Where to go on a trip Moštenica

When looking for a ski resort for beginners, you have surely encountered one major problem. Either such resorts are too small, have few easy slopes, or are too crowded. Today, we will introduce you to one of the most famous resorts in all of Slovakia, focused primarily on beginner skiers and families with children. Welcome to PARK SNOW in Donovaly!

Donovaly offers excellent snow conditions, beautiful views, high-quality services, and a number of slopes mainly for beginners. Where can you find them? They lie directly on the main route between Ružomberok and Banská Bystrica. The drive through the fairy-tale snowy landscape will get you in the mood for skiing even before you arrive at the destination.

At first glance, the local architecture, which resembles the Alps, will catch your eye. Beautiful hotels and guesthouses, among which hundreds of satisfied skiers are skiing. And soon, you will join them too. The resort spreads out at an altitude of 915 to 1,402 meters above sea level, thanks to which a long ski season is guaranteed.

What do Donovaly offer? Up to 11 km of slopes, 1 chairlift, 1 combined chairlift with several cabins, and up to 14 lifts. The fact that the resort is focused on less experienced skiers is evidenced by the fact that approximately three-quarters of the entire resort are marked in blue, i.e., the easiest slopes.

You will spend time with children on the side south of the road, where the least demanding tracks are located. When you crave something steeper, the slopes on the north side of the road leading from Nová hoľa are for the more demanding. They are marked in red, and you will even find a 100-meter-long black section here. The combined cable car, together with the lift at the summit, ensures short queues, and you will be able to enjoy a descent on the longest slope in the resort, measuring up to 2,200 meters.

Since Donovaly is focused on families with children and people who want to have fun, you will find a children's Fun Park here, which is the largest in Central Europe. It offers slalom courses, fairy-tale characters, various obstacles for the little ones, and up to 9 conveyor belts. All this under the supervision of experienced instructors. The Riders Park is also popular, where every freerider will enjoy themselves. Jumps, professional obstacles, easy jumps, and pleasant music from the speakers will get the blood flowing in the veins of every experienced skier. After a dose of adrenaline, you will calm down with relaxed night skiing. Or on a dog sled, while bowling, or paragliding. There are truly enough possible activities here.

Donovaly offers countless free beds in beautiful hotels and pleasant guesthouses directly in the middle of the slopes. There are cottages, tourist hostels, and modern wellness centers here. It only depends on your preferences. Donovaly will please not only the body but also the spirit.
