With the arrival of a new year, the ski season has also been launched in Slovakia's southernmost and lowest-located ski resort in the village of Čechy near Nové Zámky (Nitra region). The slope with the lowest point at the altitude of 240 metres above the sea level and with the elevation of a modest 38 metres is covered with 40 centimetres of natural and artificial snow. The ski lift is being operated by the municipality of Čechy, which is with 300 inhabitants one of the smallest villages in Nitra region.
