Špindlerův Mlýn Ski Resort
Skiareál Špindlerův Mlýn
The largest and best-known ski resort in the Czech Republic, split into the Svatý Petr and Medvědín areas. In summer, cable cars carry hikers up the mountain.
Špindlerův Mlýn is the tourist hub of the Krkonoše Mountains. The ski resort is made up of two snowfield areas, Svatý Petr and Medvědín, with about 25 km of pistes for every level from beginner to expert. Night skiing and the snowboard park are also popular. In summer, the Medvědín cable car takes hikers straight up to the ridge, from where they can reach the source of the Elbe and the Elbe Falls. The town has a full range of hotels, restaurants, and ski rental shops. From Prague, a long-distance bus takes about 2.5 hours, and crowds are heavy on peak-season weekends.
