MACEDONIA ATTRACTIONS IN WINTER

PELISTER

Mount Pelister is close to Bitola. Its value is enormous because it has very rare flora on its slopes, due to which it has been proclaimed a National Park. The greatest area is covered by the woods of "milika" - native autochthonous five needle-shaped leaves of a special kind of pine tree, which is the special decoration and value of that mountain.
Rare game of such as roe deer, chamois, deers, bears, wild boars, black grouse, parties and lynx are among the wealth of the mountain.
Due to its extraordinary beauties, Pelister is a favourable place for winter and summer holidays. It has excellent slopes for skiing, special chalets and vacation houses.
Pelister is charecterised by the variety of its different climatic conditions. On the peaks one can see shining snow until July, while in the ravines, it is preserved throughout the year awaiting the "new snowfalls". Pelister is also known for its two lakes, the so called "Pelister's Eyes". The Big Lake is at an altitude of 2,218m above sea level, while the Small lake is at 2,180m. But both have several springs. Pelister is also connected to Bitola by a road.
