Krkonoše

Easy ski tour to Vrbatovo návrší, which offers a beautiful view of the surrounding ridges of the Giant Mountains. Not far above the popular mountain hut is the monument of Hanč and Vrbata, who died in 1913 during cross-country skiing race. The ascent begins in the parking lot of the cable car to Medvědín and along the edges of the ski slope and the connecting paths to the top of the Medvědín ski slopes. From here along a flat ridge to Vrbatova bouda and Vrbatovo návrší.

The ski tour begins in the Svatý Petr ski resort at the lower station of the Pláně cable car. A simple gradual ascent interrupts the crossing of the Stoh ski slope. Crampons can be useful on the icy surface of the steep north slope. Soon a couple of switchbacks and possibly a short descent to Bouda Klínovka. Chalupa na Rozcestí and Výrovka offer further refreshment options. A descent leads from Výrovka through the Dlouhý důl valley to Špindlerův Mlýn.

A round trip around the huts above Špindlerův Mlýn. The route begins with a descent from Bradlerovy boudy and goes into the Labsjý důl valley. The ascent to Labská bouda and about 1 km behind the hut begins the descent to Martinova bouda and then to the Brádlerovy boudy. Possible to combine with the ascent to Vysoké kolo. Another variant is the ridge route from Labská bouda via Vysoké kolo - see the Krkonoše-haute route day1 ski tour.
