Après & vibe
Nova Varoš and the Zlatar mountain hotels provide a low-key base, close to the dramatic Uvac canyon nature reserve.
The snow centre
Set on the broad Zlatar mountain that rises above Nova Varoš in the Zlatibor region of south-western Serbia, this is a genuine outdoor ski area rather than a dry slope or dome. It is small and unhurried, with runs near the mountain hotels and a modern chairlift-style cable car, plus a piste equipped with snowmaking that descends towards the town itself. The mountain is better known as a green, spring-fed upland and health-resort area, so skiing here is a relaxed add-on to a peaceful mountain break rather than the main event. Altitude is moderate and the season is a variable Balkan winter one supported by snow guns. It suits families, beginners and travellers wanting quiet Serbian mountain skiing off the tourist trail.
The slope
Gentle runs and a children's slope make it a comfortable place to learn.
The main Zlatar piste offers pleasant, uncrowded cruising.
Limited steep terrain in this small area.
No expert pistes; the appeal is scenery and calm rather than challenge.
Cable car down to town
A modern cable car links the Zlatar slopes with Nova Varoš, and the main piste runs down towards the town.
Zlatar and the Uvac reserve
The green Zlatar plateau and the nearby Uvac special nature reserve, famous for its meanders and griffon vultures, frame a ski trip here.
