ON SERB I A’ S SNOW-COVERED PEAKS Everything’s ready for awinter adventure With sub-zero temperatures, gourmet cuisine and hot local rakija brandy, Serbia is a wonderful destination for this time of year. Check it out for yourself! Withpristine forests, lakesandriver canyons covered in snow, easily accessible ski slopes for all categories of skier, wonderful accommodation offers and services, Serbia really should be your choice this winter. Kopaonik is perhaps the country’s most famous and complete ski centre, but some of Serbia’s other mountains could prove to be a better choice, depending on various factors. Apart from this, Serbia’s ski resorts are ideal places to celebrate World Snow Day, which is marked every third Sunday in January (this year on the 15th) and was declared by the International Ski Federation. In creating this holiday, the FIS’s idea was to increase the participation of children in winter sports like skiing and snowboarding, but actually to enable families to together enjoy the magic of winter. Imagine one huge global snow-fest, which is celebrated worldwide on the same weekend: that’s thevisionunderpinningWorldSnowDay. And it is precisely in the glory of snow that we are taking you to Serbia’s snow-covered mountains this January, where you can enjoy yourself like a child even if you’ve long since grown up... KOPAONIK The sunny or silvery mountain – Kopaonik’s nicknames already provide a hint at the beauty of this largest ski centre in Serbia. It boasts more than 30 tailored slopes for alpine and Nordic skiing, stretching over an area ofmore than60kilometres. All ski runs onKopaonik are served by a system of more than 20 ski lifts. Both professional skiers and amateurs can find slopes to suit their level, while ski nurseries are provided for children. Another of its attractions is the option of night skiing, which is available on three of its ski lanes, while on certain days during the week it is turned into a sledging run. Another piece of good news is that Kopaonik’s artificial snow systems are working at full throttle. British newspaper The Telegraph once included Kopaonik on its list of the top 10 ski resorts in Eastern Europe, and thatwas primarilydue to itswonderfully landscaped ski runs, good entertainment and nightlife, and a large choice of hotels and private accommodation.
