Cross - Country Skiing

 


The Jeseníky contain countless numbers of cross-country trails. As a result tourists can enjoy travelling through a fairy tale snowy countryside or gaze out at deep valleys from the summit of mountain ridges. Everyone will find a trail to suit their tastes. Beginners can set off on cross-country skis on easy trips, while hardy, experienced skiers will appreciate the more difficult cross-country trails. On travelling both shorter and longer distances, skiers will come across a range of points of interest of the Jeseníky landscape, romantically covered in snow.
