The whole place — the house and its sweeping grounds — is yours alone.
Skiing just around the corner — ski bus at the door, Černá hora 4 km.
The nearest slopes are not "somewhere up in the mountains" — they are in the same small town as the house. Five minutes by car, under half an hour on foot. It is the smallest area in the resort, and that is exactly why it suits children and first-timers while the rest of the group heads for the big slopes.
The area has a ski school, an equipment rental and a magic carpet for children.
Honestly: this is the lowest-lying area in the resort (roughly 530–600 m), so it depends entirely on snow and snowmaking and its season tends to be shorter than higher up. Before you build a whole stay around it, check that it is running.
The house sits in the SkiResort ČERNÁ HORA – PEC area, where, according to the operator, a single ski pass covers several ski areas. Driving times from Svoboda nad Úpou:
Do not expect one connected ski area. The only skiing link is the SkiTour from Černá hora to Pec — it works in one direction only and on two of its four sections a snowcat tows you; you come back by ski bus. Between the other areas you drive or take the ski bus; what joins them is the shared pass.
The SkiResort trunk ski bus stops right in Svoboda nad Úpou — among others Maršov II, Maršov I, Sokolovna, the bus station and Hotel PROM. The number of lines and the terms of carriage change from season to season, so check them with the operator.
In season it runs on floodlit pistes; the longest of them is Protěž on Černá hora — 1.6 km according to the operator. The exact days and times change, so look for the current schedule at the operator.
In a larger group somebody always skips the skiing — and out of seven nights, four or five are realistically ski days. This is the rest of the programme.
Map, filters and a tip for a particular day — no sign-up.
You are not booking rooms in a house where somebody else is staying too. You take the whole place — the house, the fenced grounds, the sauna, the gazebo and the fire pit. No reception desk, no strangers at breakfast, no waiting for the sauna to free up.
The parking area behind the gate with room for the whole group, and the house at the end of the drive among tall trees.
The video plays on its own, without sound. Subtitles are part of the picture; switch the sound on with the button and use the timeline to skip around.
A heated pool under a roof — open right through the summer season in any weather, rain included. Straight from the water into the sauna.
A separate room just for skis and boots: racks for skis and snowboards, boot holders and a washable floor. Wet gear stays downstairs and never goes into the bedrooms — in winter this is the question we get most often.
A Finnish sauna for your group alone, with an anteroom and a shower. No sharing, no time slots.
A fully equipped kitchen and a big wooden table that seats the whole group at once.
A newly finished open fire pit that takes the whole group. After dark it lights itself — warmth under an open sky.
Covered seating with two large electric grills and a table big enough for everyone at once. The roof holds, whether it rains or snows.
Climbing frames, a slide, swings and rope elements, plus a trampoline and table tennis. The kids get their own corner within sight of the gazebo.
A billiard table in the Apartment Suite — for a lazy afternoon or a tournament after dinner.
A long sofa under the beams and a big table — the Apartment Suite has its own social space.

22 beds — 19 + 3 extra beds. The layout you’ll split the group by.
No bunk beds — a calmer night, ideal for parents with small children too.
The newly finished open fire pit holds the whole group. A massive gabion wall forms a single composition with it and lights up automatically after dark — the lights switch on and off on their own. The heart of open-air evenings.
We are in Svoboda nad Úpou, 150 metres from the centre — shop, restaurant, train and bus are all within walking distance. And Sněžka is twenty minutes away by car.
The ski bus to SkiResort Černá hora–Pec stops 200 metres from the gate — you reach the lifts without the car and without hunting for a parking space. The car can then stay put on the grounds all week. Current fares and timetables are published by the operator.
