Ski resorts Spiš

Spiš is perhaps among the richest regions of our beautiful Slovakia. What wealth does it hide? You will find many cultural treasures here, such as the majestic Spišský hrad castle or historical Levoča. There are also many natural beauties dominated by Slovenský raj, one of our most popular national parks. And right next to it, you can enjoy top-quality skiing.

We have in mind the village of Hnilčík, located in close proximity to Slovenský raj. You will find it approximately 18 km south of Spišská Nová Ves, the cultural center of Spiš. Hnilčík is characterized by beautiful surroundings and lies deep in the mountains, which are extremely attractive mainly for tourists. Thanks to its rugged terrain, it also favors skiers, who will come into their own in the local area of Ráztoky, at the Mraznica ski resort.

The Mraznica ski resort is a year-round popular recreational center. In winter, its gates welcome the broadest range of skiers, as it is designed for everyone—from absolute beginners to active sports skiers.

The Ski Mraznica complex spans an altitude range of 705 to 1035 meters above sea level. This elevation difference guarantees excellent skiing even for demanding skiers. In the lower part of the resort, there is a short, approximately 100-meter-long slope for beginner skiers and children. The gentle incline will not scare anyone, and learning the art of skiing will be fun.

Intermediate skiers will enjoy themselves on the main slope, where you can experience a relaxed yet brisk ride. Advanced skiers have also been kept in mind, with a black section of the trail prepared for them. It represents a challenge and an experience especially for those who feel even better on skis than off them.

Comfortable transport within the resort is provided by a trio of ski lifts. One of them is a children's lift located in the lower part of the resort for beginner skiers. The length of the local slopes is also pleasing. The longest of them measures up to 1,100 meters, which is truly a generous portion of great skiing. The total length of all trails is just under 2 km.

At the Mraznica ski resort near the village of Hnilčík, you will find more than just high-quality skiing conditions. Many additional services at the resort ensure an even better holiday experience. Naturally, ski equipment rental and service are available. In close proximity to the lifts is another attraction: an ice rink equipped with artificial lighting. After skiing, you can play hockey here at your leisure or simply go ice skating. For cross-country skiing enthusiasts, several interesting cross-country loops are available, one of which passes along the edge of the slope. Add to all this a stylish tea room located right by the lift with a wide selection of teas and meals, and you have a great tip for a winter holiday.

The Mraznica sports and recreation area satisfies everyone when it comes to quality accommodation as well. Right by the lift is a stylish mountain cabin that welcomes families with children as well as couples eager for a skiing getaway. A bit further, in the village of Hnilčík, there are further accommodation options in private rentals or cottages. This is affordable yet cozy accommodation that will satisfy anyone seeking peace and relaxation in beautiful mountain surroundings.

During your holiday in the area of Hnilecké vrchy, you can visit the pleasant ski resort of Krečno, which is situated in close proximity to the village of Nálepkovo. Its slopes are intended mainly for undemanding and beginner skiers who are just getting acquainted with this sport. The environment here is ideal for families with children, where parents can pass on their experience to their little ones without waiting in long lines and crowds.

A simple lift will take you to an altitude of 623 m above sea level, and the 450 m long slope has only a gentle incline. Parents will certainly be pleased with the children's lift, which is fully at the disposal of young skiers. There is also the option of evening skiing, during which the entire slope is well illuminated. The grounds are often used by schools for ski courses because they find comfort here in securing full services including accommodation, meals, drink regime, and ski passes.

Cross-country skiing enthusiasts will not miss out either, as there are regularly maintained cross-country trails winding through the landscape over a length of several kilometers. You can refresh yourself at the snack bar, where you can also purchase something small to eat. The ski resort is fully dependent on natural snow conditions, as it does not possess snowmaking technology.

The location and proximity to Slovenský raj guarantee a quality holiday in Slovakia. You will certainly have no problem finding accommodation near Krečno as well. Just head to our portal and choose one of the cottages in Hnilčík. Visit Banský skanzen and show your children how demanding the work of miners was. History lovers will certainly not pass by Kaštieľ v Markušovciach and Markušovský hrad. Or take advantage of the day to visit Múzeum Spiša.

