Kosovo Alps Catskiing: Unmatched Backcountry Thrills in the Accursed Mountains

• This is not your typical snow trip. There will be no more than 30 people on the entire mountain and surrounding valleys during our stay.
• There is no resort, no town, no stores, no bars or restaurants other than the main lodge that we are staying at. (You can bring up whatever you want for the week)
• This is a very special snow trip, for those who are hungry for adventure and being out in the peace of the wilderness.
• There are only two cats for the entire valley, which almost guarantees fresh runs for everyone, every day.
• The recommended riding level is strong intermediate to expert.

9 days

About

Come ride with us in one of the last untouched freeriding frontiers - the Accursed Mountain range. Accessible by cat only, there are nine zones across different valleys that will be available for riding some of the best off-piste terrain this part of the world has to offer.

Also known as the Albanian Alps, or the southern part of the Dinaric Alps, this mountain range sits on the borders of Montenegro, Albania, and Kosovo. There are no chairlifts, no children, no resort- this is some of the purest snowboarding or skiing available on a mountain range without civilization around for miles.

For clarification, a SNOWCAT is pretty much a snow tank that climbs over snow and rough steep terrain, with an enclosed cab and seats for 12 people. This will be your private ride all day, every day. With only 2 Cats in the area, you are pretty much guaranteed fresh lines on every. single. run.
