Ski in Slovakia and stay at the Dragon's Lair

JASNA Adventures has launched its brand new built chalet in the #ski resort of Jasna, #Slovakia, opening in October 2017 in time for the winter season.

The Dragon’s Lair sleeps up to 19 people in five guest rooms, all with ensuite, that include two upstairs-downstairs family rooms, a double, a triple, and a large 2+2 room – there’s a fulltime chalet host, an outdoor jacuzzi, sauna and fitness area, plus a full bar downstairs.

Guests can choose whether they stay on a bed & breakfast or half-board basis. There’s also a private lift shuttle service that drops off and picks up guests at the slopes in as little as eight minutes drive.

Book ahead for the slopes

IF it’s summertime, it’s time – for some folks – to think about a #skiing holiday, so Inghams has launched its 2015/6 ski brochure, with a programme that has been expanded with new resorts in Austria and Italy.

Says Hugh Walton at Inghams: ‘We've a lot to shout about with the launch of our 15/16 ski brochure. No less than six new resorts, a new ski-in/ski-out Chalet Hotel in Champoluc, and new chalets in Mayrhofen and Avoriaz. We've more UK departure airports than ever before and a huge range of ski pack and lifts pass offers to tempt early bookers.’

Inghams also has holidays – in northern Norway – for non-skiers.
