Špindler's Mill is connecting. The Krkonošsko Mountains are preparing new ski slopes and winter experiences.

New slopes in Špindlerův Mlýn, more modern snowmaking, and a program after the last ride on the lift. The Krkonošská resorts are presenting news for the winter 2026/2027. The connection between Medvědín and Svatý Petr will begin this year in one direction, with the next phase to follow next season.

New edition

This winter vacation in the Krkonoš mountains will bring new opportunities for switching slopes and enjoying the mountains after skiing. The most significant change is planned in Špindlerův Mlýn: the first phase of the long-prepared connection between Medvědín and Svatý Petr is set to facilitate the transfer between the two main parts of the ski area in the 2026/2027 season.

From Medvědín slopes to Svatý Petr

From Medvědín, skiers will be able to access the new slope to Hromovka, from where they can continue on a six-seater chairlift with heated seats and protective bubbles. This way, they can switch between the slopes of both parts of the area in one day without needing to transfer by car or ski bus.

In the winter of 2026/2027, the connection will be one-way, from Medvědín to Svatý Petr. The opposite direction will be ensured by the next phase: a ten-seater gondola lift from terminal P1 to the top of Medvědín. A complete two-way connection is planned for the 2027/2028 season.

The Špindl SkiOpening is scheduled for December 12, 2026. According to the latest press release, ski passes are already on sale. You can find details on the website of the Špindlerův Mlýn Ski Area.
