Kopaonik Sneeuwverwachting

Despite its modest elevation and vertical drop, Kopaonik is a fantastic all-around resort. The terrain is very forgiving and welcoming for beginners, as well as enthusiasts who enjoy venturing beyond the pistes. As a group of 10 snowboarders, we particularly enjoyed the runs centered around the summit of Velika Gobelja (runs 11, 12, and 13), where there are numerous options for tree runs. While night skiing can be crowded with ski lessons, it's a great opportunity to get a few bonus runs in when it's cold and less crowded. However, a word of caution about the prevalence of public smoking in Serbia: with around 37% of adults being regular smokers, the pervasive smell of cigarette smoke in public places can make the experience quite unpleasant for non-smokers. On a positive note, the tourist office staff were very friendly and accommodating. We highly recommend Planet Bike for equipment rental, they even gave us a discount because it was raining. Also recommend the Green Ski bar at the top of lift 7 for its good food an excellent service.
