožice, where the breakthrough happened; by then, boxing in Slovenia had been at groundwater level, and then 15,000 people arrived at the event. However, everything started and also ended in Maribor. You are a sportsman in retirement now. Feelings? I am home even less than before (laughter). From the testimony of other sportspeople, I thought it would be worse. I prepare projects for the future and put in order past matters, so I m nevertheless left with little time. On holiday, what s most important to you? Particularly, that we feel well. That we have nothing to care about, we have a ski slope nearby, we don t have to use a car. The comfort of the children, the proximity of a swimming pool, play area, ski slopes, etc. At your hotel, my children have just spotted a room with a pool and table tennis, so I hope they won t run out of time for skiing (laughter). That also we as parents can have a break and not always worry about what the children are doing. And that we always feel safe. And, of course, the most important thing, the ambience. It is great that there are such top ski centres at such a low elevation. If in Dubai they knew what we have, Kranjska Gora would probably be Arabic. It is evident that you like Slovenia and everything Slovene. Nonetheless, you have seen quite a lot of the world. If you had to choose only one foreign destination, what would it be? I would still choose Slovenia. A lot of places have left a good impression with me. America has left me a certain very kind impression of people; one gets the feeling that you are a human, no matter where you come from. Even if you are from a part of the world that they do not approve of in principle. They make everyone feel significant. Even in New York with several million people, they treat you as something special. Besides America, I would highlight South Africa with such diametric relations and it is a very diverse country. However, wherever I was I was excellently received and I felt good, but I was never able to say that was my home or even think in that direction. Only one place is my home and it is Slovenia. Or, to be even more extreme, if I had a magic wand I would not allow us to divide ourselves up as Styrians, Ljubljana residents,...i would not allow that because Slovenia is so small and wonderful, we speak the same language in various dialects, but that is not a good enough reason not to get along. Slovenia is my playground and I would not replace it with anything.

6 Vodja wellnessa svetuje Skupaj proti stresu Krmarjenje skozi življenje nas vedno znova postavlja pred različne izzive. Plovba po mirnem morju dogodkov se lahko v trenutku spremeni v razburkano morje težav, sami pa smo odgovorni za to, da varno priplujemo mimo vseh zagat, ki nam jih na pot postavijo zunanje okoliščine. Stres nastaja zato, ker se ljudje na zunanje okoliščine in sitaucije odzovemo tako, da blokiramo pretok energije po telesu. Antistres masaža z zeliščnim oljem se osredotoča na stopala, glavo, vrat, ramenski obroč in dlani ter deluje blagodejno na nekatere simptome stresa kot je zakrčenje mičic vratu, ramenskega obroča, pomaga pri pravilni drži... Masaža obraza pa krepi tonus kože obraza. The Head of Wellness advises Together Against Stress Navigating through life presents us with various challenges. Sailing on a calm sea of events can change at any moment into a stormy sea of troubles, and it is our responsibility to sail safely past all predicaments set on our path by external circumstances. Stress arises because people respond to external circumstances and situations by blocking the flow of energy through our bodies.

7 ... v Zgornjesavski dolini Če nas obiščete za cel teden ali samo čez vikend, s prijatelji ali družino, če sije sonce ali pada dež prepričani smo, da v nobenem primeru ne smete izpustiti naslednjih pet destinacij. TOP 5... of the Upper Sava Valley If you visit us for a whole week or only over a weekend, with friends or family, whether the sun is shining or rain is falling we are sure that in no case you should leave out the following five destinations. Martuljški slapovi Martuljek Falls Nad dolino Gozd Martuljka vas pričakujeta dva slapova, lahko dostopna vsem pohodnikom. Še posebej mogočen je drugi slap, ki je v štirih stopnjah visok okoli 100 metrov. Na poti priporočamo postanek v brunarici pri Ingotu in ogled oglarske kope. There are two waterfalls above the Gozd Martuljek valley, easily accessible to all hikers. Particularly majestic is the second waterfall, which over four steps has a height of 100 metres. We recommend to stop at the log cabin At Ingo and to see the charcoal pile. Nordijski center Planica Planica Nordic Centre Po izkušnje na Festival čokolade To the Festival of Chocolate to Gather Experience Na Festivalu čokolade v Radovljici se je v šotoru Čokolandija predstavila tudi Hit Alpinea Kranjska Gora. Dijakinja Nina Macun in izkušeni kuhar Tadej Lombar, sicer vodja kuhinje kranjskogorskega hotela Kompas, sta skupaj pripravila polento z belo čokolado in jagodnim sorbetom. Poleg samega sodelovanja na festivalu ima dogodek pomembno izobraževalno noto. Za mlado Nino, ki trenutno opravlja prakso, so nastopi pred publiko in priprava hrane»v živo«pomembna izkušnja. Tadej Lombar je po dogodku dejal:»veseli me, ko lahko znanje predam nekomu, ki si ga zares želi. Najbolj to pride do izraza pri praktičnem delu, če pa je zraven prisoten še element treme se vse skupaj še bolje prime.«da je kuhala med nastopi slavnih tekmovalcev iz znanega televizijskega šova, Peško in Elvisom, pa je bila zanjo še posebna čast. Hit Alpinea Kranjska Gora also presented itself at the Čokolandija [Chocolate Land] tent at the Festival of Chocolate in Radovljica. Nina Macun, a high school student, and Tadej Lombar, an experienced chef, otherwise the head of the kitchen of the Kompas Hotel in Kranjska Gora, prepared polenta with white chocolate and strawberry sorbet. Besides participation in the festival, the event also has an important educational note. For young Nina who is currently on placement, appearances in front of an audience and the preparation of food live are an important experience. After the event, Tadej Lombar said: It is a pleasure for me to pass down knowledge to someone who really desires it. This is most expressed in practical work, and if there is an element of stage fright, everything sticks even better. And it was a special honour for her to cook among famous competitors from the well known TV show, Peška [Kernel] and Elvis. Kdo ne bi vsaj za trenutek zakorakal po stopinjah Petra Prevca?
