Brezovica ski resort was established in 1954. The ski resort area is ideally situated on the north and northwest-facing slopes of the Šar National Park. The first of five ski lifts to the resort was installed in 1979. The resort features 16 kilometers of ski slopes located on the north and northeast facing slopes of the Šar Mountains. The resort was host to a number of international skiing events in the 1980s and 1990s but has since been developed for tourism.
