Lyubogorye Ski Club

Lyubogorye Ski Club opened in January 2015 near Lyubytino and the village of Selishche. It has 7 slopes of varying difficulty plus tubing runs, with a total length of 5 km. The longest green run is 1,300 m and the beginner slope is 200 m; there are also two red and three blue runs, served by one drag lift. Live webcams show slope and lift conditions. Ski and snowboard equipment is available for hourly rental, and private instructors can be booked. After skiing, guests can relax in a Russian bathhouse. Accommodation includes apartments, A-frame wooden houses, forest cottages and hotel rooms, while children can join activities with professional entertainers. There are two cafés: one with an open terrace serving Russian and European food, fast food and children’s dishes, with an average set lunch or dinner costing 1,000–1,200 RUB; the second, panoramic café “Tramplin”, stands directly on the slope. The resort is 180 km from Veliky Novgorod, about 2.5 hours by car. There is no public transport, so visitors need a car, taxi or arranged transfer. Guest Card holders receive a 5% discount on accommodation.
