Otherwise, each participant can contact the agency directly and reserve for themselves and their co-travellers. Please note that in case of single space shuttle booking, the confirmation about the exact time of the pick-up will be provided only the day before by the agency once they create the schadule of pick-ups for that day.

We found a transport agency which operates rides between Nis and Kopaonik (lineprevoz.rs). The charges for the trip are formed for the whole vehicle with a driver, and amount to:
one-way Standard Vehicle (3-4 passangers) Minivan (max. 8 passangers)
Nis-Kopaonik 90e 110e

Sofia-Nis 180e 210e
Unfortunately, we could not get an offer for individual passengers. However, if there is one or more persons coming to the Nis airport on Sat/Sun, this may still be a good option. If you want to send your inquiry and make a reservation, please send an email (in English or German) to their reservations email: info@lineprevoz.rs
By a rented car...
Again, renting a car may be an option (CarRentals) Please be aware that the road conditions closer to the Kopaonik mountain may not be perfect due to snow and make sure to drive carefully!

There are a number of flights to Sofia airport from around the world. There is no direct public transportation between Sofia and Kopaonik, however there is a number of minivans operating on the relation Sofia-Nis. How to get from Nis to Kopaonik, or for the info on direct minivan transportation, please see the text above. A trip from Sofia would take 5-6h if you decide to drive to Kopaonik from Sofia with a rented car (CarRentals).
