With 35 km (22 miles) of slopes and 25 lifts, the Kopaonik resort bordering Kosovo is the biggest ski centre in the country.
“People should not be afraid, skiing by itself is one of the safest sports,” said Filip Filipovic, a skiing instructor at Kopaonik. “People use gloves, face masks or scarves and glasses.”
