Ski Tour

Amazing scenery contrasting a snowy white mountain overlooking the enormous surface with all the tons of blue color of the only Ohrid Lake. The tour starts at about 1650m, where we have organized transport by car or van. This road is not cleaned regularly, so the ski tour might start 100m lower in conditions of heavy snow on the road.

We will pass through an epic beach forest with moderately steep trails. After a 40-minute walk, we make a break at the exit of the forest, where, usually, in good weather conditions, we can start having a nice view of Ohrid Lake. As we go higher, the views are getting more and more breathtaking. The tour continues through a narrow gorge to come up to a viewpoint and eventually a second short break before continuing towards the summit following a bit steeper trail for another 1:15 min.

The snow conditions here are changeable, and the proximity of the lake makes the snow structure different from other mountains, still enjoyable for all ski touring, telemark, and freeride addicts. It is also suitable for snowshoeing.

The descent can depend on the weather and snow conditions. One option is to ski down a long meadow facing the lake, orientation W - SW. Beautiful for late afternoon sunset runs in winter and early spring. Another option for more extreme riders is short but steep couloirs facing N or connecting a longer but less steep 4.5km line with a 655m altitude difference.
