A funline with steep turns, terrain waves and a tunnel is part of the Pec pod Sněžkou ski resort. In Obří důl, marked trails lead through a nature reserve; at the chapel, photographs and texts recall a natural disaster in 1897. These varied highlights make Pec Pod Snežkou a destination for skiing, walks exploring local history and discoveries in the mountain landscape.
Skiing options with different focuses
The funline combines steep turns, terrain waves and a tunnel. Its layout may change; if you plan to try this skiing activity, check the latest information in advance.
The Live Park Javor has a different focus: it offers a learning area for children and beginners, as well as ski equipment rental and a ski school. Alongside the funline, there are also options for learning and equipment. Individual facilities may change, so if you are making specific plans, it is worth checking the latest information.
Trails, local history and excursions
The “Okolo Pece” walking trail starts at the square by Hospoda na Peci. Signs along the trail provide information about the history of the mountain town of Pec pod Sněžkou. The walk combines exercise with insights into the town’s past, without requiring a particular amount of walking time.
The “Mrtvé dřevo v živém lese” educational trail starts at the chapel in Obří důl. The chapel contains photographs and texts about the natural disaster of July 29, 1897. Those interested in the history of this event will find a dedicated point of interest there; the educational trail, in contrast, focuses on the forest.
A marked trail leads through Obří důl to Obří sedlo and on to Sněžka. In winter, access may be restricted due to avalanche conditions. For groups of five or more, the KRNAP Information Centre organizes guided excursions with a qualified and experienced guide. Group arrangements may change, so check your specific plans in advance.
Nature reserve and views
Obří důl is a nature reserve. Among other plants, it is home to alpine pasqueflower and butterbur. These two plants add a specific botanical dimension to the landscape, alongside the trails and the educational trail’s forest theme.
From the Hnědý vrch observation tower, you can see the main ridge of the Krkonoše Mountains, including Luční hora, Studniční hora, Sněžka and Růžová hora. The Pec pod Sněžkou–Hnědý vrch cable car takes visitors almost all the way to the observation tower. Its operation may vary depending on the season and weather; if you plan to take the cable car, check its current operating status in advance.
Brewery tour and beer bath
Pecký Pivovar offers guided brewery tours with tastings of its own beers and other culinary specialties. Booking arrangements may change, so it is advisable to confirm specific visit plans in advance.
Another option is a beer bath in a whirlpool tub or on a heated double bed. In addition to trails, skiing and natural attractions, visitors can also choose culinary and wellness experiences.
