Ice cream shops in Žilina Region

Beyond Žilina this is cooked-cream-ice-cream country. Family brands in Orava and Ružomberok simmer their base for hours to unchanged recipes and keep dozens of flavours in the counter.

Unusual flavours turn up too — sheep-yoghurt ice cream, or one with juniper spirit. The best addresses are out in the villages: kiosks near Bytča and on the road to Terchová draw queues all summer. In the spa towns and the mountains, some shops are seasonal.
