Pustevny is the starting point for a popular cross-country skiing area. Several cross-country ski trails run through Pustevny; a total of 74 km of cross-country ski tracks of varying difficulty are groomed in the surrounding area. Among the most sought-after routes with magnificent views is the easy ridge route towards Radhošť or Martiňák. The location can also serve as a starting point for further excursions.

Winter and Trails

The Radhošťská ovčí dálnice educational trail is approximately 4 km long and leads from the Pustevny saddle to the Chapel of Saints Cyril and Methodius on Radhošť. Nine stations focus on the nature, landscape and history of this beautiful and widely known part of the Beskids. In winter, the educational trail can be completed on skis, and in summer by mountain bike.

From Pustevny, the statue of Radegast can be reached via a wide path that is also marked as a blue hiking trail and as the European long-distance trail E3. The statue stands halfway between Pustevny and Radhošť at an elevation of 1,120 metres.

Accessibility

Pustevny can be reached by cable car, bicycle, on foot, by bus or by car.

Culture

The Pustevny cultural heritage complex, with the dominant buildings Libušín, Maměnka and Zvonice, is a unique ensemble of Art Nouveau buildings by the Slovak architect Dušan Samuel Jurkovič from the late 19th century. The complex has been designated a national cultural monument since 1995. After the 2014 fire, Libušín was rebuilt through a scholarly reconstruction; the same materials and craft techniques as those used more than a hundred years ago were used in the process.

Every January, Pustevny hosts an exhibition of ice and snow sculptures with a long-standing tradition.

View

The top floor of the Stezka Valaška observation tower is located at 1,099 metres above sea level and offers views extending up to 100 kilometres.
