Ski resorts: "Silichi" (Belarus). Photos and reviews of tourists

Belarus is famous for its extraordinary nature. Naroch is a recognized pearl of Eastern Europe, the true star of the Braslav Lakes, which are located in the virgin forests of Polissya. But not everyone knows that there is another amazing place in the republic, which is distinguished by unprecedented natural beauty, hilly relief. This is truly an oasis for all lovers of outdoor activities.

Ski resorts "Silichi" created by order of the President of the country. This object is intended for health improvement of the nation. Today the complex Silichi is the pride of the Belarusian tourism industry.

Location:

It is located 35 km from the capital of the country - Minsk. It is a modern, well-equipped complex that meets guests throughout the year. In winter time, lovers of mountain skiing from all over Belarus and from the near abroad come to Silichi. The complex since 2011 has a magnificent snowpark with halfpipe. There are excellent conditions for holding corporate parties, relaxing with friends on a day off or on holidays.

International Snow Park

On three ski slopes there are chair lifts. Despite the fact that the difference in heights is not too great (100 m), along the length of the trails the complex Silichi (Minsk) is not inferior to the best European resorts.

There are children's and educational tracks with a length of 70 and 120 meters with a drag lift. Especially I would like to mention a snowpark equipped for any rider: the highest springboards for pro riders and very modest kickers for beginners, seven superpipe and jibbing figures, on which freestylers can hone their skills.

Do not think that you will be able to master complex tricks yourself. Local instructors will teach you how to jump.

Here you can ride a snowmobile on a 2.5 km long track, like cross country skiing on a 1.1 km track.

Rest on weekends

To all who want to visit Silichi (Byelorussia) and stay at the resort for more than 1 day, the administration of the complex offers places in a cottage village with a three-star hotel for 100 people and 12 two-storey houses. This is a great place where you can perfectly relax from the city noise and bustle, there are no noisy parties.

For guests - free parking for 850 cars. And in two large restaurants and several cafes and bistros you can taste European and Belarusian dishes.

Rest all year round

Ski resorts "Celichi" originally had a height difference of 76 meters. Belarusians used podsypku, adjusted the slopes in such a way that everyone could skate, even beginners.

"Silichi" is a ski center, which prides itself on steep routes, as well as soft, gentle slopes for beginners and children. The complex is surrounded by a forest thicket with age-old oak trees, mighty pine trees and firs. In these places absolutely extraordinary air, which has a beneficial effect on people's health.

Ski resorts "Silichi" offer their guests an unforgettable bath holiday. All comers will be offered appetizing shish kebabs in the open air. Special pavilions have been built for this purpose. You can do snowboarding, skating and skiing, tubing and paintball. Equally rich is the summer program: bicycles and karting, fishing and roller skating, fascinating excursions, business services.

Riding season

As follows from all of the above, "Silichi" - the ski center is very diverse. In winter - a great ski resort, and in summer - an ordinary recreation center for those who prefer to spend time actively.

The season of skiing completely coincides with the winter period in the middle lane, that is, from December to February.

In March, you can go to the Logoisk Hills. Who really wants to skate in the offseason, can visit the closed complexes, starting to work at the resort in October.

According to the organizers of the resort, its main attraction is the Forest Lake. Here are unusually beautiful landscapes. In summer the water in the lake is transparent, like a tear. On its banks it is possible to be arranged conveniently in chaise lounges. You can sit in arbors, which are equipped with everything you need for cooking barbecue and barbecue.

In the Logoisk Hills, you can stay in a hotel or in a cottage village.

There is a wide choice of sportswear and all necessary equipment in the shops and rental outlets, as well as many original souvenirs - wooden figures, cute straw crafts, maple and lime spoons, males, pottery, linen towels and shirts.

In fairness, I must say that the resort complex does not always cope with the influx of tourists. Therefore I would like to advise - plan your trip in such a way that it does not fall on holidays and weekends. So you save time and money.

Reviews of tourists

Today many of our compatriots have already visited the resort of Silichi. Reviews about it are different. Those who used to visit European resorts believe that the Belarusian analogue is not yet reaching the international level. But at the same time they mark the cableway, which, in their opinion, wins before the Czech or Polish.

Belarusians happily spend their days off here, however, they complain about the recent price increase.

Many people find the trails in Silichi short, but they are happy with the high altitudes.

Summing up

"Silichi" is a ski center, a booming resort, which aspires to European standards. However, along with this, prices are rising. We hope that in time Logoyskie Hills will turn into a new Courchevel, so go there now, while the vouchers are still quite affordable.
