Špindlerův Mlýn is a mountain town that is a popular tourist destination and an important center with a long tradition of winter sports. It lies on the Elbe River, right in the heart of the highest Czech mountains, the Krkonoše. It is one of the most famous and most visited winter sports centers in the Czech Republic. Špindlerův Mlýn has ideal conditions for winter sports. The Alpine Skiing World Cup is held here regularly. The ski and cross-country trails are open for up to 5 months a year. Professionally maintained downhill slopes of varying degrees of difficulty reach a total length of 25 km. Fourteen lifts and cables provide a transport capacity of 17,500 skiers per hour. With one ski pass, you can ski on the slopes of five ski resorts (Stoh, Medvědín, Hromovka, Davidovy boudy, and Labská). Most of the slopes are covered with artificial snow in case of low snow cover. Fans of peaceful relaxation in the middle of mountain nature, sports enthusiasts, and entertainment seekers will all find something to enjoy here.
