DeutschA family holiday should be a rest – for the parents too. In Harrachov that works because everything is close together: Hotel Šedý Vlk stands right on the ski slope, the town centre is a short walk away, the pool is in the building and dinner is already included. Add the Krkonoše Mountains with trips that even small children can manage.
Why Harrachov with children?
Harrachov is a compact mountain town without traffic stress. Child-friendly spots such as the Mumlava Waterfalls, the summer toboggan run or the glassworks are within walking distance or a few minutes away. In winter the nursery slope starts right at the hotel, and ski schools look after the little ones. And if the weather turns, there is the heated pool in the building.
For families arriving from abroad, Harrachov is easy to reach: about two hours from Prague, under an hour from Jelenia Góra, around two and a half hours from Wrocław and three from Dresden – fine for a long weekend as well as a full week.
Family rooms, pool and half-board
Triple and quadruple rooms give the whole family space, some with a balcony and a view of the mountains. Every room has an en-suite bathroom and satellite TV. Breakfast and dinner are included – a real advantage with children, because the evening does not start with a search for a restaurant.
The heated pool with a relaxation zone is part of the stay. While the children splash, you relax at the poolside or book the private Finnish sauna for later.
Summer with children in Harrachov
- Mumlava Waterfalls – the classic: a flat forest path along the river, a good half hour from the hotel.
- Summer toboggan run – fun for children and parents in the middle of town.
- Harrachov Glassworks – watch glass being made; a great plan for a rainy day.
- Chairlift up Čertova hora – views without the effort, easy trails at the top.
- Cycling – quiet forest tracks for families, see cycling in Harrachov.
Winter with children: the slope outside the door
In winter the hotel’s location is unbeatable: the nursery slope and the lifts start right at the building. Children learn their first turns in ski school while you ride the longer run from Čertova hora – and everyone meets at the hotel for lunch. More under skiing in Harrachov.
Who the family holiday suits
Families with small children who need short distances and a pool. Families with school-age children learning to ski or exploring in summer. And grandparents with grandchildren who appreciate a quiet hotel with meals in the building. Easter, the summer holidays and the winter half-term are the most popular dates – outside them it is quieter and often cheaper.
