This tour is surely a sweet prize, since finding places like these to enjoy is not easy.

As you start, it’s easy to notice all the beautiful and gorgeous mountains around the area, and all the powder snow that you will soon be skiing on is lovely to admire as well.

Along the tour, you can notice how the higher you get, the better you can get a glance at the other mountains, but of course, the hiking and skiing itself on this mountain is the sweetest prize of them all because once you get to the top, you’re ready to have one of the best rides down.

There is no fear, worry, or bad atmosphere; the only thing is a soothing and calming noise of the snow being pushed off, revealing a new layer of snow.

And at the end, it’s not guaranteed that you can forget a sweet ride like this ever in your life.

A journey where both start and end are like a perfect pair leaves an awesome pattern on the snow from all the incredible rides you could possibly get from Medenica; it’s surely a sweet treat.
