<div id="ygrps-yiv-67689400">Hello,<br/>
<br/>
to answer your various questions (no guarantee for accuracy and legal<br/>
correctness, of course):<br/>
<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; Hello!<br/>
&gt; Slovenia is not a member of schengen. <br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>Not yet, but maybe soon? It WILL join the Euro zone in 5 days, though...<br/>
<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; Can I cross the border from the ski slope of Kanin, through the<br/>
&gt; Prevala valley, to Sella Nevea? <br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>Well, if it is technically feasible and it is an officially marked ski<br/>
slope/route I would say that it should be possible.<br/>
<br/>
Be aware, however, that many European states expressly prohibit<br/>
crossing borders anywhere but via official border crossing point. My<br/>
home country, Austria, designates such a list of official crossing<br/>
points (roads, railway, walking routes, ski slopes etc.) by federal<br/>
regulation - strictly speaking, it is illegal to cross anywhere else<br/>
(even into Germany, for instance), but in relation to Schengen<br/>
countries this is rarely, if ever, imposed.<br/>
<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; Or it can be done only by italian and slovenian citizens? I am a<br/>
&gt; hungarian citizen. <br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>I would say that if you have proper documents to enter Italy, it<br/>
should also be possible for you. You might have to register with a<br/>
customs/border police post. <br/>
<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; If i can pass through the valley, till what time can i do during the<br/>
 </span></blockquote>day? <br/>
<br/>
No idea.<br/>
<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; Do I need any ID card or passport for the trip? <br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>YES! Definitely, whenever you cross a border you need proper ID<br/>
(preferrably passport). Even when travelling among Schengen countries<br/>
you need an ID...<br/>
 <br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; I need infos about border cross on this ski slopes, legal or illegal?<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>See above. Cautiously: Legal.<br/>
<br/>
But just ask at the local tourist office, they MAY know.<br/>
<br/>
Cheerio,<br/>
