Ski News from Slovakia
A ski holiday in Slovakia has a typical season. The classic ski season runs from November to the end of March, and in rare cases into April. Despite generally reliable snow conditions, there can be no absolute guarantee of snow for a ski holiday in Slovakia. If the snow conditions are unsuitable, most ski hotels offer wonderful alternatives and/or compensation. Slovakia’s ski areas are known for their snow-covered mountains, and every year visitors eagerly book suitable deals from the range of hotels, holiday homes and holiday apartments in Slovakia.

Latest news and background
Slovakia has four main regions for a classic ski holiday. The most popular ski regions are in the two national parks, the Low Tatras and the High Tatras. Considerably smaller, but no less worth considering for families on a ski holiday in Slovakia, are the ski areas in the Lesser Fatra and the Greater Fatra. With around 34.5 km of slopes, Jasná in the Low Tatras is a popular destination. The region around Slovakia’s second-highest mountain, Chopok, and the Demänovská Valley offers excellent skiing holidays in Slovakia. In addition to the various slopes, guests can enjoy snowparks with jumps and rails, slopes for snowboarders, night sledding and groomed cross-country trails. Children can explore the snow at MAXILAND, an area covering 4,000 m². With wonderful panoramas and favorable thermals, paragliders have the chance to experience the snow-covered landscape from a different perspective. The highlight of this region is its ice caves, with ice stalactites and waterfalls.
From Poprad, skiers on holiday in Slovakia can discover the country’s highest mountain, Gerlachovský štít, at 2,655 meters. Poprad lies on the edge of the High Tatras National Park and is just one of Slovakia’s many ski resorts, alongside places such as Tatranská Lomnica, Ždiar and Bachledova Dolina. The region has fewer kilometers of slopes. Here, holiday homes in Slovakia are booked for their unique panoramas. In addition, Lomnický štít offers the steepest and longest descent. Europe’s smallest high mountain range also offers a fun park with snow tubing and snow biking for ski holidaymakers in Slovakia. Few people miss out on night sledding. The Aqua City water park offers a perfect sporting alternative. A sleigh ride makes a ski holiday in Slovakia especially romantic. But, as in Jasná, the caves are the region’s highlight. In the High Tatras National Park, the Belianska Caves draw hikers and adventurers alike like magnets.
