Liptov has every accommodation option possible and you can choose from TOP 4* ski in – ski out hotels, chalets and nice family guesthouses to simple private rooms or rented huts. Accommodation facilities, thermal parks and our top ski resorts are linked with a shuttle bus service which is free of charge for region card holders or lift pass holders.
