Kopaonik is Serbia’s largest ski area: around 60 kilometres of runs on a high plateau topped by Pančić’s Peak at 2,017 metres, with modern lifts and plenty of snowmaking. Most visitors base themselves in the ski village for a week, but if you are staying in Belgrade you can ski it in a day.

The trip we link to picks you up at your Belgrade hotel and drives about three and a half hours south in a small group of up to 15. You get around five hours on the mountain, with the guide helping you sort out ski rental and, if you want one, an instructor. Then it is the same drive back, so expect a 14-hour day.

The price covers transport, the guide and national park entry. The lift pass is extra: an adult day pass costs 5,600 to 6,500 dinars (about €48 to €55) in 2026/27, depending on the date. Rental and food are extra too. Outside ski season the same trip becomes a walk to the viewpoints near the summit.

Who is it for?

Best for: Skiers based in Belgrade who want one day on real slopes without renting a car or booking a mountain hotel. Beginners get help finding rental and an instructor.

Skip it if: You plan to ski more than a day or two. Seven hours in a van for five on the snow is a lot, and a few nights in the Kopaonik village is better value.

How the day runs

  1. Pickup at your Belgrade hotel early in the morning.

  2. About three and a half hours by van to Kopaonik.

  3. A short stop for photos in the national park.

  4. Around five hours at the ski centre: pick up rental, buy your lift pass and ski, or walk and take in the views.

  5. Drive back to Belgrade, arriving in the evening.

The trip runs in snow or sun, so bring proper winter clothing, gloves and sunglasses.

Kopaonik day trip questions

How much does a Kopaonik day trip from Belgrade cost?

The guided trip we link to starts from €179 per person, including hotel pickup, transport, the guide and national park entry. Add about €50 for a 2026/27 adult day lift pass, plus ski rental and lunch.

How long do you get on the slopes?

Around five hours. The drive takes about three and a half hours each way, so the whole day lasts about 14 hours.

Is it worth it for beginners?

Yes. Kopaonik has good beginner areas, and the guide can help you rent equipment and find an instructor at the resort. Lessons are paid separately.

Can I do the trip outside ski season?

Yes. From spring to autumn the same trip visits Kopaonik National Park, with walks to viewpoints near Pančić’s Peak instead of skiing.

Is it cheaper to drive or stay overnight?

With a car and a group, driving is cheaper, but the mountain road can need winter tyres or chains. For more than a day or two of skiing, staying in the Kopaonik village saves the long drive and gives you more time on the snow.
