Road access

Access from the central or eastern part of the country: there are 2 possibilities:

The fastest way via motorway: take the motorway (A 1) Ljubljana - Koper and take the exit - izhod Nanos, direction Nova Gorica (H4). The highway begins to descent into the Vipava valley. After passing Vipava, take exit Ajdovscina.
(for  better understanding, the distance between Ljubljana and Ajdovscina is about 80 kms by road).

The shorter but slower, more picturesque way: also take the motorway Ljubljana - Koper but leave it already at the exit - izhod Logatec and head for Idrija. You will enjoy the landscape surrounded with forests and fields all the way to Ajdovscina. When arriving to Godovic, make a left turn towards Crni Vrh (direction Nova Gorica). After passing the village of Col, there are less than 10 kms to Ajdovscina. This way is more than 10 kms shorter than the one mentioned above, but takes more time because of the curvy roads.

If you are about to arrive from the west (Italy), you take the motorway A4 from Venezia or Udine, direction Trieste, exit - uscita Villesse. After approximately 12 kms you arrive to border crossing between Italy and Slovenia called St.Andrea - Vrtojba. Then you simply follow the motorway eastbound and leave it in Ajdovscina (3rd exit). The airport itself is located on the west part of the town, only about 800m away from the town center.

The easiest way to find us after you have already arrived in Ajdovscina is to look for us at the airport. If you do not find us there, simply ask the airport manager or one of the barmen in the nearby restaurant »Zmaj« to call us. We will be more than pleased to meet you at the airport and then take you to our facilities.
The company headquarters can be found at Goriška cesta 50a, right next to the airport.

The easiest way to reach Pipistrel:

Once you exit the motorway, you will see a crossroads with the traffic lights.
In the crossroads, go STRAIGHT on. After about 300 meters, you will arrive to a roundabout-under-construction. Take THIRD exit.
Then stay on the main road, after about 600 m you will see Pipistrel on your right, slightly removed from the main road.

This is the building you should be looking for, on the right side of the road: 

 
If you take the FIRST exit at the roundabout and then turn RIGHT again immediately, you will arrive to the Gold Club hotel (see below).
It's best not to follow the GPS to navigate the city centre, because it usually guides you to a wrong location.
