Kosovo, the
newest born state in Europe, is surrounded by high mountains which favors winter
tourism, and skiing during wintertime.
Rugova
Mountains, part of Albanian Alps have several peaks like: Boga, Hajla, Rusolia,
Shtedimi, Mountains Strellci, Koprivniku, Mountains Lumbardh, Rrasa Zog,
Gjeravica, Peak RUPES, Leqinati, etc., reaching an altitude up to 2656 meters.
Skiing centre
in Boga lately is equipped with a ski-lift
1000 meters long and has facilities for different ski races national and
international.
In Sharr
Mountains, there are these ski regions like: Brezovica, Royal Meadows, Skarpa, Radesha, Restelica, Lybeteni,
Piribegu, black Maja, etc., with an altitude up to 2522 meters.
Brezovica Ski Centre, it is
the main ski center in Kosovo. The resort, situated between 1,700 and
2,500 meters above sea level. It offers excellent weather and snow conditions,
as well as long ski seasons from November to February. Assets of Brezovica
include three hotels with 680 rooms, two restaurants and nine ski lifts with
the capacity to transport 10,000 skiers per hour. Through its proximity to
Prishtina Airport (60 km) and Skopje Airport (70 km), the resort is a possible
destination for international tourists and has the potential to become the most
favorable winter tourism destination in the Balkans.
Even
Mountains of Shala of Bajgora are quite
rich with trails ideal for skiing. So
Kosovo has really great potential for winter tourism.
Hope that Kosovo will turn
very soon from a new born state to a new born tourist destination, every
season.
