A small highland village in Gorski Kotar sitting at 730 metres above sea level, Mrkopalj holds the distinction of being Croatia's oldest ski destination — organised skiing began here in 1904. The village preserves the most complete Gorski Kotar Fašnik carnival tradition, with distinctive handmade masks and processions that date back centuries. Surrounded by dense beech and fir forests sheltering brown bear, lynx, and wildcat, Mrkopalj offers cool summer hiking and authentic mountain culture far from the Adriatic crowds.
