Tips from the community

In Czechia, head north for mountains. That’s where the summits of Sněžka (translating to Snow Mountain) and Skalny Stół arch their backbones across the Polish border. The highest range in the country, the peaks of Krkonoše National Park soar to 1,602 meters above sea level. Around them spans a region that’s ribbed with dangling ski lifts and peppered with pine forests and little spa towns. It’s a darn lovely place to escape to both summer and winter.
