About the area

Svatý Petr - Pláň in the Giant Mountains is a red-run area: of about 10 km of pistes, 7 km are red, 3 km blue and 1 km black. That mix explains the verdicts. Beginners get only 26% of the terrain as easy skiing, so progress is limited, and it is not rated as a family destination. Experts also find little here — the single black run is 9% of the area — though the 440 m vertical on one descent gives strong intermediates something to work with, along with a longest run of 2775 m.

Five lifts serve the slopes: three chairlifts plus a T-bar and a J-bar. The skiing runs from 701 m to 1196 m, which is modest altitude for snow reliability, so check conditions before travelling. About 1 km of piste is floodlit for evening skiing.
