SF FreeRide
SF Freeride is the only cat-ski operation on Pelister Mountain, Macedonia, offering a true backcountry skiing and snowboarding experience in one of the Balkans’ most pristine alpine regions. Nestled in the heart of Pelister National Park, our operation combines adventure, safety, and local expertise to provide unforgettable freeride experiences for small groups.
Our experienced local guides have over 10 years of experience on Pelister and know the mountain like the back of their hand. With professional training in avalanche safety, mountain rescue, and first aid, they ensure your adventure is both thrilling and safe.
We operate modern snowcats that bring you directly to the mountain’s highest peaks (up to 2,610 m), giving you access to untouched powder, alpine bowls, and forested runs. Skiing with SF Freeride feels like having a private resort all to yourself, with personalized guidance every step of the way.
Our home base is the family-run Hotel Šumski Feneri, just 7 km from the snowcat start. Guests enjoy comfortable accommodations, delicious local and international cuisine, and a welcoming atmosphere—perfect for relaxing after a day on the mountain.
At SF Freeride, we also combine skiing with unique cultural and leisure experiences, such as wine tasting in Tikveš, Loutraki hot springs in Greece, and other tailored activities, making your trip an unforgettable adventure on and off the slopes.
