Skiing, snowboarding

Hungary’s natural endowments offer only seasonal possibilities for skiing and snowboarding, which cannot be compared with the possibilities available in the high mountains of the neighbouring countries. Hungary’s ski slopes can be found in the northern part of the country, their number is about 30.  The most significant of these is the ski park of Mátraszentistván, which offers skiing possibilities for whole families and its slopes are covered with artificial snow, if there is a need. The season lasts until mid-March. In Eplény, the northern region of the Bakony, tourists can find a ski arena, which, due to countinuous improvements, can boast outstanding facilities and 7-kilometre-long ski slopes. Depending on weather conditions these slopes operate until the end of March.
