The Ski Resort

The ski resort Donovaly is located in the heart of Slovakia. 15 ski lifts take winter sports enthusiasts to the slopes, which are located between 916 and 1,402 metres above sea level. Beginners can explore the five kilometres of blue marked slopes. They are mainly located in the southern part of the ski area. Those who are already a bit more experienced can explore the north part of the Snow Park (Misuty), where almost six kilometres of red marked slopes and a 100 metre long black marked slope lie. Seven kilometres of the total of 17 runs can be artificially covered with snow.

The little ones are in good hands at the children's Funpark in the Mistríky area. Kids from the age of three are taught by the teams of the ski schools. Daily highlight is the snow show at 12 o'clock with many games, competitions and a ride with the ski train. Of course, the mascots of the ski area are also there. The Burton Riglet Park is a mini snowboard park where small boarders can learn snowboarding with the help of suitable obstacles.

The big freestylers can show the latest moves in the Riders Park. Floodlight lovers get their money's worth in Donovaly. Because daily from 16 to 21 o'clock departures with a total length of two kilometers are lit up for night skiing.

Off the piste there is a lot to do in Donovaly. Paragliding allows you to admire the magnificent surroundings of the ski area from the air. If you don't like to float in high air, you can race down into the valley on the toboggan run. A ride on a snowmobile also promises fun and action. Ice skaters can prove their talent on the ice rink at the valley station and there are various cross-country trails to choose from. If you prefer it quiet and romantic, you can take a ride in a horse-drawn sleigh and let yourself be drawn through the winter landscape snuggled in warmly. Donovaly also offers the possibility of a social bowling evening.
