SK, Orava – Ski Zábava Hruštín
The not particularly large ski resort of Ski Zábava Hruštín, located on the northern side of Oravska Magura at an altitude of 900 to 1150 meters, did not disappoint us this year either. Artificial snow has also helped to a large extent. Although it is cold throughout the whole of Slovakia, there is enough snow. If you already know it, you will be pleasantly surprised by the reconstructed journey from the village of Hruštín of the same name to the ski resort, which offers comprehensive services including accommodation, boarding, ski instructors or playground for the little ones.
