Best Slopes in the Czech Republic

The Czech Republic has a solid range of ski areas for snowboarding and skiing. Resorts are generally smaller than in the Alps but offer reliable snowmaking, affordable lift passes, and family-friendly facilities. This guide covers where to go and what to expect.

Spindleruv Mlyn

Spindleruv Mlyn is one of the most popular resorts in the country. It sits in the Krkonose (Giant Mountains) and has a good mix of blue and red runs, plus some black terrain for advanced riders. Snowmaking is extensive, and the resort is well set up for day trips from Prague. For more detail, see our Spindleruv Mlyn guide.

Lipno

Lipno in South Bohemia is often recommended for beginners and families. The slopes are gentle, and the area is less crowded than some northern resorts. It is a practical choice if you are learning or travelling with children.

Dolni Morava

Dolni Morava in the east of the country has grown in recent years with new lifts and slopes. It offers varied terrain and is known for good snow conditions thanks to altitude and snowmaking. Worth considering if you want something a bit different from the Krkonose.

Harrachov and Pec pod Snezkou

Harrachov has a mix of slopes and is known for ski jumping. Pec pod Snezkou sits under Snezka, the highest peak in the Czech Republic, and gives access to longer runs. Both are in the north and work well for a weekend or day trip.
