We are used to the mild Mediterranean climate in the Algarve, but this time one of our team members swapped sunshine for proper winter conditions.

The video was taken in Snowland Valcianska dolina in Slovakia, where skiing is one of the most popular sports. In winter, ski resorts across the country get really busy, with families and friends spending their weekends on the slopes.

Snow, cold air, slopes with skiers and endless fun for kids on the slides. A completely different setting from the Portuguese coast, but a great reminder that every place has its own season and atmosphere.

From the Algarve to the Slovak mountains - same The Portugal News team, just a very different climate
