A hidden gem in the Balkans, where untouched powder meets alpine charm.
Hidden in the Sharr Mountains near the border with North Macedonia, Brezovica Ski Resort is Kosovo’s top winter destination — a snowy alpine village offering stunning scenery, affordable slopes, and a laid-back vibe you won’t find in crowded European resorts.
From December to April, this place transforms into a Balkan ski paradise with fresh powder, thick pine forests, and epic mountain panoramas. But even in summer, Brezovica turns into a lush retreat, ideal for hiking, biking, and escaping the city heat.

9 ski lifts and over 15 km of slopes
Terrain for all levels – from beginner runs to off-piste challenges
