Returned 15/01/2007.journey to Kop was a bit
scarey,coach couldnt get any grip on road,we
arrived at resort feeling OK , airport is straight
forwards but wait to get to Kop to change
currency.Stayed at Club A,basic but
comfortable,kind of nice to switch off from UK
comforts.Food OK,fun just to see what food has
been laid on,we ate out some nights,restaurant
next to police station is best,sking was great fun
but if you are hiring make sure you get best fit
boots u can,had to change mine 3 times.Reps are
great espacially Ivan.Go to quiz night as
listening to a Serbian rep pronounce some English
words is hilarious.Drink local beers as imports
not as cheap , came back home with money! thats a
1st.To sum up,have never been to such a beautiful
place ,lovely reps and ski instructors ,cheap and
comfortable,but most of all is not too commercial
yet and this is the real bonus of Kop.DO NOT TELL
TOO MANY PEOPLE ABOUT THIS SECRET GEM. |

As promised I'll be posting some photos as
soon as i've got them off the laptop
(hopefully in the next few days) Ok so after a week boarding every day and afternoon, staying next door to a Serbian couple who argued for 2 hours every night and then had very nosy sex till 4.00am in the morning I'm back in work very knackered! Snow - Quite a nice amount when we got there and most of the slopes were open. Lovely blue skies for 4 days and sunshine. Was getting patchy in places by Thursday but luckily it snowed all day and evening making saturday riding a joy. Reps - Very helpful indeed. Friendly people with good English. Instructors - We had a guy called Jug who was very good and on the first day we were all up the mountain and by the last day on a black run. Also a good laugh and went drinking with us on the last night. Drink - In shops bottles of beer could be as cheap as 40 dinar (35p) and depending on the brand could be up to 200 dinar in some hotels / bars etc. SOS bar and Exit bar were good prices. Night-life - Didn't really get going till quite late. Some dances in some of the bars. Food - We stayed in the Club A and it was half board. A good variety at breakfast and tea. LOTS of meat. For veggie's it was ok but they didn't really understand the concept and non of the food was labelled. For example some veggie stuff was covered by meat which as my veggie wife pointed out was a bit silly. Currency - Take euros as you can use these on some activities and can be used to change to dinars in the airport or in the resort. There are 2 (i think) ATM machines in the resort. Language - Learn some basic words. It's not really needed but really helps we found. Alot of the waiters etc commented how it was pleasing to hear that we were trying there language out etc. Other activities - Ski-doo (snow mobile) 60 euros for an hour up the mountain. Simply brilliant if you have never done it before and we got to see a lovely sunset. Those things don't half shift as well! There was an ice skating rink as well. The reps also organised a quiz night and a bar crawl type thing. |

Best ski on Kopaonik is during February. Every
year at this time, there is a lot of snow and sun!
Most of visiters at this time are young, so there
are a lot of partys and good spirit! Come to Kompaonik in February! |

Take Euros or Sterling only. THEY DONT CHANGE
TRAVELLERS CHEQUES ANYWHERE IN THE RESORT, nearest
town is 2 hours plus away. Ski instrutors, enthusiastic and friendly! But make sure you are in the correct ability group from the start or you'll get cold waiting! |

Hi just returned from Kop, my first full weeks
skiing holliday. Anyone flying out there will have
a great time . We were lucky that there was a
godfall of snow on our second night there which
allowed more slopes to be opened. To help anyone flying out to kop i will give you a few suggestions to help you on your stay, DONT take travelers cheques to kop as they wont change them there, you need either cash or your bank card. The ski school is great and the instructors speek good English, but make sure that on day one that you get put in the right group as if you can ski a little as i could they will start you off as a complete begginer as happened to me, but thanks to the instructors a better group on the second day and then some great skiing. We stayed in the Konaci apartments rooms were good and clean,but the disco at 2.00 in the morning can be a problem after a days skiing, so if you have children as we did try to get a room away from the disco. To sum up we all had a great time and would go back again, food and drink very cheap try the local beer MB |
