Directly below the cottage there is the Ski Čertovica resort, which offers slopes at an altitude of 900-1,145 metres above sea level on the northern slopes of the Čertova svadba hill. There are 12km of slopes and 5 ski lifts. Beginners will find their own slope here, as well as those who are looking for more demanding free ride terrain. You can ski here from mid-December to mid-April. The tracks are groomed and, if necessary, snowed with artificial snow. The capacity of the lifts is up to 3,000 skiers per hour. Snowboarders and ski alpinists will enjoy Čertovica as well. Ski equipment can be rented at the resort’s rental shop.

About 200 metres from the cottage there is the second, a bit smaller, resort STIV Čertovica. It is intended for less or intermediate demanding skiers. It offers two lifts and about 1km of groomed slopes along with a free ride zone. The resort is located at an altitude in the range of 1,238 to 1,381 metres, so it does not suffer from the lack of snow. And if there is little snow, an artificial snow system will take care of the snow cover throughout the winter.

The third available resort near the cottage, only 3km away, is Ski Center Bačova Roveň at an altitude of 1,000-1,360m, located on a hill above the village of Vyšná Boca. There are 3 lifts and 3km of slopes for all categories of skiers. Bačova Roveň also offers night skiing under artificial lighting. The resort has its own ski school and rental.

Tibor Ivanko and Peter Garaj

They started together in the Malinô Brdo bike park, where Tibor still works as a head shaper. Peter unplugged for a while and decided to explore bike parks across Europe. When their common passion led them to Čertovica, they were clear after the first weekend spent riding E-Bikes. This is a place to show the world.

Tibor and Peter, our lead guides, will be the main guarantors of your experience throughout the camp. They will advise you not only on riding technique, but also make sure that you discover the best that the trails around Čertovice have to offer bikers.

The hiking to Ďumbier is one of the most beautiful hikes in Slovakia. It is also suitable for families with children, but then it is necessary to prepare for a day trip. Approximately 1,000 altitude metres must be overcome. To diversify and possibly facilitate the hike, you can use cable cars or you can take a break at the popular mountain cottage M. R. Štefánik or Kamenná cottage under Chopok.

Soon the wide path turns and continues along the trail from the saddle to the small hill, from which you descend to the second saddle. From there, steeper ascent to the top of Beňuška continues. The route is undemanding, ideal for children and dogs.
