Špindlerův Mlýn: Ski from Medvědín to Svatý Petr
Špindlerův Mlýn is located in the Krkonoše Mountains in North Bohemia, close to the Polish border. It is one of Czechia's best-known mountain resorts and is popular not only with downhill skiers but also with enthusiasts of cross-country skiing, mountain hiking, and après-ski activities. The surrounding area is also home to well-known natural attractions, including the source of the River Elbe and the Pančava Waterfall.
The biggest development for the 2026/2027 winter season will be a new connection between two sections of the Špindlerův Mlýn Ski Resort. Thanks to a new six-seater chairlift and new ski slopes, skiers will be able to travel from Medvědín towards Svatý Petr without having to take a ski bus.
The new Audi Line Přehradní chairlift will feature heated seats and protective bubble covers. It is scheduled to open on 12 December 2026, when the traditional Špindl SkiOpening event is also expected to take place.
