Ski areál Chmelná
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.