Vysoké Tatry are undoubtedly the most majestic and, for many, the most beautiful mountain range. Skiing with a view of Vysoké Tatry is every skier's dream, but it is not that simple. One of the most beautiful views of the entire mountain range is offered by Resort Levočská dolina (formerly known as Ski Centre Levoča). Naturally, you will find this ski resort near the town of Levoča. It is not directly in the town center; you will have to go another 6 km to the borough of Levočská dolina. Here, a ski resort awaits you, in which every skier will find something to love.

Levočská dolina is famous precisely for its beautiful surroundings and the ski resort Ski Centre Levoča. Levočské vrchy are relatively rich in snow, thanks to which skiing here lasts until the beginning of spring. This is also contributed to by the fact that the entire resort features a modern artificial snowmaking system.

The altitude of the resort is 634 to 876 meters above sea level. Here you will find 2 slopes designed for beginners, 1 intermediate slope, and 1 black, the most demanding slope. The slopes of this ski resort are suitable for the widest spectrum of skiers. Beginners can take advantage of the services of a ski kindergarten or a school with qualified instructors. With friends, you can enjoy the intermediate slope or the black one, which is a real challenge even for the best skiers.

Ski Centre Levoča offers approximately 3 km of slopes served by 4 ski lifts. One of them serves the purposes of instruction in the ski kindergarten. All slopes are meticulously maintained and reach top quality. If you do not have enough of the snow-covered plains of Levočské vrchy during the day, nothing prevents you from visiting the resort during evening skiing.

The standard amenities of the resort include a rental and storage room for ski or snowboard equipment, refreshments, and a restaurant. Interesting activities in Levočská dolina include the option of horseback riding or sightseeing flights over the Tatras from the nearby Poprad airport. The view of the snow-capped peaks of the world's smallest high mountains is an unforgettable experience for a lifetime.

Levočské vrchy are a popular mountain range for cross-country skiers. They have kilometers of groomed cross-country trails to choose from. Since it was a military area in the past, there are plenty of roads and paths that are suitable for more adventurous cross-country skiers.

The town of Levoča itself offers many attractions, perhaps the most famous being the altar of Majster Pavol z Levoče. In the immediate vicinity, you must not miss a visit to Spišský hrad.

Right under the slopes in Levočská dolina, you will find apartments for everyone. You can also choose from guest houses, hotels, or private accommodations in the aforementioned Levoča. Everyone will find their accommodation here, not only demanding customers but also unpretentious ones preferring simple and budget-friendly accommodation.

Do you know the Slovenský raj? Surely you do. And how about skiing in it? Just a stone's throw from its border lies the village of Poráč. What is it famous for? You will find it in the eponymous Poráčska dolina, while driving through which you will have a blissful feeling as if you were at the edge of the world. Perfect relaxation and a feeling of freedom. In winter, you can enjoy it on skis as well.

The Poráč Park ski resort itself is located between the villages of Poráč and Slovinky in the Poráčska dolina. The best access is from the direction of the east from Krompachy and from the west from Spišská Nová Ves.

This pleasant ski resort is characterized by a family atmosphere where everyone knows everyone. Yet you will find the most important thing here: ski slopes of all categories. Two ski slopes are intended for beginners. They will appreciate the gentle slope and sufficient length of the slopes, which forgives many mistakes. An ideal terrain for learning not only for small ones, but also for big ones. You will also find a pair of steeper ski slopes here. One of them is for intermediates and the last one for the best skiers, who are not intimidated even by the black color with which it is marked. A pair of ski lifts takes care of all these ski slopes.

You can enjoy the slopes of Poráč Park every year depending on the snow cover, most often between December and March. A total of 3 km of ski slopes will be at your service. Cross-country skiing trails also run through the surrounding mountains. These are not groomed, which is why they are more suitable for more adventurous cross-country skiers. The nearby mountains are also exceptionally suitable for tourists. Just borrow ski-mountaineering equipment or snowshoes and nothing prevents you from leaving the rushed world behind.

Additional services at the resort that will make your moments on the slope more pleasant are a matter of course. During skiing, you can refresh yourself in the buffet or warm up in the bar. There is a restaurant, ski service, ski rental, and ski storage.

Considering the resort's focus on families and beginners as well, you can use the services of the ski kindergarten for children or the ski school for others. Qualified instructors can handle even the biggest timber, and after a couple of days, you will already be able to say: “I am a skier!”

After skiing, the fun does not end. Rent skates and head out to the nearby ice rink. It is up to you whether you will just skate around and talk with acquaintances or dive into the whirlpool of a hockey match.

