## About Świeradów-Zdrój

Świeradów-Zdrój is a spa town in the Jizera Mountains, close to the Czech border, and its skiing is essentially one mountain and one run. An eight-seat gondola, opened in 2008, climbs in about seven minutes to the shoulder of Stóg Izerski, and a single 2.5 km piste with more than 400 m of vertical comes back down: steep at the top, flatter in the middle and testing again near the bottom.

The run is floodlit every evening, and the base has a beginner lift, a small snowpark and a toboggan run. A second, black run has been marked for years but stays closed to protect the black grouse that live on the mountain. The Jizera Mountains are also well known for cross-country skiing.

## Where lessons start

Beginners use the short lift by the lower gondola station. The main run is mostly intermediate and steep at the top, so it is a goal for later in the week rather than a first day.

## Getting there

Wrocław is about two and a quarter hours by road and Jelenia Góra about 45 minutes. Since 2023 trains run again to Świeradów-Zdrój from Gryfów Śląski, with connections towards Jelenia Góra and Wrocław.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is Świeradów-Zdrój a good place to learn to ski?

For a first day, only just. There is a short beginner lift by the lower gondola station, but the main attraction is a single 2.5 km run that is steep at the top. It suits a skier who can already manage a red, and the evening floodlights make it a good place to put in the mileage.
