The Krkonose Mountains have the most
visitors during the winter season, when the downhill
skiers arrive. Besides the big ski-areas in Harrachov,
Spindleruv Mlyn, Janske Lazne and Pec there are also
smaller ski-areas to draw guests. Many special slopes and
ski-schools make it easy for beginners to join the fun on
skis and snowboards. But the many "red" and
"black" pistes will also get advanced skiers
their money's worth. Moderate prices for accomodation,
food, drinks and lifts add to the region's overall
attractivity.
Tourist season: The winter season starts end of November/beginning
of December. Christmas and New Years definitely mark the
peak season of the Krkonose Mountains. As accomodation is
scarce during this time of the year, it is highly
recommended to book in advance! The best time for winter
sports is from January to the beginning of March.
