park at Červenohorské sedlo is full, an additional car park
is available at the village of Kouty nad Desnou where a shuttle
bus will transport visitors to the area. The altitude above

gentle runs up to steep slalom slopes, designed for the most
advanced skiers. Visitors will also find all the necessary
services including quality dining and accommodation facilities

the construction of two new chair lifts to improve access
for skiers to the entire centre from the satellite parking
facilities on the outskirts of the village. The centre also
