Après & vibe

Après is warmly Greek and low-key, based in the stone village of Pisoderi and the nearby town of Florina with their tavernas.

The resort

Tottis Vigla, better known as the Vigla Pisoderi ski centre, sits on the slopes of Mount Verno above the mountain village of Pisoderi in Greece's far north-western Florina region. It is a modest, friendly area of forested runs favoured by weekenders from Thessaloniki and the local towns rather than international skiers, with an unhurried, family atmosphere. The setting is the real draw: high, wooded borderland near the Prespa lakes, well away from the Greek tourist trail. As with most Greek resorts it can be snow-marginal, its season tied to the winter's cold spells, but at altitude it holds decent cover through the heart of winter.

Reasonable cover in a cold winter thanks to its altitude and northern, forested aspect, but like all Greek areas it can be snow-marginal and season length varies year to year.
