Visitor Reviews of Veľká Rača - Oščadnica


rich from UNITED KINGDOM writes:

Great little resort. I've been going for the last four years as a cheap alternative to the Alps. It has it's own special charm. The snow in 07 was bad with only a few runs open but in 06 they had over 2 metres of snow and it was amazing. Powder everywhere. As you would expect it is very, very cheap. We found it hard to spend more than 100 quid each and ate and drank well every night.
