Why Harrachov for schools and clubs?

  • Everything on foot: slope, cross-country tracks, hiking trails, sports grounds and the centre are within walking distance – no transfers, no coach logistics on site.
  • Meals in the building: breakfast and dinner included, lunch or packed lunches by arrangement.
  • Multi-bed rooms: triple and quadruple rooms with en-suite bathrooms.
  • A programme in any weather: pool in the building, games room with billiards and table tennis, glassworks and ski jumps in town.
  • Easy access: right on the Czech–Polish border, without a long coach journey.

Ski camps: the slope starts at the hotel

For ski camps the hotel’s location is the decisive advantage: the nursery slope and the lifts of the Harrachov ski resort begin right at the building. The group walks to the lift after breakfast, comes back to warm up at midday and is back on the slope in the afternoon. Ski schools and rental are in town; cross-country groups have tracks outside town and Jakuszyce across the border. More under skiing in Harrachov.

Training camps: mountains, sports grounds, recovery

Sports clubs use Harrachov for running and cycling training in the mountains, cross-country skiing or team days. The town has sports grounds and halls by arrangement, and the forest tracks around Harrachov suit runners and cyclists. After training, the heated pool and the sauna are waiting for recovery – and dinner in the building.

School trips in summer: a programme for every group

A hike to the Mumlava Waterfalls, the chairlift up Čertova hora, the summer toboggan run, a tour of the Harrachov Glassworks, a visit to the ski jumping hills, bike rides and orienteering in the forest. Evening programme in the common room or the games room. An overview is under things to do in Harrachov.
