We’ve designed the perfect hybrid adventure: two days of pure cat-skiing adrenaline to find the deepest stashes, followed by four days of cat-assisted touring to reach the most remote, untouched ridges in the Balkans. Based out of Popova Shapka, you’ll spend your days chasing 3,000 vertical meters of descent across a playground of limestone peaks, open bowls, and perfectly spaced glades. With the snowcat acting as your high-altitude elevator, you’ll save your legs for the most rewarding backcountry lines, guided by experts who know every secret couloir in the range. Beyond the descent, this is a journey into the soul of Macedonian mountain culture. When the sun sets over the peaks, you’ll retreat to a 4-star mountain lodge to soothe tired muscles in the spa and sauna. Evenings are spent sharing stories over hearty local cuisine and Rakija, surrounded by the warmth of authentic Balkan hospitality.
Whether you are looking to sharpen your technical skills with our expert guides or simply want to escape the noise and ride the line of a lifetime, the Shar Mountains offer a sense of freedom that is becoming increasingly rare. This isn't just a ski trip; it’s a deep dive into the wild, steep, and spectacular.
Once you book, your trip is guaranteed to run, allowing you to book your flights with confidence.
