Italian culinary tradition, contemporary fine dining and the mountain landscapes of Kopaonik meet directly beside the Malo Jezero ski slope.
Fine Dining on the Slopes
Set at an altitude of around 1,770 metres, directly beside the Malo Jezero ski slope, La Pista brings an ambitious dining experience to the heart of Kopaonik. Part of Gorski Hotel & Spa yet distinctive in its own identity, the restaurant combines striking mountain views, contemporary architecture and a warm interior that moves naturally between lively daytime dining and an intimate evening atmosphere.
Italian culinary philosophy forms the foundation of the menu. Premium ingredients sourced from Italy appear in pizzas, handmade pastas, risottos and carefully composed à la carte dishes, while produce from Kopaonik and its surroundings gives the restaurant a strong connection to the mountain. Wild blueberries, forest mushrooms, wild garlic, elderflower, pine needles, local honey, cheeses, native grains and meat from indigenous breeds are interpreted through contemporary techniques and imaginative presentation.
During the day, La Pista offers an elegant place to pause between runs, with its spacious terrace opening directly towards the ski slope. In the evening, the experience becomes more refined, with seasonal tasting menus, thoughtful wine pairings and dishes shaped by the kitchen’s dialogue between Italy and Serbia. Recognised by the Gault&Millau guide, La Pista stands apart as one of the most ambitious culinary addresses beyond Serbia’s largest cities.
