Banska-Stiavnica resort information

A superb smaller ski resort found in the Banská Bystrica region of Slovakia, the Salamandra Resort – Banska-Stiavnica is the perfect destination for families and novice skiers or snowboarders to get to grips with the snow. Between elevations of 579m and 850m, and with 1.6km of slopes on total, visitors and residents can expect gentle descents and easy surfaces to practice on.

In fact, 0.2km of space is dedicated to easy slopes and 1.4km to intermediate slopes, which throws beginners in at the proverbial deep end when they hit the slopes for the first time. There are 2 ski lifts to help guests navigate to the best area for skiing, and the slopes also have artificial snow making capabilities in case the snowfall hasn’t been up to scratch during the night.

There is an abundance of small eateries, cafés and bars to choose from for sustenance or après ski of an evening. They include the 4sochy Café, Vinocentrum for some delicious wine, and Monarchia Restaurant for a tasty lunch.
