As a child, one of my favorite winter activities, of course, was skiing. Everyone rode. Who is on what: who is on a sled, who is on the boards, who is on the packages. It was fun, and as they say today, extreme. Occasionally it was possible to see children on skis on these slides. History is silent about whether any of them became skiers or not.
But in our time, I think, their skills were useful to them, because skiing has become available not only to athletes. Most of those who wish can try themselves in this, still difficult, field. And they have a lot of special places at their disposal. But today the story will be about the best ski resorts in the Czech Republic.
Not only Schweik
As they say in one humorous novel: "Rabbits are not only fluffy fur …" The same can be said about the Czech Republic. The Czech Republic is not only a good soldier Schweik and landscapes for filming fairy tales and historical films, it is, first of all, a country of developed tourism, of which skiing is a part.
Ski resortsThe Czech Republic is one of the best in Europe and annually attracts the eyes of a huge number of tourists who have decided not to give preference to sunny beaches, but to the sunny slopes of the mountains! Let's talk about the best of them.
Klínovec is the father of all resorts
The border of the Czech Republic and Germany can attract the attention of tourists not only by the fact of its existence, but also by the fact that the largest ski resort of the Czech Republic - Klinovec is located nearby.
It is located in the Ore Mountains, whose nature is striking in its pristine beauty. According to the Czechs, the German border is so close that they can throw snowballs at the citizens of this country.
The forest is cut down
Having a fairly long history, the active development of this ski resort began in 1968. Somewhat later, it continued with massive deforestation to create two new routes. Which, however, did not affect the beauty of these places. A new impetus for development was the acquisition of the resort by a private company. This happened in 1991, after the "velvet" revolution, and led to a continuous improvement in the quality of services and expansion of the possibilities of the ski paradise.
This is one of the ski resorts in the Czech Republic that boasts an artificial snow system, making it "all-weather".
The "coolest"
Descent with a height of 1244 meters above sea level is located on Mount Klinovets. This is the steepest descent. Of course, it is intended primarily for professionals andexperienced craftsmen. For beginners, there are slopes specially designed for them, where they can indulge in their favorite activity in a safe environment.
Color evolution
By the way, the slopes in Klínovec are divided by color. "Chernaya" is a track for real professionals, and there is simply nothing for beginners to do there, since special staff closely monitors the qualifications of those arriving on it. And it is right. Safety first.
If you are confident in your skating, but do not reach the level of a professional, pay attention to the "blue" track. It will not deprive you of extreme pleasures, and you will not feel like a "teapot" for which the "red" tracks are intended. On the "red" slopes there are all conditions for a safe descent, including flat areas where you can take a break.
If you like to ride, love to carry sleds
Contrary to the famous saying, you don't have to "carry the sled" up. Ten lifts are responsible for this, which are safe and quite comfortable. By the way, children are completely free. Complementing the iridescent picture of this "coolest" ski resort in the Czech Republic, a snowboard park and a snow tunnel.
Paradise
This most popular ski resort in the Czech Republic and abroad has at its disposal a variety of complexes for tourists to stay during their holidays. From inexpensive boarding houses and hostels to luxury hotels.
The middle niche is filled by mini-hotels. Sporthotel Rudolf - perhaps the most popular amongvacationers. It offers a full range of standard services (TV, minibar and bath, WiFi), and for an additional fee, their list can be significantly expanded. Restaurants, spas, swimming pools and even museums are an integral part of the resort, and believe me, everyone will find what they are looking for.
Spindleruv ski resort in the Czech Republic
What is good for a Czech is good for a Russian too. For those Russians who like to spend their winter holidays here, the ski resort of Spindleruv Mlyn in the Czech Republic is not only familiar, but also one of the most attractive. And for good reason. This is the most famous ski resort that meets all the requirements of world standards. Many professional athletes prefer this particular ski resort.
On the slopes of three peaks
Three mountain peaks, located in the Krkonoše reserve, have placed on their slopes excellent slopes for both experienced and beginner skiers. A ski bus runs constantly to the five ski areas. The best ski jump parks in the Czech Republic are the perfect complement to the spacious pistes and the bobsleigh track. Moreover, it can please, first of all, lovers, which means it is available to many.
