Orava Snow
About the area
Orava Snow is a small hill in the Slovak Tatras and Fatra region: about 6 km of pistes, of which 53% are blue or green (roughly 4 km), 2 km red and 1 km black (11%). That mix, plus three short easy runs next to a lift base, makes it workable for learners, though the share of black terrain means beginners should check where they are heading. Experts will run out of options quickly — the longest vertical on a single run is only 154 m.
Four lifts serve the area: two chairlifts, one platter and one drag lift. The slopes run between 790 m and 945 m, so the total vertical is 154 m and the altitude is low, which makes conditions dependent on cold spells. The longest run measures 1168 m. Best used as a short-stay or day area for practising turns.
