SKI AREÁL CHOTOUŇ – BASIC INFORMATION

We operate a small family ski resort conveniently situated near Prague. While our location is very convenient, the central Czech Republic setting doesn't offer large mountains, so except a moderate hill. Our snow is primarily man-made, utilizing snow cannons, and its quality relies on weather conditions and cold temperatures. Our dedicated team ensures daily slope maintenance with a snowplough.

Skiing in our area is very popular, which leads to weekend crowds, so please expect queues. Weekdays, however, offer a more relaxed environment, as there are less people. You can always monitor the situation through our webcams on www.vlekychotoun.cz

If you are an absolute beginner unfamiliar with skiing, it's important to understand the challenges and potential dangers. If you're new to skiing, consider booking a lesson in advance through our ski school (more information at https://skola.vlekychotoun.cz/ ). In addition to that, please use our beginner area for your first skiing attempts, ensuring responsible behaviour to avoid endangering fellow skiers. We try to create a welcoming and safe environment for all skiers – please act responsibly to ensure everyone’s safety.

Our ski resort area is designed for skiing and snowboarding only. Sledding and bobsledding is strictly prohibited.

SKIING

The main ski slope is 300 metres long and is served by 2 ski lifts.

You can choose between two types of fares – per ride or for time. You must decide what is more convenient for you when purchasing, as you can't return or exchange an already purchased and used ticket for another one. The selected fare is loaded on a contactless card, for which you need to give a deposit of 100 CZK. Each person must have their own card, except for children under 4 years old who ride for free. Any remaining rides on the card can be used throughout the season. When the credit is exhausted or if you do not want to use it anymore, return the card to the ticket office and you will get your deposit back. No refund for any remaining credit.

An important note is that we do not accept credit cards, only cash.

The prices per person: 100 CZK for 1 hour, 150 CZK for 2 hours and 200 CZK for 3 hours. Everyone who is in the area (with or without skis) pays, except for children under 4 years old, who get in for free.

RENTAL

We have our own rental shop on site, where you can rent skis, snowboard, boots, helmet, poles, for both children and adults.

We do not offer rental of clothes, gloves, or ski goggles, you need to have your own. There is no need to make a reservation at the rental shop, there is plenty of equipment.

We do not accept credit cards, only cash. You will also need a passport, ID card or residence permit, which you can show, and we will write down your details.

Please allow plenty of time for renting and trying on equipment, especially if you have booked a lesson with an instructor - we recommend at least half an hour, more for larger groups (over 4 people).
