Downhill skiing in Lithuania is about to become possible even in summer – a new indoor skiing facility is set to go up in Druskininkai.
Lithuania’s economy ministry has announced 40 million litas in funding towards the complex, to be built in the southern resort town near Lithuania’s border with Poland.
Plans call for a slope 53 to 63 metres wide and 412 metres long, which would rank it at the upper end of indoor skiing facilities in terms of slope length.
The ministry projects that the complex would attract up to 146,000 visitors per year, which would make it one of the more popular indoor skiing venues in Europe.
The closest indoor slopes are in Hamburg and Moscow.
Financing for the project is coming from EU infrastructure funds, and the building must be finished by 2013.

The romantic spirit of the past and international quality standards can be found at the Hotel Druskininkai Best Western Central.
The hotel has brought back the historic purpose of the building; a hotel operated here at the turn of the last century. “This move was well thought-out. Druskininkai is a promising resort that attracts tourism. The number of guests at the new hotel is growing every day,” said Egidijus Dargevicius, director of the Naujasis Vilnius, which manages the Best Western Central.
