The Ore Mountains are made for winter fun.
The Karlovy Vary Region is home to one of the most beautiful mountain ranges in the Czech Republic – the Ore Mountains. Their varied landscape, beautiful panoramas and perfectly groomed ski runs attract winter sports enthusiasts.
Choose from winter resorts with terrain for beginners and experienced skiers alike. Ski resorts at Klínovec – the highest mountain in the Ore Mountains (1,244 m), Boží Dar – the highest town in Central Europe (1,020 m), and Plešivec – the newest ski resort in the Czech Republic, can stand comparison with international competition. Smaller resorts offer relaxed skiing and a great opportunity for beginners. Modern facilities, children’s areas, snowparks, equipment rentals, service centres and a wide range of refreshments await.
Follow the white trail through the snow-covered landscape, which feels especially fairytale-like in winter. Hundreds of kilometres of groomed cross-country trails await around Pernink and Horní Blatná, as well as in the popular Eduard Ski Resort between Jáchymov and Boží Dar. The Ore Mountains Trail between Bublava and Boží Dar is particularly popular.
Families looking to enjoy winter fun with their children, as well as adrenaline sports enthusiasts, will also be delighted. Your children will love snowtubing – riding special inflatable tubes through a snowy channel – while you can try snowkiting.
In bad weather, both young and adult athletes will certainly appreciate public skating at KV Arena in Karlovy Vary, as well as ice stadiums in Ostrov, Cheb, Sokolov, Nejdek and Mariánské Lázně.
Looking for perfect relaxation after a full day of skiing? Choose from a rich selection of spa and wellness treatments in the spa towns of Jáchymov, Karlovy Vary, Mariánské Lázně and Františkovy Lázně, located close to the ski resorts. Treat yourself to beneficial baths or relaxing massages and restore your body after a demanding day. Enjoy a winter holiday in the Karlovy Vary Region.
