_general

Kopaonik is the largest ski resort in Serbia, known for its natural beauty and friendly atmosphere. Ideal destination for families and skiers of all levels. With the highest peak reaching 2,017 m (Pancicev vrh), it has a total length of 55 km of alpine ski slopes of all levels at a friendly altitude. Night skiing (18:00 – 21:00), snowboard and cross-country slopes and the possibility of artificial snow if necessary, definitely put it on the list of those who love winter sports.

Ski Resort

According to the specifications of the FIS (International Ski Federation) in Ski resort of Kopaonik there are three slopes for slalom, giant slalom and downhill. It has well-organized slopes at an altitude of 1650 reaching 2010 meters total length. All slopes are connected to 25 lifts with a total capacity of 32,000 people per hour.
