About the area

Tanvaldský Špičák is a small hill in the Giant Mountains and Orlické hory region, with 6 km of marked pistes. Just over 61% of that is green or blue (4 km), and four short easy runs sit next to a lift base, so learners can repeat the same slope without long traverses — though with 2 km of red and 0.4 km of black the choice runs out quickly. Experts have little here: the black share is only 7% and the biggest single descent gives 270 m of vertical.

Seven lifts serve the area, five platters and two chairlifts, which keeps queues spread out on a compact layout. The runs go from 538 m to 807 m, so this is a low-altitude area rather than a snow-sure one. The longest run measures 1,397 m, and 1 km of piste is floodlit for evening skiing.
