About Pec pod Snezkou
Pec pod Sněžkou sits on the Úpa River, and most of the municipality outside the built-up area lies in Krkonoše National Park. Fewer than 700 people live here. The village dates from the 16th century, when lumberjacks from Styria, Carinthia and Tyrol settled the area, and copper and arsenopyrite were mined at Obří důl until 1959. The ski area has a chairlift, ten surface lifts, a freestyle park, an evening slope, a 900 m bobsleigh track and a snow tubing channel. The homes sit close to the town, mostly small for around five, with some sleeping eight or more. Outside the ski season the cable car and hiking and cycling in the range are the reason to come.
Is Pec pod Snezkou right for you?
- Best for
- Skiers and hikers wanting a small Czech mountain town
- Not for you if
- You want a pool, sauna or garden, since none of the homes here have them.

When to go to Pec pod Snezkou
Winter is the main season: many areas of the Giant Mountains stay snowy for five or six months, and the town has lifts, cross-country routes and an evening slope. Summer brings hiking and cycling across the range, but Sněžka is at least partly hidden in fog or cloud on about 296 days a year, so views are not guaranteed. Weather in the range changes often.
