Catski in Dragobrat is for the more adventurous. As a Ski & Snowboard destination you will quickly find that it is nothing you can compare to other destinations. The trip alone in former Russian 4 × 4 van from the valley and up to Dragobrat is an adventure. Dragobrat is already a ski resort with infrastructure such as ski lifts. It can be used to access the Freeride areas. But Eastern Snow will use a Catski, which gives us access to the entire mountain area around Dragobrat. The terrain varies from relatively rounded mountain peaks to forests, with good distance between them. Therefore, the area is suitable for Catski. The fresh powder found in different varieties does not come from the blue sky, so travelers should prepare for all weather conditions on the mountains. Snowstorm one day and suddenly powder and sunshine the next day – on these days going up with the Catski in the Dragobrat is magnificent.
