The valley of world records

One of the largest ski flying hills in the world, the Gorišek Brother’s ski flying hill, has held both the women’s world record (Nika Prevc, 242.5 m, 27 March 2026) and the men’s world record (Domen Prevc, 254.5 m, 30 March 2025) since 2026!

A brother and sister, both world record holders – what an incredible story!

Two great names, two historic records

Austrian Sepp Bradl and Finnish Toni Nieminen proved to the world that humans can fly on skis. Bradl was the first to break the magical 100-metre mark in 1936, while Nieminen became the first to fly beyond 200 metres in 1994. Two remarkable records that have elevated the valley of Planica into one of the greatest sporting valleys in the world.
