Podkoren 3 is a black World Cup technical ski course in Slovenia, located on Vitranc mountain in Podkoren, Kranjska Gora. When it debuted over 42 years ago in December 1983, it was in Yugoslavia, and was constructed by Peter Lakota, a successful Slovenian ski racer.

It has been hosting slalom and giant slalom for the Vitranc Cup (Pokal Vitranc) since then. It replaced previous slopes; Bukovniški smuk (1961–70) and old gas station slope (1971–83).

With a 59% incline at the start of giant slalom, it is the ski slope with the steepest part in Slovenia. It is located close to Planica and Rateče (near the Italian and Austrian borders).

This slope is considered one of the top three hardest giant slaloms in the world, along with Alta Badia (ITA) and Adelboden (SUI).

The slope is part of "Podkoren I" section, one of four, right in the middle of Kranjska Gora Ski Resort.

In December 1983, this course was officially opened with women's and men's slalom (20,000 people), replacing the old previous course above the nearby gas station.

In 1985, a total of 40,000 people has gathered in two days. 30,000 alone at the slalom where Rok Petrovič won in front of a home crowd, one of the most iconic and most visited and events in Kranjska Gora.

In 1986, a total of 20,000 people saw another home win for the second year in a row, with Bojan Križaj and Rok Petrovič being first and second in SL. Swiss athlete Joël Gaspoz won the giant slalom a day before, for the third year in Kranjska Gora a row.
