Skifahren in Tschechien

To those who are not already familiar with it, The Czech Republic has a surprisingly large number of ski areas with more than 100 to choose from dotted all around the country, including many within easy reach of the German border or the historic and vibrant capital city of Prague.

Although skiing is generally located at relatively low altitudes compared to the Alps to the south, between 700m to 1300m above sea level, most resorts have a good snow record with the support of increasingly sophisticated snow making networks. So they can offer good quality skiing, accommodation and aprés ski.

Many Czech ski resorts are now equipped with modern facilities and well prepared slopes and cross-country routes for everyone from beginners to experienced skiers. In Špindleruv Mlyn there is an annual World Cup competition in alpine skiing disciplines.
