What visitors say about the resort

Sljeme is praised for its proximity to Zagreb: it is half an hour from the city centre, making it possible to ski after work. Visitors highlight the Snow Queen World Cup run and the pleasant surrounding forest.

The drawbacks are obvious: the ski area is tiny, the vertical drop is around 300 m, snow does not last long and depends entirely on snow cannons. The second issue is the crowds on weekends. It is not generally considered a destination in its own right.
