Skiing here takes place in the beautiful mountain environment of the Kremnické vrchy mountains without artificial snowmaking.

The ski resort is situated at an altitude of 961 m above sea level and features a total slope length of 1.43 km. Three of the four lifts are located in the upper part of Sielnická Poľana. They service two easy slopes suitable for less experienced skiers and one intermediate slope. In the lower part of the resort, skier transport is provided by a fourth, older T-bar ski lift. The challenging slope adjacent to it is suitable for experienced athletes.

The slopes are groomed and rely exclusively on the favorable snow conditions of the mountain area. The ski resort is easily accessible by car from the village of Sielnica. The access road is maintained, but since this is a mountain environment, we recommend packing snow chains along with your ski equipment. Parking is provided directly at the lifts. The ski resort is a very good choice for lovers of smaller family ski areas surrounded by beautiful nature. Shorter but very attractive trails for cross-country skiers are usually prepared around the slopes.

After a great day of skiing, we recommend water relaxation in the nearby Holidaypark Kováčová. Here you can unwind and gather new strength for another day on the slopes or for visiting attractions in the immediate vicinity. In the village of Hronsek, you can take a look at the wooden articular church, the beautiful Baroque manor house, and the oldest local building, the Renaissance manor house, Vodný hrad.

Despite the fact that Poľana is not among the highest peaks of our country, it is certainly one of the best-known. It owes this not only to folk songs that even small children know, but also to the fact that it is the most famous extinct volcano in Slovakia. And perhaps it is right in its immediate surroundings that you will experience the best skiing.

The ski resort Poľana nad Detvou will surely surprise you with the quality of skiing that you will be able to experience here. The resort itself lies on the southern slopes of the well-known Poľana, in a protected landscape area. This fact alone hints that something exceptional awaits you here. Beautiful nature and piles of snow in winter. What more could one wish for?

You can get to this ski resort from Hriňová, which is famous for its healing stays or water reservoir. From there, you will continue along a mountain road for about another 12 km. The Poľana nad Detvou resort can also be reached from Detva, which is famous for its folklore. If you choose this option and do not go via Hriňová, you will discover typical Detva scatter-site settlements.

You will certainly be surprised by the breathtaking view into the valley. You probably do not expect the ski resort to be spread out at a high altitude. However, the opposite is true. The ski slopes start at an altitude of 1184 and end at 1320 meters above sea level. In the ski resort, you will find a trio of ski lifts that ensure comfortable and fast transport for all skiers. Poľana nad Detvou boasts a pair of ski slopes that will mainly appeal to less demanding skiers. The first ski slope is marked in blue and is intended for absolute beginners or children. More experienced skiers will certainly appreciate the red, moderately difficult ski slope. Once again, we must remind you of the breathtaking view that awaits you while traversing the snow-covered plains.

The total length of the ski slopes in the resort is 1.7 km. A ski kindergarten and a separate children's lift are intended for the youngest toddlers. Here they will learn the art of skiing either accompanied by their parents or through qualified ski instructors.

The Poľana nad Detvou ski resort also thinks of cross-country skiing enthusiasts. Here they will find up to 7 km of maintained trails in the beautiful environment of the surrounding forests.

Considering that the resort is located deep in the mountains, you will have to count on the fact that accommodation will be somewhat further away. An exception is the mountain hotel directly on the slope. However, in the surrounding villages, there is a sufficient number of various cottages, private rooms, and apartments that will satisfy even the most demanding. You no longer need to think about it, just pack your bags and hit the road.

Nízke Tatry attract almost every passionate hiker. Peaks like Chopok or Ďumbier are known to perhaps everyone. However, Nízke Tatry are not formed only by their main ridge; you will also find many undiscovered yet beautiful corners here. We will now take you to one of them.

Imagine a small village in a beautiful and quiet environment. High mountains rise all around, and dense forests tempt you for a walk. Do you think you cannot find such a place in our country? Mistake. All you need to do is head to the ski resort Šachtičky. It lies just a short distance from one of the most beautiful mountain villages in Slovakia, Špania Dolina. This village is located a few kilometers north of the well-known Banská Bystrica.

