SKI PARK Kubinska hola

SKI PARK Kubínska hoľa is one of the most visited ski resorts in Slovakia. The area's 14 kilometres of slopes extend between 720 and 1,390 metres above sea level. It scores especially with a great panorama of the surrounding landscape Orava as well as the Tatra Mountains and the Big and Small Fatra.

The slopes are located on the southern side in the Oravská Magura mountains. As they all lead back into the valley in the same direction, the ski area is manageable and suitable especially for families. For little skiers the base area is just right. Here you will find the KIDS PARK. It is separated from the rest of the ski area and is equipped with a ski lift and magic carpet. Thanks to the parcours and snowtubing track, fun is guaranteed. For the first somewhat longer downhill runs, the slopes around the two shorter T-bar lifts are ideal.

If you want to explore the rest of the area, you should try the red marked slopes. With the two tugs on the left or the chairlift on the right, you can go uphill in two sections. At the highest point at 1,396 metres, winter sports enthusiasts can then choose between several long runs back down to the valley. The Turistická convinces with a length of more than four kilometres, which makes it the longest run of the ski area. It has both blue and red marked sections. Meanwhile, more experienced skiers can take the Pretekárska Super G (length 2.9 kilometres) or Pretekárska II. (length 2.7 kilometres), which also offer difficult passages. In addition, a freeride zone awaits professionals on the Pretekárska zjazd downhill run.

In addition to this range of slopes, SKI PARK Kubínska hoľa also has something for all freestylers. The snow park even has its own lift. Beginners can try their hand at jumps between two and ten metres, while advanced skiers can try jumps between seven and ten metres. Further obstacles on 400 meters are C-Box, Straight Box or Street Rail.

Close to KIDS PARK is the self-service restaurant Orava, which scores with a large selection of dishes. The Bufet Kubínska hoľa is known for its grill specialities. Culinary experts are in the right place in the self-service restaurant Hotel Green.

The longest ski slope of the ski resort, Turistická, with a length of more than four kilometres, should not be missed.
