British newspaper The Telegraph once ranked it among the top ten ski resorts in Eastern Europe, primarily due to its excellent landscaped ski trails, good entertainment and large selection of hotels and private accommodation options. The ski resort itself covers an area of 62 km of ski trails and routes arranged to cater for both alpine and Nordic skiing, which are connected via an excellent system of aerial and surface ski lifts. As much as 97 per cent of this ski resort is covered by an artificial snow system. However, ski slopes are not the only valuable assets of this jewel of Serbia. The unique natural beauty of Kopaonik is the very reason why it was declared a national park in 1981. This place was also visited on numerous occasions by the famous Josif Pančić, Serbia’s world-renowned botanist. He is even buried at the top of Kopaonik, in a mausoleum in a coffin made of the type of spruce that bears his name. Ovde uvek ima snega Kad je reč o skijanju, Kopaonik je turistička destinacija broj jedan u Srbiji, ali i šire. Britanski Telegraf ga je jednom prilikom uvrstio među 10 najboljih skijališta u istočnoj Evropi, i to pre svega zbog odlično uređenih ski-staza, dobrog provoda i velikog izbora hotelskog i privatnog smeštaja. Sam skijaški centar prostire se na 62 kilometra staza i ski-puteva uređenih za alpsko i nordijsko skijanje. Čak 97 odsto skijališta pokriveno je sistemom za veštačko osnežavanje, ali nisu samo skijaške staze vrednost ovog dragulja Srbije. Baš zbog svojih jedinstvenih prirodnih lepota, Kopaonik je 1981. proglašen nacionalnim parkom. Ovom mestu se više puta vraćao i čuveni Josif Pančić, naš botaničar svetskog glasa. On je na vrhu Kopaonika i sahranjen, i to u mauzoleju, u kovčegu od Pančićeve omorike. metara visok je Pančićev vrh, najviša tačka Kopaonika metres high is Pančićev vrh, the highest point of Kopaonik 2.017 iStock / Kisa_Markiza
