ARRIVAL CHECKLISTBefore leaving Ohrid St. Paul the Apostle Airport
Ohrid St. Paul the Apostle Airport (OHD) is northwest of Ohrid near the lake and offers an alternative approach to Mavrovo and the Pelister mountain area near Bitola. These are separate road corridors: Mavrovo lies to the north, while Kopanki and Niže Pole are reached through the Bitola region. The terminal has taxi and rental-car information, and public connections should be checked for the actual flight date. Do not assume a frequent airport coach reaches any ski centre. Pelister is a national park with multiple winter bases, rather than one hotel or one lift station. Choose the intended activity and road-accessible arrival point first.
- Kopanki is approached at Hotel Molika, while Niže Pole uses a different road. Confirm lift operation, snow conditions and the return pickup. A journey to a park road entrance does not deliver passengers to a mountain summit.
- Confirm the terminal, hotel address and ski luggage before booking.
- Keep enough time between landing and a fixed onward departure.
