Lailias – Serres is a charming ski resort located in northern Greece, approximately 30 minutes away from the city of Serres. It is situated on a stunning mountain, considered one of the most beautiful in the region. The resort offers not only a ski center, but also several delightful paths for those who prefer to walk or hike, immersing visitors in the magic of the mountain. However, it's worth noting that the resort's operating hours are currently restricted to weekends only and does not offer equipment rental on site.
The scenic beauty of Lailias – Serres is a major draw for visitors, with breathtaking views of the woods and the mountains. The resort is well-organized and facilitated, albeit some visitors have expressed concerns about the age of the facilities and the capacity to cater to large visitor numbers. The resort features a platter lift on a 1000m slope, offering both straight tracks of moderate level and at certain points, more challenging black runs. The resort is thus, more recommended for experienced snowboarders, although there are also smaller trails with technical and natural jumps for those looking for a challenge. There's also a regional track, which is enchanting for those familiar with it.
The resort has garnered positive feedback for its easy access and satisfactory café service. It is a favorite spot for hobbyists and offers a satisfying experience for visitors, despite being smaller compared to other ski resorts. However, it has been noted that the ground in some places can be uneven on the main track, and the basic ticket price has also been subject of criticism among some visitors.
Despite the minor issues, Lailias – Serres remains an impressive ski resort, and a beautiful place to visit. Visitors can enjoy a scenic drive of medium difficulty to reach the resort, where they can enjoy good coffee, and even take a walk along the track during the summer when the snow has melted. However, the resort needs to improve the condition of the facilities and the service at the chalet to match up with the expectations of its visitors. Safety and hygiene have been highlighted as areas for improvement. Overall, it is a promising ski resort that still requires some work to attract more visitors and increase overall satisfaction.
