Your questions about Maribor, answered
How high is Maribor?
The lifts run from 275m at the base to 1347m at the top, a vertical of 1072m. Of the 4 resorts we track in Slovenia, that is the 4th highest, with the biggest vertical.
The base is below 1,000m, so the lowest runs are the first to suffer in a mild spell; the upper mountain is the safer bet early and late in the season.
Is Maribor good for beginners or experts?
The pistes at Maribor split 40% beginner, 45% intermediate and 15% advanced, against an average of 43% beginner and 14% advanced across the resorts we track in Slovenia.
On those numbers it suits beginners and intermediates.
