Skopje International Airport (SKP) lies east of Skopje and is an international gateway to Popova Šapka and Mavrovo. Both ski journeys run west of the capital, so a transfer through central Skopje adds an interchange. Popova Šapka climbs above Tetovo; Mavrovo continues toward its lake and ski base. The airport lists a city bus connection and licensed taxi services, but a city airport bus is not a through ski-resort shuttle. There is no passenger train boarding platform inside the terminal. Confirm the current airport-bus stop and onward departure before choosing public transport, especially after an evening flight. When choosing an arrival time, you can compare flights to Skopje International Airport and check whether it leaves enough time for the last coach or train into the mountains.
Consult the airport’s current bus information for the dated city service and the stop nearest the intercity bus station. For a mountain pickup, provide the flight number and exact resort hotel. Allow time for baggage and the separate city interchange.
Tetovo is below Popova Šapka, while Mavrovo lakeside villages can be away from the lifts. Reserve the final uphill ride and check current resort operation before paying for a ski-only trip.
These approximate road distances help you shortlist a destination. The exact distance depends on your hotel and the road used; check live directions before travel.
