Snowsport Scotland and Snowsport England confirmed its new partnership with the Slovakian regions of the High Tatras and Liptov for the forthcoming winter season.

This partnership aims to put the destination into focus for UK clubs, athletes, and the recreational Snowsports community, offering an exciting and affordable opportunity for winter holidays and training camps.

This partnership was brokered on behalf of Snowsport Scotland and England by The Winning Tape Ltd; and implemented with the financial support of the Ministry of Tourism and Sports of Slovak Republic.

A promising partnership

Snowsport Scotland CEO Iain Ramsay-Clapham said: “We are delighted to have secured this partnership which will bring more funds into Snowsports and provide exclusive offers and discounts to our members, athletes and the broader UK Snowsports community, to access this exciting and affordable destination.”

Región Vysoké Tatry executive director Lucia Blaskova added: “The UK winter-ski market is very important to us and one we wish to grow, especially with expanded airlift from the UK. This new partnership will help us reach the right audiences and build awareness of our first-class ski areas, products and services.”

Stunning slopes

The Slovak Tatra mountains are a relatively unexplored area for Brits, though they offer several world-class ski resorts, exceptional value for money, and the very latest technology in lift infrastructure.

The region hosts the Alpine World Cup and boasts a season that can run right through to May. 

Flights with WizzAir and Ryanair from the UK start from as little as £15 with transfer times from the nearest airport to some ski resorts can take only 10 to 15 minutes.
