Ski area Ještěd

The Ještěd ski area lies right at the edge of Liberec, where a diverse selection awaits winter sports fans along about 9 km of piste. Four free parking lots can be found at the various lifts. A tram takes visitors from the parking lot right to the Skalka chair lift, which leads up to the Černý vrch. Another parking lot can be found right at the modern gondola, which leads up to the highest point on the Ještěd at around 1,000 m altitude. At the peak, a mountain restaurant and mountain hotel stand tall as one of the symbols of Liberec. The top of the modern tower reaches high into the sky and doubles as a TV tower.

In the areas that can be reached with the gondola and the chair lifts, relatively demanding red pistes and one black piste can be found, and only red pistes run back down into the valley to the parking lots! When taking the Skalka chair lift, you can make your way to a somewhat flatter area with several wide, blue pistes. It's here where you can also find the snow park with its challenging set up.

The infrastructure of the ski area is modern and, with 11 runs, an almost perfect capacity for artificial snow, ski schools, equipment hire, diverse huts and snack shacks, a toboggan run, and an illuminated night skiing run, no wish goes unfulfilled.
