Winter in Vsetín – mountain hotel Vsacký Cáb and Nordic ski center

In the western part of the Beskids, between the Rožnov and Vsetín Bečva rivers, in the midst of the mountainous Wallachia, lies the picturesque area of Vsacký Cáb with its namesake cottage at an elevation of 842 m above sea level.

New edition

Thanks to its excellent location, it has the largest tourist, cycling, and winter cross-country skiing trail intersections in the Beskids. The main ridge trail, the Beskydy Magistral, marked in red, starts in Třinec and ends in Vsetín. There is easy year-round access by vehicle (including bus). There is parking at the hotel, large grassy fields, playgrounds, and outdoor fire pits. The hotel is equipped with rooms with private facilities and suite rooms, a sauna, and a whirlpool. The local home cuisine with Wallachian fireplace specialties is excellent. 

In winter, it becomes a paradise for cross-country skiing enthusiasts. Notoriously known among skiers is the fifty-kilometer Beskydy Valašská 50: a race organized by KČT along the ridge from Bumbálka through Třeštík, Benešky, Soláň, Vsacký Cáb, and Dušná to Vsetín. 

You will also find shorter recreational trails:

Dušná – Vsacký Cáb, 5 km: the trail runs off the road and is groomed by a snowcat. 

Around Vsacký Cáb, 7 km: from the parking lot at the hotel to the Ptáčnice crossroads, to the Baťa educational trail to Cábské jezírko and back.

Where to go during Advent: Tips for winter trips

The Advent season is perfect for small escapes from the daily hustle and bustle. Whether you feel like taking a walk in the winter nature, visiting Christmas markets, or just a short trip to enjoy the atmosphere of lights and good food, we have a selection of places that are worth seeing during the pre-Christmas time. Bundle up and head out to enjoy Advent in your own way.

A dream come true: the unattainable hitmaker Calvin Harris will come to Beats for Love for the first time.

The largest electronic dance music festival in the heart of Europe has revealed another global megastar who will perform at the 12th edition of this celebration of dance and music in the open air. This year, the organizers are introducing a number of enhancements and innovations alongside the headliners, which will take Beats for Love a step further and further improve its position on the map of unforgettable global cultural events. Additionally, fans who want to gift a piece of Beats for Love to their loved ones for Christmas will also be catered to this year.

Last-minute gift? Give the love that knows no age or boundaries.

In the pre-Christmas hustle, we often seek something more than just items wrapped in paper. We look for an experience, an emotion, a moment that will remain. And such a gift could be a ticket or a gift voucher to Nová Spirál – the legendary multi-genre space in Prague, which is once again coming to life with exceptional performances after its reopening.

First Advent Sunday at Holešovice Market: meat, markets, and Christmas cheer

Meat lovers, beware! The Butchers' Day is moving to the Holešovice Market for the first time this year, bringing a unique gastronomic experience. The event is scheduled for the first Advent Sunday, November 30, and will offer a selection of the best meat specialties from top Czech butchers and restaurants connected to Naše maso, which is part of Ambiente. The move to the market is not coincidental – new Ambiente businesses are being established here, transforming the Holešovice Market into one of the most interesting gastronomic centers in Prague. Visitors to the Sunday event can also look forward to Christmas markets full of traditional handmade gifts and old Czech delicacies, making Butchers' Day a great opportunity to combine culinary experiences with the Christmas atmosphere.

We have a plan... It's a bit crazy. Check out the trailer for Part 1 of the final season of Stranger Things.
