Malino Brdo ski & bike park — Attraction in Ružomberok

I was in the bikepark at summer. What a challenge! The markings of bicycle routes are different than in Poland. In Poland the blue route is for beginners, there are no challenges and difficulties there, it is often used to get used to the slope and larger boards, speed. Here, blue was like our red in Poland :) It did not bother me, but I would not take anyone who just have started his adventure with mountain biking here. I had a lot of fun here! There were a few challenges, the challenge was that we were after a stormy night so it was slippery. I think I liked the Blizzard trail the most. Though I also liked to ride the blue one and then switch to the red / some black ones which I was able to ride. I recommend bikepark for intermediate people who already have skills. They will have the best fun. Nice lift staff, willing to help. Good ice cream...

SK/EN review (čakacie doby: skibus z parkoviska 20min, rada na lístky 40min., rada pred lanovkou 25min, bufet 40min., skibus naspäť 20-30min ) Príchod do strediska niečo po 9:00, všetky parkoviská už plné, parkovali sme na konci posledného, príchod skibusu po dobrých 20min., rada pred kasou 40min (foto), kasy otvorené len 3, predávajúci robili čo mohli ale na tolko ludí ich bolo proste málo, jednoducho manažérsky absolútne nezvládnuté, neviem či je ozaj také ťažké kúpiť ku týmto trom kasám zo 5 automatov na lístky s dotykovým displayom, nech sa oddelia tí aspon trošku technicky zdatný, nedajbože aby takéto automaty vedeli prečítať aj zľavomatové kódy a iné, atď, v bufete ďalšia rada a dobrých 40min čakania na obed, kupodivu aspon tie zjazdovky boli ako-tak zjazdné, odchod zo strediska pol hodinu pred záverečnou nech nejdeme s davom v skibuse, jeden nás odbehol, ok počkáme na další, tých 20min prežijeme. Tento prišiel po dobrej polhodine, za ktorú sa na parkovisku nazbieralo už tolko ludí že sme sa do neho ani nezmestili, takže pešo a po ceste. Ďakujem za túto skúsenosť, v tomto stredisku je cieľom aby zákazník odchádzal znechutený až nahnevaný z „lyžovačky“. Tu človek platí za čakanie, nie za lyžovanie. Neodporúčam.

EN: (waiting times: ski-bus from parking 20mins, row to tickets 40mins, row before cable-way 25mins, row at buffet before lunch 40mins, skibus back to parking 20-30mins) We arrived around 9 a.m., all parking was full, we parked at the end of last parking lot, so we had to use a ski-bus, which arrived after 20mins, row before cash desk was 40mins (photo attached), because only 3 of them was open, shop assistants try to do all the best they could, but there were a little for many of people, simply by manager point of view it was absolutely insufficient, I don´t know if buy some self-service vending machines with touch display is so difficult, another row before lunch in buffet was 40mins, slopes was surprisingly let´s say „sufficient“, we left ski area half an hour before the final to avoid all of the people coming from ski center, we missed one ski-bus, we waited for another 30mins, but it was so crowded that we didn´t get in, so we walked to our car on foot, which was not so far, but we had to walk a road with full traffic. Thank´s for this experience, here is probably the aim that the costumer should leave this area disappointed, even angry. People pay for waiting, not for skiing. I don´t...

We were there on 20.01.20. On arrival we bought full day passes and took the gondola. To our surprise only one ski run was open (the one between the end of the gondola and the very top). This meant that you couldn't ski down to the bottom but you have to take the gondola again. Essentially that was only a third of the ski center capacity available. We were not even made aware of that pitiful situation the ski center is, for we had we would have probably not spent 27 euro each to ride on one single short run for all of the day!! On my attempt to complain, I was meat with lift operators who clearly showed that it is not their business. My advice is check is the runs are open as there is no such info at the ticket station before you go and...