Nature doesn't have bad weather
I would like to say a few words about the climate. The climate of the Spindleruv Mlyn ski resort, as in many other resorts in the Czech Republic, is unusually mild and contributes to getting real pleasure from spending time on wonderful and at the same time extreme slopes.
KarlovyVary
If many names of ski resorts in the Czech Republic are unfamiliar to most Russians, especially the older generation, then there is one among them that surely caresses their ears. Its excellent location, close to Prague, attracts many tourists. After all, Prague is the tourist center of the country and excellent air communication with many states. So let's get started.
The ski resort of the Czech Republic Karlovy Vary is perhaps the most recognizable of the Czech resorts for Russians. During the summer season, Karlovy Vary was visited by tourists even during the time of the indestructible Soviet Union and enjoyed a well-deserved fame.
But even in winter, Karlovy Vary became a “rediscovered” place for recreation, turning into a mecca for skiers.
In our time, the popularity of the resort is only growing, despite the fact that there are more than a dozen ski resorts in the Czech Republic. Located at the foot of the Ore Mountains, they have slopes for snowboarders and skiers.
Apart from everything else, Karlovy Vary hosts a kind of festival in December. To the accompaniment of Czech musicians, ski lovers of all ages take part in various competitions, including even biathlon. All of them are not only sports, but also entertaining. Accompanied by numerous fireworks.
Gift of God
The ski resort "God's Gift" in the Czech Republic is one of the main places for sporting events. It is located twenty-five kilometers from KarlovyVar. Weather conditions determine the length of the season of this center. It usually starts in November and ends in April. Indeed, a gift from God.
You can compete on twenty-nine tracks covered with both natural snow cover and artificial. Well marked and mostly illuminated many kilometers of ski tracks can take you to Germany. Yes! They are connected into a single track.
Resort Country
As mentioned above, the Czech Republic has an enviable range of high-end ski resorts. Each of them is unique in its own way and is loved by tourists from different countries. And each of them can amaze the imagination with landscapes worthy of an artist's brush. It is not possible to describe them all in detail, but it is necessary to mention some.
Resort Rokytnice nad Jizerou. Snow covers the slopes here in December, and before that the condition of the ski slopes is maintained by special equipment.
Krkonose resort. Czech skiers prefer it. Mount Snezka is the highest point in the country. Snow cannons, which are improved every year, make it possible to ski here from November to April. The place is an international class resort and has the appropriate infrastructure. Restaurants, bars, museums and great hotels will serve visitors at the highest level.
Resort Janske Lazne. On the border of the Czech Republic and Poland there is another representative of ski tourism. The unofficial name given to it by the locals is "Gate to the Krkonoše". The resort hasmineral springs and is curative. It has the longest ski slopes in the Czech Republic, but despite this, it is ideal for families.
Resort Liberec/ Jested. Not far from the city of Liberec, this resort is located with a mild climate and snow cannons that keep the snow cover throughout the ski season. Education at this resort is an integral part of the services, and therefore it is ideal for those who want to spend holidays with the little ones. Specially trained instructors work with young skiers and prepare them for mastering difficult slopes.
Resort Harrachov. The dense forest and abundant snow in these places make it possible not to resort to the help of snow cannons. And the ski slopes are covered with natural snow during the season. This is perhaps the oldest resort in the Czech Republic, opened in 1920. "City of ski jumps" - this is how it is also called due to the five ski jumps on which competitions are regularly held.
Black Dul resort. Despite the fact that the resort is considered small, skiers do not deprive it of attention, thanks to its wide slopes. Magnificent snow cover is provided by snow cannons. Snowboarders can "get rid" in the fan park, open especially for them. And children will prefer the children's ski park, where, under the supervision of experienced instructors, they will learn the basics of skiing.
As in all ski resorts in the Czech Republic, the infrastructure here meets international standards.
Reviews of tourists
I would like to supplement the article with reviews of tourists a little. Majoritytravelers and locals are very satisfied with the conditions that Czech spas offer. Many note that the price is quite reasonable compared to other places in Europe.
Conclusion
That, perhaps, is all. It remains only to "get on the skis" and go to this magical land! In addition, reviews of ski resorts in the Czech Republic flooded the Internet and will definitely help to make a general impression of each tourist location.
