Pisoderi

Pisoderi (Template:Lang-el) is a village 17km west of Florina, Greece. It hosts one of the oldest ski resorts in Greece.

First mentioned in an Ottoman defter of 1481, the village, then known as Ipsoder, had only twelve households.[1]

The ski center is located on Mount Verno, and currently has five lifts and ten trails. The summit of the resort is 1939m above sea level, with a total vertical drop about 420m. The resort has a view of the Lake Prespa, on the border between Greece, Albania and the Republic of Macedonia.
