Freestyle riders can access two park rails and a small terrain park near the Formanky lift. The park is designed for progression, with features suitable for beginners and intermediate riders. Tubing lanes add variety and are popular in the afternoon when the snow softens.
Natural features include forested slopes, panoramic ridgelines and views over the spa town. The resort&rsquo;s compact layout allows for easy navigation, and the combination of alpine skiing and wellness facilities makes it a unique destination in the Krkono&scaron;e region.

Visit Čern&aacute; hora &ndash; Jansk&eacute; L&aacute;zně in mid-January for the best snow conditions and minimal queues. The slopes are quieter midweek, and the snowpack is typically firm and well-groomed. Early morning laps on Protěž offer smooth carving and excellent light across the valley.
The Anděl run is a favourite among locals for its consistent gradient and scenic descent. Ski it before 11:00 for the best surface and avoid the midday crowd. The upper section links well with Hoffmanky, allowing for varied routes back to the base.
Families should explore the tubing lanes near Formanky, which are open to all ages and offer lift access back to the top. The Snow Park nearby includes mini jumps and play zones, making it a great spot for children to enjoy the snow beyond skiing.
For a relaxed lunch, head to the restaurant at the summit station of the gondola. It serves Czech specialities like sv&iacute;čkov&aacute; and blueberry dumplings, with panoramic views from the sun terrace. Arrive early to secure a window seat and enjoy the quiet.
Advanced skiers should try the Pod Kabinou run after fresh snowfall. It&rsquo;s one of the longest and steepest descents in the resort, with reliable snow and minimal traffic. The run is best tackled mid-morning when visibility improves and the snow settles.
Apr&egrave;s-ski is low-key but rewarding. Try the bar near the Hoffmanky lift, which serves mulled wine and local beers with outdoor heaters and live music on weekends. It&rsquo;s a popular spot for instructors and seasoned skiers winding down.
For scenic views, take the gondola to the summit and walk to the Panorama Tower. This 25.7 m structure offers 360&deg; views over the Krkono&scaron;e Mountains and is especially stunning at sunset. It&rsquo;s accessible even for non-skiers and worth the short detour.
Night skiing is available on the Protěž piste, which is floodlit and groomed for evening sessions. The slope holds its condition well into the night, and the atmosphere is calm and focused. It&rsquo;s a great way to extend your ski day without crowds.
Non-skiers can enjoy the spa facilities in Jansk&eacute; L&aacute;zně, including thermal baths and wellness treatments. Book a late afternoon session to relax after skiing and enjoy the contrast between alpine activity and indoor serenity.
End your ski day on the Hoffmanky run, a mellow descent with wide turns and soft snow in the late afternoon. Locals often time their final laps here to catch the last light and avoid queues at the gondola. It&rsquo;s a peaceful way to wrap up the day.
