Turiec is so beautiful that in past people believed it to be a Lost Paradise. Turiec lies in the central and north-western part of Slovakia, surrounded by the Malá Fatra and Veľká Fatra mountains, the Kremnické vrchy mountains, and Žiar. The Turiec fold is one of the most significant and highest situated basins in Slovakia. There are excellent conditions for summer and winter sports activities. Villages under mountains with typical folk architecture, warm-hearted people, folk traditions and cultural monuments attract many tourists to visit the Turiec Region. The district of the city Martin is the heart of the region and a centre of national culture of Slovaks. Martin has a rich national and cultural history, and in the past, was a key driving force in the history of Slovakia. The various mineral springs and Turčianske Teplice spa, are famous abroad too and are also situated in the Turiec Region. A decision to spend your holiday in Turiec would mean discovering wonders of nature, fishing, hunting, cycling and tourist activities, skiing, horse-riding, familiarizing yourself with the life of local people, traditions, culture and history, and most of all, revitalizing yourself in natural surroundings.

There are 6 ski-lifts of various types and four-seat chair-lifts available for visitors in the Jasenská valley ski resort (530 m a.s.l.). A great advantage of the resort is its modern artificial snow generating system which helps to prolong the skiing season. There are also excellent conditions for cross-country skiing and hitchhiking in the Jasenská valley. The resort is still appealing in the summer season particularly for families with children, tourists, and cycle-tourists. www.jasenskadolina.sk
