Ski resorts Kubínska Hoľa

Would you like to experience a unique and high-quality skiing trip? Do you not know where to go because you already know almost all the well-known resorts? Perhaps you have missed one. It is slightly off the main routes in Slovakia, but it is well worth a visit. If you are traveling near Dolný Kubín in winter, make a stop here.

You will be welcomed by Ski Park Kubínska hoľa, a ski resort in Oravská Magura with a stunning view. You can see the long slopes from the town of Dolný Kubín itself, and skiing on them is truly worth it. Orava is famous for its piles of snow, and you will enjoy plenty of it at Kubínska hoľa. Add to that the magnificent views of the Chočské vrchy mountains, as well as the Západné Tatry and Nízke Tatry mountains, and you would be hard-pressed to find better skiing.

The highest point of the ski resort is at an altitude of 1400 meters. The southern orientation of the slopes is a surprise, because despite the constant sunshine, the snow lasts surprisingly long. The modern artificial snowmaking system also helps, and the ski season is guaranteed to extend into the spring.

The Kubínska hoľa ski resort is among the larger ones in Slovakia. You will find 14 km of slopes of all difficulty levels here. You can ski with small children, complete beginners, intermediate skiers, sports skiers, as well as freeride enthusiasts looking for pristine powder. It is an incredibly complex resort where you can truly find everything. And as if that were not enough, add another 10 km of groomed tracks for cross-country skiing, and you have the resort of your dreams.

The resort's greatest pride is its second-longest slope, where you can try out all possible inclines. It leads through blue, red, and black sections. Its length is an impressive almost 3 km, and riding it in one go requires a dose of strength and skill. Yes, that was only the second-longest slope. The absolute longest one is also suitable for beginners; it has a gentler incline and is up to 4 km long. Some ski resorts do not even reach that length, and here we are still talking about just one slope. Your comfort will be taken care of by 8 lifts and 2 chairlifts.

Artificial snowmaking, night skiing with a view of the illuminated Dolný Kubín at night, snack bars, ski schools, restaurants, various obstacles in the children's area, or a snowboard school are a matter of course. Kubínska hoľa is prepared for a large influx of skiers, and its capacity of up to 9000 visitors per hour is sufficient. Thanks to the long kilometers of slopes, you do not have to worry about any congestion.

Given that Kubínska hoľa towers over one of the most important towns in all of Orava, you will have absolutely no problem finding accommodation. From cheap tourist hostels and typical mountain wooden cottages to more luxurious guesthouses, you will find everything here. Prepare your skis and head out. Ski Park Kubínska hoľa offers world-class skiing at affordable prices.

You surely know the ski resorts in Vysoké Tatry, Donovaly, and Jasná. These are large and well-known resorts, but they are not the only ones. You can also find many treasures and beautiful corners in smaller or less visited locations. If your wandering shoes lead you to the heart of Orava, try skiing at Ski park Racibor.

You will find Ski park Racibor just a stone's throw from Oravský hrad. It lies only about 1 km from Oravský Podzámok, a village home to one of our most famous castles. The resort lies in the middle of beautiful and pristine Orava nature. It is located in the Oravská Magura mountain range, and the highest point of the resort is at an altitude of approximately 750 meters above sea level. Its location in northern Slovakia in Orava brings abundant snow and guarantees good skiing even at lower altitudes.

Do you think this is just some tiny, secluded resort that has nothing to offer? Racibor offers up to 7 km of slopes. Even some more renowned Slovak resorts cannot boast such a total length. The resort caters to a wide spectrum of skiers, offering a balanced mix of easy and intermediate slopes.

To ensure you can ski to your heart's content, the resort features 2 ski lifts, 1 chairlift, and naturally a children's lift for the little ones. Alongside it, there is a ski school that can introduce you, or perhaps just the youngest ones, to the beauty of skiing. The mentioned chairlift is over one kilometer long, ensuring that even more demanding skiers will not miss out. Right next to the chairlift runs the longest slope of the resort, reaching a length of 1,600 meters. The resort has built an artificial snowmaking system, though not covering the entire area, it can still guarantee a full-fledged skiing experience.

It was not designed only for skiers, but also for snowboarders and cross-country skiers. For the former, there is a lift in the upper part of the resort with a snowboard park. Cross-country skiers will appreciate the cross-country trails in the immediate vicinity of the resort. Racibor truly strives to accommodate everyone.

Of course, the resort also comes with complete amenities, such as snack bars, a restaurant, and parking lots. When you get hungry, have no fear. You will get to taste various Orava specialties here.

You might visit Racibor for just a day, but if you wish to stay longer, you will need accommodation. Finding that in Orava is no problem. There are many cottages near the slopes, or in nearby Oravský Podzámok, you can find plenty of private accommodations and guesthouses. You will be close not only to the snow and skiing, but also to history. Take advantage of this unique combination.
