Skiing in Bublava - Stříbrná

Skiing areal Bublava - Stříbrná are actually two separated places: smaller one in Stribrna with one anchor lift and the bigger areal in Bublava. The first one as smaller is nearly empty - no waiting to the lift. There are three roads: blue, red and black, but already the red is quite difficult red and suitable only for better skiers. There is also snow part for the beginners. The areal in Bublava offers seating and anchor lifts and more roads. Is suitable for real beginners and for good riders: so for whole family. For the easies parts there are sometimes queues up to 10-15 minutes. The infrastructure around is better: ski service and rent, bar etc. To sum up: Bublava is worth of spending there few winter days and get really tired with different skinning options without much crowed.

Ski in Swieradow Zdroj: SKI & SUN Świeradów Zdrój

Swieradow Zdroj SKI & SUN is an attractive place for beginners and moderately advanced skiers. It has only one (but long) blue road. At the beginning it is a bit tougher and later easy, even flat in some parts. Suitable for kids how learn to ski. Big advantage is that there are no queues to the gondola which is able to lift up to 2,400 people per hour. We were skiing in the main season during the sunny weekend and still we never waited longer then 3 minutes. For the smallest one there is also a small snow park and lift to make first steps on the snow. Fully recommendable for families.

Observation tower on Smrk

To the observation tower on Smrk (1,124 m) we walked from Świeradów Zdrój. All hiking to the top and back took us 5h. In the easier variant it is recommendable to take gondola lift in Świeradów Zdrój Ski&Sun and walk to Smrk from the upper station of Gondola. (2,5 km from station to the pick). On the way back in the winter we had a great sledges ride. From the tower on Smrk is beautiful view 360 degrees on Jizera Mountains, Giant Mountains (Krkonoše) and Polish lowland areas.


On the way we carry the smaller kid in the baby carrier or she ride on the sledges.
