Up in the Krkonoše Mountains, it´s a great choice for mixing a bit of winter fun with a visit to magical Prague, a two-hour drive away (and a bit over three hours by bus or train). With a history reaching back to at least the 16th century and a resort town since the mid-19th, much of its architecture dates back to the Art Nouveau 1920s (when Franz Kafka was among the many Czechs who came here on holiday). The ski areas Svatý Petr (with an FIS World Cup black run and a big snow park) and Medvedín offer 28km (17 mi.) of pistes and 23 lifts, and there are also three others – Hromovka, Labská, and Horní Mísečky – all covered under one ski pass and each offering good skiing from newbie level to more experienced. The Svatý Petr and Hromovka base stations are the best bets for après-ski, with reasonable prices and a laid-back atmosphere.
