However, the aforementioned investment has taken Jasna to another level. It now boasts almost 50km of slopes, a lift system to rival any in the Alps and is home to some fantastic freeride terrain. Off the slopes, the accommodation has improved markedly, as has the food, whilst still being incredibly affordable – indeed this is one the best value resorts out there.
Why not explore Jasna in the capable hands of Ski Club Freshtracks this winter? We have a weekend holiday running in Januray 2024 to Jasna!
For beginners there is a great learning zone at Biela Pút and from here there is good progression on to longer, gentle blues such as 13 or 10.
Intermediates will enjoy the blues and reds above the resort and also the longer descents down to Krupová on the other side of Chopok – which drop almost 1000m. Thanks to the snowmaking system, snow reliability is generally good.
For more advanced skiers and snowboarders, the steep blacks above the village are worth heading to for some fast groomers, as are the longer runs down to Kosodrevina from Chopok.
The real draw however is the freeride terrain – there are 12 such areas marked on the piste map, dropping down either side of the ridge between Chopok and Derese. In good snow these are a blast and will track out much more slowly than they would at a major alpine resort.
Accommodation has improved along with the rest of the resort facilities, but the great value has been retained. A range of hotels – from family run inns to luxury spa resorts – are located along the slopes, making most ski-in-ski-out.
Après ski and nightlife has also improved at Jasna with the addition of the Happy End bar at the foot of the slopes – beer prices are cheap and in the sunshine this is a great place to be.
There are around 15 restaurants and mountain huts serving everything from typical Slovakian specialities to more typical ski resort fare. One highlight is the Von Roll Restaurant at the Luková mountain station at 1670m, with its small wine cellar. For ‘hut cuisine’ try Klobúk on slope 13 Biela Pút: you get an open fire and good, home style cooking.

For southerly and easterly reaches, a cold albeit steady week is in store across Christmas day and the remainder of the week. Snow will continue in areas with temperatures remaining below freezing at mid-mountain level, brought in on a steady band of cloud which will eventually rise and give way to some sun as the week concludes.
Elsewhere things are a touch milder, with temperatures hovering around and about freezing at mid-mountain level. Sun moves in quicker to many of these areas and things will be fine, dry and bright by the end of the week and into the weekend.
The Ski Club office is closed on Friday 28 December – there will be no overviews published on this date, returning Tuesday 31 December. The Ski Club wishes you a Merry Christmas!
