About the area
Medvědín in Špindlerův Mlýn is a compact hill of about 19 km of pistes, and just under half of that (9 km) is green or blue. Beginners can get going here, with nine short easy runs grouped near a lift base, but the caveat is real: red runs add up to 6 km, so progress off the easy terrain comes quickly. Experts have little to work with — around 1 km, or 6%, is black-graded. The area suits intermediates most, plus anyone happy to lap the same slopes.
Eight lifts serve the hill: two chairlifts and six drag lifts (two T-bars, four platters). The vertical runs from 732 m to 1232 m, with 437 m of descent on a single run and a longest run of 2285 m — modest altitudes, so watch conditions. There are 2 km of floodlit piste and 457 km of cross-country trails in the region.
