Ski Holidays in the Czech Republic Are Affordable
A ski holiday in the Czech Republic is still an insider tip. But the number of ski and snowboard holidaymakers is rising. Although the size of the ski areas and the number of holidaymakers cannot compare with neighbouring countries, the beauty of the scenery and the range of activities certainly can.
Ski resorts in the Czech Republic
The ski resorts in the Czech Republic have many advantages: they are very family-friendly. Ski and snowboard lessons are very affordable, as are the ski lifts, snowboard fun parks and ski equipment rental. Restaurant prices are also exceptionally low, including at ski huts and even in castle gourmet restaurants. That makes the Czech Republic ideal for a family holiday, especially with young children. The resorts are not overcrowded and offer a relaxing ski holiday.

The Giant Mountains and Johannisbad
The Czech Republic has 300 ski resorts. The Giant Mountains are among the largest and are ideal for snowboarders. At around 1,600 m, the highest mountain, Snezka (Schneekoppe), offers ideal terrain for winter sports, as well as hiking, Nordic walking and cross-country skiing. Beautiful trails lead through magnificent forests. The popular spa town of Janske Lazne (Johannisbad), with its thermal spring, lies in the valley. Cosy cafés invite you to linger and relax.
Driving in the Czech Republic has its advantages, too. Fuel is very affordable, significantly cheaper than in Germany. Diesel costs around 0.75 euros. That leaves more of your holiday budget to spend on other things. With so much on offer, you can really enjoy your ski holiday in the Czech Republic.