Poráč is an attractive village that offers a pleasant ski resort in winter, and tourist and cycling trails in summer. You will find plenty of small cottages, tourist hostels here, or you can look around for some of the local private accommodations. Escape from the mundane and rushed reality for at least a few days. The Poráčska dolina will gladly provide you with shelter.

Skiers in Slovakia often bypass the eastern part of the country. Perhaps they don't even know what they are missing out on. The pristine nature, somewhat hidden from the eyes of tourists, offers something for them as well. Perhaps the best ski resort they can visit here is Relax Center Plejsy.

The ski resort has a more than fitting name, as the services in the resort offer great opportunities for active relaxation. Where can you find all this? Just a short distance from Krompachy. You can get here, for example, from Spišské Podhradie. The resort is spread over the northern slopes of Krompašský vrch. Thanks to its northern orientation, there is always plenty of snow at Plejsy.

Relax Center Plejsy is not just any ordinary ski resort. It is one of those larger and modern skiing centers. Its high level is also evidenced by the organization of international skiing events, such as the European Cup skiing races.

The resort offers more than sufficient elevation gain. It ranges between 470 – 912 meters above sea level. But do you know what is absolute best about Plejsy? That all groups of skiers can enjoy skiing here. You will find slopes for beginners, intermediate skiers, and even total experts. Most of the slopes are designated for intermediate skiers. The resort is therefore suitable for family skiing as well as for every skier looking to refine their skills.

The Plejsy resort offers up to 9 km of slopes. Its pride is the main slope, which contains all levels of difficulty you can encounter. At the beginning, it has the steepest incline, later transitioning into medium difficulty, and the final section has a gentle slope suitable even for beginners. The resort's longest slope is also above average, measuring up to 2,500 meters. Up to 5 ski lifts will take care of your comfort while skiing.

Other additional services at Plejsy are at a European level: plenty of parking spaces, snack bars, a restaurant, a comprehensive artificial snowmaking system, and floodlighting for night skiing. Thanks to this, you will be skiing late into the evening and until early spring. The average ski season lasts up to 123 days, proving that you can ski here for a really long time.

The surroundings of the resort offer options for interesting trips, whether to the nearby Slovenský raj or to the aforementioned Spišské Podhradie. History, culture, nature, and sports enthusiasts will all find something to enjoy here. Cross-country skiing enthusiasts haven't been forgotten either. You will find up to 11 km of cross-country trails here where you can train from morning to evening.

Plejsy is full of life, especially in winter. The high number of tourists requires broad accommodation capacities. These are available here in various quality levels and price ranges. From modern guesthouses and beautiful cottages to pleasant and quiet private accommodations in nearby villages. In addition, right next to the ski lifts, Hotel Plejsy will ensure maximum comfort during your stay. So head on over for a great skiing trip.

Northern Slovakia, especially its eastern part, is unfairly bypassed and often unnoticed. Even though you might not think so, there is a very large number of attractions located here. Whether it is Pieninský národný park (Pieniny National Park), the castle in Stará Ľubovňa, Dunajec, or Kúpele Vyšné Ružbachy.

And it is precisely to Vyšné Ružbachy that we invite you today. It is not only about the famous spa, but also about a surprisingly comprehensive ski resort. You will find the well-known village a few kilometers west of the town of Stará Ľubovňa, near the main road connecting this town with Poprad.

Despite the fact that Vyšné Ružbachy became famous mainly as a spa town, they also offer other attractions. In winter, the biggest attraction is definitely Ski park Vyšné Ružbachy.

Do you think that in the case of Vyšné Ružbachy and its ski resort, it is just a certain addition? You would be surprised, but that is not the case at all. The total length of the slopes reaches approximately 4,000 meters, which is definitely not a little.

The resort is mainly focused on less demanding and intermediate skiers. Most of the slopes are designed for beginners. They are marked in blue, and in northeastern Slovakia, you would have a very hard time finding a resort more suitable for ski novices. If you add qualified ski instructors to that, you can be almost certain that you will leave Vyšné Ružbachy as a fully-fledged skier.

The slopes of Vyšné Ružbachy are also very suitable for families with children. While the children learn on the blue, least demanding slopes, parents can enjoy true snowy ecstasy. The resort offers two long slopes marked in red, the classification of which is intermediate. Better skiers will also enjoy themselves here and experience truly relaxing skiing in a beautiful environment.

