Definitely, Brezovica is Kosovo’s biggest ski resort, but it is small compared to anything in Switzerland or generally in Western Europe. It has some skiing pistes, black, red and blue also. The lifts are old, some up to 50 years old, because the place lacks investment. This day you can do a 2-hour short tour to Mali Ministrit and wait for the sunset at the top, or decide to ski at the ski center.
Black Rock Peak 2536m, is the highest peak in Brezovica ski center. Like all the peaks of Sharr, it’s situated on the border with Macedonia. The altitude difference is 870 m. Climbing takes more or less 3.5 h then you will be sliding down the slope. Transfer to Prevalla, 40 min.
