Description
Situated in the northwestern corner of North Macedonia, Popova Šapka is the perfect place for an immersive 4-day off-piste and cat skiing adventure!
Popova Šapka, which translates to priest's hat in Macedonian, rises to 1,780 meters in elevation and boasts numerous slopes upon which to ski.
After meeting at the Skopje International Airport and transferring to a nearby ski village, the fun begin! The following morning, we will head out onto the slopes.
Two of the four days that we are together, we will head out in the snow cat, visiting more remote parts of the mountain and (hopefully) finding some unspoiled powder down which to ski.
The other two days, we will head up on the lifts and enjoy some great off-piste skiing on a closer portion of the mountain.
Expect to get some incredible views and make many great runs on all four days of the trip and begin planning your next trip back soon. (Please note, you will also have the option to extend the trip by one day, which is not included in the trip price.)

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
