Ski Resorts in Serbia

• Kopaonik

Kopaonik

The purpose-built resort of Kopaonik (fondly known as ‘Kop’) on Mt. Kopaonik has all the amenities you could wish for close by, including ski-in/ski-out accommodation.

Located in the southeastern part of Serbia, the area gets plenty of snow and also enjoys a high percentage of sunny days.  One downside is that the transfer time from Belgrade airport is rather long.  The resort has been gradually expanding and improving and offers excellent value for money.   They have bi-lingual instructors and there is plenty to keep family members of all ages happy, making a ski trip there affordable and satisfying.  There is plenty of après ski entertainment with various clubs and bars.

Also available is cross country skiing, 450m of night skiing, sleigh rides, ice skating, sleigh rides and ski-mobiling.  The resort has plenty of restaurants and eateries where you can sample some Serbian cuisine or stick with the known.   There are ten restaurants on the mountain.  They have a ski school with bi-lingual instructors, rentals, and good facilities for beginners.  The mountain is open for snowboarders with plenty of varied terrain.

Kopaonik resort is set at 1770m (5,087’).  The highest lift is at 2017m (6,617’).  Note: If you plan a ski trip for Christmas, the Serbians do not celebrate Christmas on the 25th December to the same degree that we do in Britain as they adhere to the Orthodox calendar.
