Ski resorts in the Czech Republic
Despite the absence of peaks of many thousands, the Czech Republic annually becomes a place of real pilgrimage for lovers of winter outdoor activities. The country is surrounded on all sides by mountains, in which more than 200 ski centers are located, and therefore the Czech Republic can rightfully be called an ideal place for a winter vacation or vacation..
Almost 450 kilometers of ski and snowboard slopes and trails in the country will help to show athletic abilities both true professionals and green beginners. By the way, many Czech ski areas are focused on the possibilities of family recreation. Here, not only schools are open for children and those who are just learning to ride, but also parks are equipped in which a conveyor belt delivers to the skiing site, and ski carousels help kids overcome the fear of the first descent.
The Czech Republic is very compact, and all excursion sites here, literally, are within walking distance. Therefore, the sports program can be successfully combined with an excursion and tasting program. After all, the best beer in the world and in winter has not been canceled!
Spa Spindleruv Mlyn
The largest and most famous Czech ski resort is located just two hours from the capital's airport. The season starts at the very beginning of winter and lasts until early April. It offers two ski areas. There are 11 slopes on Mount St. Peter, among which there are trails for beginners. Boarders also prefer to ride here. The total length of the tracks on St. Peter is 13 km, and almost all of them are artificially illuminated in the evenings. There are no queues for the lifts, since their capacity is up to 9 thousand people per hour.
Board workers can hone their skills on the ramps and trampoline, which are quite decently executed here. A ski school and equipment rental centers will help those who first come to the mountains to decide what to get up on: ski or snowboard.
The beginning of the second ski area, the Medvedin descent, lies at an altitude of about a kilometer. There are only seven tracks, one of which is marked in black. Boardmen can use the slopes designed specifically for them, and the cable car and seven lifts allow you to move up quickly enough.
Spa Rokytnice nad Jizerou
A large ski resort is located on the slope of a mountain with a typical Czech unpronounceable name - Smrk. Its height above sea level is a little less than 550 meters. The resort has two ski areas - Studenov and Lysaya Gora. The first zone has many green slopes in its arsenal and is revered by beginners, married couples with children and very adult skiers. Snowboarders also hang out in the Studenov area, because this is where the snow park is equipped..
The second skiing region in the resort is located on the slope of Lysaya Gora on the southern side. It offers 14 km of pistes, which are mostly marked in blue. Almost all slopes are equipped with snow cannons in case of the vagaries of the Czech weather. The season in the resort, like in most of the country, lasts from December to almost the end of April.
Liberec Spa
Located on the northern slope of Mount Ještěd, which is just over a kilometer high, the resort is characterized by particularly strong snow from the beginning of winter to the end of April. The 13 slopes in Liberec offer skiing to intermediate and professional athletes, half of them are red and a fifth are black. 10 modern lifts serve about 10 thousand people per hour, so guests of the resort do not experience any temporary inconveniences even during rush hours.
In the lower part of the slope, in addition to the children's area, there is a snow park with tramps and rails. There are also three ski jumps and downhill trails. In the evening, all this wealth is illuminated and sets you up for romantic rides. When the skis and boards are resting, their owners go to the town of Liberec, on the territory of which there are two unique attractions: the Botanical Garden and the Bohemian Zoo..
For skiing, it is best to purchase ski passes for the entire vacation period. For example, a one-day pass to the ski area will cost about $ 25, while a weekly pass will cost about $ 140..
Harrachov Spa
This resort is located in a valley in the Krknoše mountain range, and it is surrounded by three rather high mountains at once. Eight local trails are specially laid through very picturesque places and lead skiers either to a waterfall or to the sources of the Elbe River.
The ski area in the resort lies at about a kilometer altitude and descends to the level of 650 meters. Snow cannons provide reliable coverage throughout the season. The tracks here are quite difficult, they have, among other things, red and black markings, and therefore are suitable only for professionals. 15 lifts bring skiers and boarders to the skiing spots.
A fan park will also be equipped in Harrachov, with the opening of which the resort will undoubtedly enjoy even more popularity among board-goers. In the meantime, all athletes are attracted here not only by the tracks, but also by the well-developed network of hotels, restaurants and leisure centers..
