    If you don't mind a bit of outdated accommodations you'r very lucky, but even some of the more budget and cheap accommodations in Kopaonik are quite modern.
    And for those seeking more glamour and luxury try out Kopaonik's most luxurious hotel, Hotel Grand Kopaonik.
  2. All is within easy reach                                                                                                                    For starters, the fact that everything is on your doorstep. There's no mucking about with shuttle buses to get to the slopes; everything is a short stroll away. This is just as well, given the long distance from the Serbian capital. Arriving here after a four-hour transfer from Belgrade (some take five hours), many visitors are relieved to find that it only takes a few minutes to drop your bags at the hotel and get started.
  3. A beginners paradise
    There are 23 lifts here, which give you access to a good spread of easy blues and cruisy reds - all of which will have most beginners and intermediates smiling. Plus there are English speaking instructors.
  4. Kopaonik's Climate
    The Sunny Mountain is a name given rightfully to Kopaonik due to the fact that there are about 200 sunny days per year. It is covered with snow starting from the end of November until May. The ski centre has over 40 km long tracks for alpine skiing and about 20 km long tracks for nordic skiing. For fans of night skiing, there is a well-lit track „Malo Jezero“. In case of bad weather, there is a possibility of covering a part of the tracks with artificial snow. All tracks are well connected with a ski lift system with over 27 500 skiers an hour capacity.
    Kopaonik Paraglading: because of a highly jagged terrain, there are ideal conditions for paragliding.
  5. Serbian nightlife
    Kopaonik can hold its own when it comes to nightlife, too. One of the more interesting bars,Kortina Ski Club, where sweat dripped from the ceiling as Serbia's bright and beautiful strutted their stuff to a selection of Euro-pop "classics". If flailing elbows are not your thing you could try the more understated Royal Bar, where you're more likely to get a seat (and a drink).
