WEEKEND IN THE NATIONAL PARK MAVROVO

Difficulty

Moderate

Best period

Late December to early April

National Park Mavrovo is like a record for the most amazing free-riding regions and unbelievably surreal mountains.

With this offer, you have a chance to climb and ski down the highest peak in Mount Bistra-Medenica and also to climb the highest peaks in Macedonia, Peak Golem Korab, and enjoy free riding down as well as continuing from Kepi Bard as you ride down the slopes with pure enjoyment.

Free riding in National Park Mavrovo is like nothing else. Many say the same about allotments of mountains, but here you even see for yourself that it’s true.

Being a true free rider is where you feel free yourself; you know you are safe in the mountains, and nothing could possibly beat or replace what you have or what you’re enjoying at the moment.
