Špindlerův Mlýn Ski Resort — Attraction in okres Trutnov

Nice, ski area for families. Many blue and red slopes. Red is not really very difficult. I'm not realy a hero on skies and I don't really like the red slope in for example Avoriaz, but these red slopes are not comparable to red in France or Austria. These in Špindlerův Mlýn are nice and wide and you can better call them dark blue :) Don't expect that you are on your skis or snowboard for a whole day going from one mountain to the other, which you can in Austria or France, but you can be busy here all day on the skis. The ski bus takes you to all slopes in this area for free.

The village has many hotels, pensions and restaurants where it is still reasonably cheap to eat. There are many, especially sports / ski clothing stores which are outrageously expensive in contrast to eating out or the groceries you can get there.

The medical care here is now modern and up-to-date. The medic point in the village is very professional, friendly (we unfortunately experienced it personally), modern and up-to-date . I think the ski area can be on bucket lists for family's with young kids. Mooi overzichtelijk skigebied voor gezinnen. Veel blauwe en rode pistes. Rood is niet echt heel erg moeilijk. Ik ben zelf geen held op de skies en vind de rode piste in bijvoorbeeld Avoriaz niet zo heel erg leuk, maar deze rode pistes zijn niet te vergelijken met rood in Frankrijk of Oostenrijk. Deze hier zijn fijn breed en eigenlijk kun je ze beter donker blauw noemen :) Verwacht niet dat je een hele dag met de ski's of snowboard onderweg bent van de ene berg naar de andere berg zoals bv in Oostenrijk of Frankrijk wel kan, maar je kunt hier wel de hele dag lekker bezig zijn. De skibus brengt je gratis naar alle pistes in dit gebied.

Het dorp heeft veel hotels, pensionnen en restaurantjes waar je nog goedkoop kunt eten. Er zijn veel, vooral sport /skikleding winkels die dan weer schreeuwend duur zijn in tegenstelling tot het uit eten gaan of de boodschappen die je er kunt doen.

Het medic point in het dorp is heel erg professioneel, vriendelijk (hebben we helaas aan den lijve ondervonden), modern en up-to-date. Ik vind dit skigebied een aanrader, zeker voor gezinnen met...

I think Spindleruv Mlyn is BEAUTIFUL.. but overpriced. food, acomodación and Gopass. I was coming here since 10 years, past 2 I feel disappointed. Today we had 2 slopes open. Sure - the highest point was closed because of the wind. But they even didn’t bother to prepare the one that was lower with snow groomer. Slopes were full of bumps and unpleasant. Other details:

Service. They are treating all ppl like frauds. Suddenly they blocked my card/Gopass.I went to the cashier and the lady told me somebody pass after me while crossing the gate. I didn’t know this person. He/she made it without my counciousnes. Instead of looking for this person they were punishing me - well done. I haven’t heard “sorry for inconvenience”. I guess the lady was expecting repentance from me.

I am questioning their ethic. They are pushing ppl to buy Gopass trough the machine. It’s fine that they are trying to modernize the system. You just need to give them all your information: birth date/email etc. that (as we all know) has grate value nowadays. If you don’t want to give your data - BOOM. The prices for Gopass are raising. I would say they are ridiculously expensive if you wanna buy them in conventional way. So YOU HAVE TO give your data. I haven’t felt that it’s voluntary. I think it’s sneaky.

God is in...

Certainly the largest and most expensive ski resort in Czechia with highest popularity, well developed infrastructure of hotels and restaurants however with some flaws worth considering before investing your time and money: Tons of people especially during peak season, long lines, people waiting for their turn not just in the traffic but also at the slope lift. Quite expensive for what u r getting in the end, real cash grabber especially for the families can make your wallet dry pretty quickly. Parking at Medvedin slope is not paved and quite messy on the wet day with lot of puddles and mud, something what should have been addressed and fix long time ago for the price you're paying for. Gopass app is a complicated and unintuitive mess not created to easily and quickly process your payment and buy your ski pass. Otherwise the place OK especially when there's some natural pow especially at Medvedin u can try some forest ride looking...
