When you take kids skiing for the first or second time, you need a slope where they can learn to ski in peace.
Modrá hvězda and Sachrovka are exactly that – two family resorts right in Horní Rokytnice, about 500 metres from Apartmány Ilona.
Modrá hvězda has a wide main slope 810 metres long and a shorter side run for the youngest. The resort has a ski school, rental shop and a magic carpet for children.
Sachrovka is a separate resort with a gentle profile, a 700-metre slope and a T-bar lift. The resort has a ski school, and the rental shop is at Horní náměstí square (150 m away).
Both resorts have snow-making facilities, so they operate reliably throughout the season. Parking directly at the resorts is free. From the apartment, you can walk with skis on your shoulders or drive – you're on the slope in a few minutes.
A few runs in the morning, pop home around lunchtime, let the youngest have a nap, and then a second round in the afternoon. This is what relaxed skiing with small children looks like – no rushing around the mountains and no stress.
When the kids have fallen asleep and you fancy a few more runs, you don't need to go far. Sachrovka offers evening skiing on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 17:30 to 20:30. The resort is about 500 metres from Apartmány Ilona – you can walk there in a few minutes.
The floodlit slope has a completely different atmosphere in the evening than during the day. It's usually quieter, fewer people, and after a full day outside with the kids, you can enjoy the runs in peace just for yourself. Grab a mulled wine or tea at the snack bar and then a few more turns.
Evening skiing is also available at other resorts in Rokytnice, but Sachrovka is the closest from the apartments. Operations depend on snow conditions, so check current information on the resort's website a day in advance or ask us directly. We'll be happy to advise you where it's running in the evening and how best to get there.
When the kids can brake safely and want something more challenging, it's time for Skiareál Nahoru – Rokytnice's main ski resort. It's 600 metres from Apartmány Ilona, and in season you can ski directly to us via a ski route.
The resort offers two four-seater chairlifts and six T-bar lifts. There are slopes of all difficulties: blue for comfortable descents, red for more confident skiers, and two black for the experienced. The Lysá hora cable car goes up to 1,315 metres above sea level – from there you have a magnificent view and can connect to the Krkonoše cross-country trail.
The resort has ski rental shops, ski services, ski schools and several restaurants and snack bars. For children, there's the RokyBaby kids' park with a magic carpet and gentle Kaprun I and II slopes. The resort is equipped with snow-making, so it operates from December to March even in years when Krakonoš is stingy with snow.
A free skibus runs throughout Rokytnice during the season. The stop is 100 metres from Apartmány Ilona.
The skibus runs daily from 8:00 to 17:00 on days when the ski resort operates. Services run mostly at half-hour intervals. Transport is free. You'll have the skibus timetable ready in your apartment.
The biggest advantage of skiing from the apartments is having your own kitchen and space. In the morning, you can prepare breakfast at your leisure according to what the kids want – not according to a hotel buffet line. Around lunchtime, you can pop home for a hot meal, let the youngest have a nap and then head out again.
You can dry your ski boots and wet clothes in our drying room, not in a corridor among fifty other skiers. At Apartmány Ilona, you have free parking by the house.
In season, you can see the slopes directly from the window. On the garden, younger kids can try out skis or sledges before you head to the big slope – the snow-covered garden is an ideal training ground without crowds.
We have three apartments: A and B on the ground floor for 2–5 and 2–7 people, C on the first floor and attic for 2–10 people, ideal for two families. Each apartment has its own kitchen and bathroom.
When you're going with kids for a week to the Krkonoše Mountains, it's worth thinking through what to bring and what to rent on site before you leave. Skis, boots and poles for beginners or for children who are growing quickly can easily be rented. You'll find rental shops directly at the Modrá hvězda and Nahoru resorts – they'll also rent you helmets and poles and adjust the bindings.
Bring your own clothing – jacket, trousers, gloves, hat, thermal underwear and socks. You need more than one set because kids roll around in the snow and it all needs drying in the evening. Spare pairs of gloves and socks always come in handy.
Sunglasses and sunscreen too – the sun burns more in the mountains than you'd expect. Ski services and rental shops operate directly at the resorts during the season. We'll be happy to advise you where to go and who we know in Rokytnice. And when you return from the slopes, you have your own kitchen for tea, hot chocolate and dinners without waiting.
Skiing with kids from the apartments means peace, your own pace and no stress. You have family slopes within reach, evening skiing a few minutes' walk away, and the main ski resort accessible by skibus or on foot. Free parking by the house, your own kitchen, garden and space for the whole family.
At Apartmány Ilona in Horní Rokytnice, you have everything within reach – and after skiing you return home to warmth, not to a hotel room. If you're planning a winter holiday with kids, we'll be happy to advise you which slope is currently in the best condition and how to plan your day so everyone enjoys it.
Contact us and we'll arrange a date that suits you. The ski season in Rokytnice runs from December to March and we look forward to seeing you.
