Ski resorts are spread across most of the Czech Republic, not only in the mountains, but also in terrains that are not perceived as mountainous at first glance – and yet they offer interesting options. Their offer is varied, the resorts are not similar, they typically have clearly given specifications determined both by the relief of the scenery, the surrounding nature, the technical parameters, as well as related services. Cross-country skiing has a very long tradition in the Czech Republic. The Czechs have cross-country skiing in

their blood. After all, their Union of Skiers in the Kingdom of Bohemia is the oldest national ski union in the world. In the last hundred years, cross-country skiing has gradually become a well-liked and widespread popular sport, and each winter more and more people go out “running”. Ski resorts have been adapting to this very quickly, maintaining the trails on even greater areas and with increasing quality. Rugged terrain and beautiful, often untouched landscape make crosscountry skiing in the Czech mountains an extraordinary experience. www.czechtourism.com/a/active-wintercross-country/
