Skiing at SkiResort Cerna Hora was an absolute blast! It started off a bit rocky, as parking at the bottom was completely full, so we had to park a bit farther away. But the good news was that it was cheaper, and there was a free bus that took us around the slopes.
We also had the chance to borrow a sleigh, which was a ton of fun. The highlight of the day was taking the cable car up the mountain. It cost us 170 CZK for the kids and 225 CZK for adults, but it was worth every penny! The ride was surprisingly long, and the scenery was simply breathtaking. The landscapes and scenery were truly breathtaking.
The powder snow was an added bonus, and the restaurants up and down the slopes were also great. Although, there were many people lining up at the cable car, which made it a bit crowded inside. We went twice and there were people sneezing, which was a bit concerning.
The sledding was also a great experience, but we had to cross the slopes a few times where skiers and snowboarders were crossing. There were a few pits that made the sleigh fly high and hurt our backs, legs, and butts, but it was all part of the fun!
In conclusion, skiing at SkiResort Cerna Hora was an absolute blast and we would definitely do it...
Read moreIt's pretty decent ski area but it's also very expensive with 45 euro for a day pass. The overpass to the other side was just a huge trap. First as a snowboarder I had to walk half of the trip. While the map shows a continuous track of the lorries, in reality they drive 200meters and drop you off at a langlauf track, which isn't suitable for snowboarding, but they didn't care telling me this. After walking or skiing 700m you get another lorrie. That waited 15 minutes to fill up, than drove another 600m and dropped us at a piste. We then had to go over a road to the piste. By then we realized that we had to take a skibus over the road to get back. And again the map shows a single line but there was a transfer and it took us like 1 hour to get back with the bus. So we probably wasted 2 hours on going to the other side, which was...
Read moreForget about Polish Zieleniec (which is 1h & 20 min drive from there - unfortunately we booked our New Year break there ( a bad choice)) and come here to ski in a more civilised way. Ski lifts and facilities are new, and so far well maintained. Slopes are long and wide, and well connected (there are 4 (or 5) diffrent "resorts" you can enjoy on one ski pass ). Weather can be a challenge but it is beyond your influence anyway. Getting busy at the weekends but at least you have plenty of choice which slope, ski lift or resort to choose.... Austria or Italy still a bit better choice for more advanced skiers but Cerna Hora is very close to the Polish border - a perfect weekend destination (be prepared to pay a bit more than in Poland for ski pass...
