Winter in Jasná and on Chopok is not just for skiers. If you are looking for family activities to entertain children, we have 3 tips for you. Jasná offers much more than just snow covered slopes. It is a complex of winter attractions that make a family stay in the Low Tatras even more enjoyable.

1. Magical Forest Jasná: A winter fairytale, a new attraction on Chopok

Magical Forest Jasná is a new indoor light attraction located in the Jasná resort area at Brhliská, transporting you into a fairytale world full of colourful lights, gigantic sculptures and interactive scenes.

• It features more than 500 m² of a magical zone filled with giant inflatable sculptures and light installations, perfect for a family walk or taking selfies.
• The attraction is open daily during the winter season from 9:00 to 20:45.
• After dark, Magical Forest Jasná lights up into a magical light show full of colours, movement and sound effects.
• Tickets can be purchased directly via Gopass, the official sales channel, where you will always find lower prices than at the resort ticket offices.
• Children under 6 years of age have free entry.
• The attraction can be reached by the A3 Grand – Brhliská cable car (T5G SUPERJET).

This is an ideal activity for an evening family outing, when you want to enjoy the atmosphere of a mountain winter without skis.

2. Sledding: Traditional fun for the whole family

Sledding is one of the most popular winter activities for families with children, and in Jasná it has a unique charm. While grass may already be appearing elsewhere, on Chopok you can rely on a true winter landscape with snow-covered slopes.

Where to go sledding in Jasná:

• The slope in the MAXILAND area at Biela Púť, which is fenced and safe.
• Entry is free of charge.
• You can bring your own toboggan or rent one at the FUN ARENA for €6.
• You can also enjoy sledding during night skiing, when illuminated slopes and the evening atmosphere add a special charm to the experience.

This is an activity where both children and parents can truly let loose in the snow without the need for skis or a snowboard.

3. Ice skating: A winter classic on ice

Ice skating is another great tip for winter days in Jasná with children. Jasná operates a seasonal ice rink at Biela Púť, which is both attractive and romantic.

What to expect:

• The ice rink is located at Biela Púť, next to the boarding point of the A6 cable car.
• Opening hours: daily from 10:00 to 20:45, subject to suitable weather conditions.
• Entry is free of charge.
