Inaugurated in 1964, a four-hour drive from Belgrade (many of whose sportier residents flock here on winter weekends), Kopaonik is located in the mountain range of the same name, with a base elevation of 1,770 m (5,810 ft) rising to 2,017m (6,617 ft). Today the 55km (34 mi.) of runs for all levels (though nothing particularly steep) are served by 24 modern lifts. There’s a snow park for extreme skiers and snowboarders, as well as an annual “Big Snow” music festival the last week of March. And as for après-ski, well let’s just say the nightlife can be Slavically “boisterous”.
