In the winter months (December to March) Slovakia turns into a paradise for winter sports. One of the most popular winter sports that gains increasing popularity each year is cross country skiing, or Nordic skiing if you like. Throughout Slovakia there are several good resorts where you can enjoy this popular winter sport. 

One of them is the holiday resort of Strbske Pleso, the highest mountain village in Slovakia. It is here where you will find the mountain lake of the same name, Strbskee Pleso and the nearby cross country ski stadium which provides good conditions for both beginners and intermediate skiers.

Strbske Pleso hosted the 19th World Winter Universiade and has been organising various professional and amateur competitions. The tracks are open for the public, and the total length is 25 km.

Strbske Pleso provides all you need including hotels of all kinds, both modern and traditional, Slovak restaurants, bars and of course ski hire shops if you don’t have your own skis. Strbske Pleso has it all.
