Planica is famous for its ski jumping and ski flying hills and is therefore also known as the “valley of the ski jumps”. The first ski jumping hill was built on Ponca Mountain before 1930 . In 1934 Stanko Bloudek constructed a larger hill, the Bloudkova Velikanka . The first ski jump over 100 meters was achieved here in 1936 by the Austrian Sepp Bradl . In 1969 the Letalnica bratov Gorišek , the largest and currently the second largest ski flying hill in the world, was constructed by Lado and Janez Gorišek.

Planica will host the Nordic World Ski Championships in 2023 after the candidacies for the 2017 , 2019 and 2021 World Championships were unsuccessful.
