Jasna

Jasna offers some of the most affordable skiing in all of Europe, as well as some of the best terrain. You will undoubtedly have enough space on the more than 40km of slopes to work up an appetite for the regional potato pancakes packed with sheep's cheese. Despite the extremely low prices, the region boasts some seriously travel-inspiring hotels, like Hotel Galeria Thermal Beeová. Even though it costs approximately as much as the typical hostel in Barcelona, it almost has the feel of a high-end resort thanks to its ultra-modern design and enormous glassy hot spa that is surrounded by a forest. Jasna is sure to check all the boxes if you're searching for serious value and apparently endless alternatives for mountain exploration (there are 23 lifts and cable cars).

Visitors to the Slovakian ski resort of Jasna won't run out of powder with its 41 slopes. They also have a variety of pistes with varying degrees of difficulty, so whether you're up for a challenge or just want to relax and take it easy, there's something for everyone.

The resort also provides night skiing for those who prefer to ski while the stars are out, and there is even a ski school for those who need a little additional practice before hitting the slopes on their own.
