Born in 2006, Klara Velepec finds balance in sport after demanding school days. For her, training is more than just physical effort – it’s a place where she searches for her best self and shows the dedication that drives her forward. The mountains represent something mighty. A stage that she approaches with deep respect, especially in winter when she focuses on ski mountaineering – her main winter discipline, which has taught her that dreams can become reality if you truly want them and put in countless hours of hard work.
In 2025, Klara stepped into a new chapter with longer trail races, ranging from 20–30 km. Every stride brought her joy and her smile at the finish proved that she had discovered a world she wants to explore even further. Her ambitions are set on longer trails and competitive international races, where she aims to reach for the stars – all while never forgetting her love for the mountains and ski mountaineering.
