Donovaly
The picturesque village lies in the place surrounded by mountains at an altitude of 960 m ASL where the mountains of the Starohorské vrchy meet the massifs of the Veľká Fatra mountains. Thanks to summer tourism and winter sports, Donovaly is well-known in the entire resort.
Donovaly is also famous for the beauty of nature, proximity to hiking trails and a number of hills and mountains. The highest peak rising above Donovaly is Zvolen (1402 m ASL) and the neighbouring one is somewhat lower but more famous, it is Nová Hoľa (1370 m ASL) with a gondola lift providing panoramic view of the surrounding mountains – the Veľká Fatra, Nízke Tatry and Vysoké Tatry mountains.
