Family skiing near Polička

Ski areál Chmelná is a small, quiet ski resort situated in the picturesque Vysočina region, in the village of Chmelná, which is located near the historic town of Polička. The resort is an ideal choice for families with children, beginner skiers, and those seeking relaxing skiing away from the crowds of large resorts. Due to its location at a moderate altitude of approximately 500 metres above sea level, it relies on technical snowmaking, which ensures good snow conditions throughout the winter season.

The resort offers two downhill slopes with a total length of approximately 350 metres. The main slope is for intermediate skiers, suitable for improving skiing technique, and is regularly groomed by a snowcat. Transport of skiers is provided by one ski lift. In addition, a short children's lift or a rope tow for the little ones is available, intended for first ski turns and instruction. A major advantage of the resort is the possibility of evening skiing on an illuminated slope, which extends the skiing day. Basic facilities are available directly in the resort, including a buffet with refreshments and a rest area.

Lyžařský areál Chmelná is located in the village of Chmelná, not far from Polička. The resort is easily accessible by car. Free parking for visitors is available in the immediate vicinity of the slope. The nearest railway station is in Polička, from where one can continue to Chmelná by bus.

What to discover in the surroundings

The surroundings of Chmelná are situated in the Svitavsko region and within sight of the protected landscape area Žďárské vrchy. The dominant feature is the nearby historic town of Polička, which boasts a well-preserved Městské opevnění v Poličce with the opportunity to climb the tower and visit the Rodná světnička Bohuslava Martinů in the museum building. For lovers of hiking and nature, the protected landscape area Toulovcovy maštale with its unique rock formations and caves is within reach. Not far away is the hrad Svojanov, one of the oldest stone castles in Bohemia. Maintained cross-country skiing tracks also lead through the surroundings, connecting to the trails of Žďárské vrchy, which are ideal for cross-country skiers.
