Popova Šapka, Ski resort in Tetovo Municipality, North Macedonia
Popova Šapka is a ski resort near Tetovo that spans multiple elevation zones with runs suited to different skill levels. The facility includes lift systems, rental shops, and instruction services for those new to skiing.
The area began developing as a winter sports destination from the mid-twentieth century onward, shaping how people in the region experience the mountains. These early efforts laid the groundwork for what became a popular winter destination.
Winter sports hold deep roots in the surrounding communities, where skiing has become woven into how people spend their mountain time. You notice this connection through the local food served at the mountain restaurants and the way generations have made this place part of their seasonal life.
The resort operates best during winter months when snow covers the slopes and facilities are fully running. Visitors should plan to bring warm clothing and prepare for mountain weather conditions.
The resort is also known for its cross-country skiing trails that wind through quieter forest areas away from the main slopes. These routes offer visitors a chance to explore the surrounding mountain landscape at a slower pace.