The resort extends over an altitude range of 624–808 meters above sea level. It is equipped with an artificial snowmaking system that ensures enough snow even during a weaker winter.

In Vyšné Ružbachy, you will forget about long lines for ski lifts. There are up to 5 of them here, ensuring smooth operation in the resort. In addition, ski rental, a snack bar with great treats, and even the option of night skiing are a matter of course. A downhill ride under artificial lighting is an experience every skier should have.

Vyšné Ružbachy is visited not only in winter, but also in summer. Therefore, there is no shortage of accommodation options here. There are stylish guesthouses, some of them right below the slopes. In the village, there are also other accommodation options in the form of private rentals and cozy cottages. Skiing in Vyšné Ružbachy will fulfill the expectations of even more demanding skiers.

An excellent family atmosphere prevails on the slopes of the Ski areálu pod Bufarkom. Where can you find such a place? Well, in Zamagurí in the village of Spišské Hanušovce. The ski resort, whose base station is located at an altitude of 650 m a. s. l., is intended primarily for families with children and all those who are just starting to dedicate themselves to this wonderful winter sport.

The area is also known under the name of the Gemza ski resort, and you can ski here on three easy-difficulty slopes. Smooth transport in the resort is ensured by 2 F10-type ski lifts with lengths of 450 and 160 m. Both are intended for beginners and undemanding skiers who want to enjoy a peaceful skiing experience. An interesting fact is that the local lifts, which had been decaying for a long time, were put back into operation by a retiree, Mr. Jozef Gemza. He repaired the lifts, purchased the necessary equipment, and skiers can once again be seen on the hill that used to stand empty. The ski resort caters mainly to children and youth, regularly organizing ski courses and various interesting competitions or races. Children can train their skiing proficiency here, and the youngest ones can slide down on sleds or plastic snow sliders.

Take your significant other for night skiing and enjoy romance in pairs. The slopes are regularly groomed by a snowcat, and artificial snowmaking is available when needed. Sanitary facilities, a ski rental, and a free parking lot are a matter of course. In case hunger or thirst surprises you on the track, refresh yourself in the buffet directly on the slope.

After a super day of skiing, warm up in a romantic cottage directly in the village.

Welcome to the beautiful Pieniny mountain range, in the middle of which lies the tourist-popular village of Litmanová. It is right here where you will find the ski resort Litmanová Resort, suitable for children and adults alike. Once a continuous layer of snow falls, not only recreational enthusiasts but also demanding winter sports lovers will find something to their liking here. The slopes are artificially snowed, which means the winter season can fully begin at sub-zero temperatures. At your disposal, you have a choice of four ski lifts that will take you up to one of the total of five slopes with various inclines.

The shortest slope with a length of 150 m and an elevation gain of 20 meters is for children. The Žiacka slope serves for instruction during ski training camps. Two other slopes with a length of 400 m will be appreciated by more advanced skiers. The difficulty of one is medium and the other is hard. The longest is called Fakľovka and offers the option of skiing along a total length of 1,000 m. The most demanding skiers love riding on virgin, un-groomed snow during freeride skiing or snowboarding. Lovers of cross-country skiing will not be disappointed either, which you can enjoy when there is enough natural snow, for example, on the ridge circuit of Fakľovka.

A huge advantage in this resort is the option of illuminated slopes, and thus evening skiing. However, you will appreciate the views of the surrounding nature during beautiful sunny days. In the resort, it is possible to rent ski equipment or use the ski service. Many will refine their technique or learn it in the ski school or snowboarding school. You can also warm up in the snack bar on the slope or in a Goral-style teahouse near the resort. All you need to do is plan a multi-day ski trip and take advantage of accommodation near the Litmanová Resort.

After parking your car in the parking lot, in addition to fantastic skiing, you can undertake a slightly more demanding hike along the ridges of Pieniny. Under good natural conditions, a cross-country trail leads through the ski resort. The experience of this sport is thus enhanced. Even in winter, a visit to the Stredoveký vojenský tábor is interesting. You can warm up on the premises of Ľubovniansky hrad, where you will see its interesting exhibition. However, it is good to keep in mind that accommodation in Litmanová fills up very quickly and it is necessary to find and book the best option in advance. The complete offer can be found on our portal.
