Salamandra Ski Resort
Are you spending your winter holiday in Banská Štiavnica and looking for a suitable ski resort for your family? If you answered yes twice, we have a great tip for you. Salamandra Ski Resort is the right place for a family skiing trip. It is located in the heart of the nature of Štiavnické vrchy, in the locality of Hodruša-Hámre, close to Slovakia's oldest mining town, Banská Štiavnica. Interestingly, this ski resort is the southernmost resort of its kind in Slovakia.
This modern and high-quality ski resort offers its skiers great sporting experiences on an intermediate slope. The northwestern orientation of the ski slope and the optimal difficulty of the trails rank this ski resort among the most sought-after in Slovakia. The lower cable car station is located at an altitude of 580 m above sea level, with a vertical drop of 271 m.
Beginners, experienced skiers, and snowboarders alike will find something to enjoy here. The total length of the slope is 1,450 m. The ski area is equipped with state-of-the-art technology. Try the modern Doppelmayr express four-seater chairlift with protective bubbles, as well as the contactless turnstile system. The transport capacity of the resort is 3,100 people per hour. During unfavorable snow conditions, a YORK snowmaking system covering the entire slope ensures artificial snow.
Additional services at the resort include a ski service shop, where helpful staff will check and wax your skis. If you do not have your own gear, do not despair. In the ski equipment rental shop, you can choose skis and boots tailored precisely to your needs. A children's ski lift is ready for kids, and if you want to teach your children how to ski but do not know where to start, enroll them in the ski school. Did you work up a ravenous hunger after a great day of skiing? You can quickly replenish your energy at the Apresski bar, located near the boarding station of the chairlift. A rescue service, as well as the option for evening skiing or sledding, are matters of course.
After a beautiful day spent on the slope, do not rush home. Instead, book a nice cottage or a cozy apartment in the nearby area.