Šachtičky in the foothills of Nízke Tatry welcomes all skiers. Its main advantage is excellent snow conditions. Deep in the mountains, winter is always harsh, and there is usually more natural snow here than usual. Furthermore, the artificial snowmaking system significantly helps in the resort as well. Šachtičky is a relatively large and interesting ski complex. You will find slopes of all difficulty levels here: blue, red, and black. Approximately half of all trails are marked in red, indicating medium difficulty slopes.

Šachtičky is also great for beginner skiers. In other ski resorts, it is customary to set aside only a few short lifts and slopes at the bottom of the resort for beginners. Šachtičky is different and offers top-class slopes even to beginners. One of the blue slopes is almost 2 km long and is the longest in the resort. The second is over 1.5 km long, which is also a respectable length. Thus, you do not have to worry about skiing on a very short slope all day long.

Ski Šachtičky is situated at an altitude of 802 to 1,102 meters above sea level. So prepare for a harsh winter and, what is even better, a beautiful panoramic view. That will be the icing on the cake of your perfect skiing experience. A total of five ski lifts ensure that you ski more than you wait in line. The total capacity of the resort is almost 3,000 skiers per hour. Šachtičky is a suitable ski resort even for a multi-day winter vacation due to the total length of the slopes. It reaches more than 10 km, which ranks Šachtičky among the larger Slovak ski resorts.

Just as great as all 9 slopes in the resort are the additional services. You will find a children's area for the youngest skiers, a ski service shop, rental shop, a snack bar with a terrace, a restaurant, and accommodation facilities right next to the slope. If you love cross-country skiing, bring your cross-country skis to Šachtičky as well. Up to 14 km of trails in a beautiful setting with views of Nízke Tatry await you here.

In winter, Šachtičky is a popular ski resort, and in summer, it transforms into a well-known recreational area. Thanks to this status, it offers varied accommodation options. A pleasant hotel or mountain chalets in the immediate vicinity of the ski lifts are available to you here. Nearby, there are private accommodation options suitable for unpretentious tourists requiring complete privacy. Šachtičky certainly belongs among the ski resorts you should try.

Do you enjoy discovering less crowded ski resorts that are known primarily to locals from surrounding villages? Do you dislike crowded slopes and endless lines? In that case, head to the village of Králiky in the heart of Slovakia.

The small village with this name is located in dense forests just 10 km from Banská Bystrica, towards the geographical center of Slovakia at Kremnické Bane. The local nature is known for its mountains, and those mean only one thing: plenty of snow. The top of the ski resort is at an altitude of 929 meters above sea level. Some Slovak resorts only start at such an altitude, but Králiky cannot complain about a lack of snow. If there happens to be a weaker winter after all, almost the entire resort is equipped with an artificial snowmaking system. The area of Banská Bystrica and Kremnické vrchy has a rich skiing tradition, and thanks to good snow conditions, it is the most sought-after area for cross-country skiers.

Who will come into their own at the Ski Králiky resort? Every beginner skier. Králiky is focused on beginner skiers, and all slopes are marked in blue, indicating the lowest difficulty. If you have young children, want to learn to ski at an older age, or prefer relaxing skiing, it is one of the best alternatives.

The total length of all slopes is approximately 2.5 km. It is not much, but it is sufficient for beginners. Comfortable transport is provided by 2 ski lifts, one of which is a children's lift, and a chairlift. Thanks to the chairlift itself, lines do not form, and you do not have to worry about not getting enough skiing time. There is a ski school in the resort, so you can make use of the services of true professionals. You will also find snowboarding instructors here. When you tire of skis, there is snowtubing. Conversely, if you still cannot get enough even after regular skiing, you can enjoy an illuminated slope during evening skiing. Refreshments in the form of a snack bar and a restaurant are a matter of course at the resort.

As we have already mentioned, the center of Slovakia and especially Kremnické vrchy are exceptionally popular among cross-country skiers. Several beautiful trails lead directly from the resort, which you certainly must not miss.

Right by the lifts, there are cabins from which you will be just a stone's throw from the slope. Further accommodation options await you right in the village of Králiky, private rooms and guesthouses of various quality and prices. Almost everything is available to choose from, and you are sure to find the type of accommodation you prefer.
