Ski area Ještěd
The Ještěd ski area lies right at the edge of Liberec, where a diverse selection awaits winter sports fans along about 9 km of piste. Four free parking lots can be found at the various lifts. A tram takes visitors from the parking lot right to the Skalka chair lift, which leads up to the Černý vrch. Another parking lot can be found right at the modern gondola, which leads up to the highest point on the Ještěd at around 1,000 m altitude. At the peak, a mountain restaurant and mountain hotel stand tall as one of the symbols of Liberec. The top of the modern tower reaches high into the sky and doubles as a TV tower.
In the areas that can be reached with the gondola and the chair lifts, relatively demanding red pistes and one black piste can be found, and only red pistes run back down into the valley to the parking lots! When taking the Skalka chair lift, you can make your way to a somewhat flatter area with several wide, blue pistes. It's here where you can also find the snow park with its challenging set up.
The infrastructure of the ski area is modern and, with 11 runs, an almost perfect capacity for artificial snow, ski schools, equipment hire, diverse huts and snack shacks, a toboggan run, and an illuminated night skiing run, no wish goes unfulfilled.

Night skiing Liberec
The familiy-friendly area Ještěd is also a popular night skiing area. The manageable piste is accessible via the Pod lany F-10 drag lift and can be found on the outskirts of Liberec. The red piste No 1 "F-10" has a length of approx. 400 m, is prepared on a daily basis, and can be used by young and old, even in floodlight. The extended operation hours during night skiing are from 18:00 to 21:00, and extend the skiing day into the night. As the night skiing piste is right next to the lift offices nearby the valley station, a cosy stop is possible at any time during and after the night-time skiing pleasure.Après ski Liberec
Liberec is well-prepared for entertainment when coming back from Ještěd Mountain. Classic après ski in the ski area itself is limited to a drink or two in one of the huts or snack shacks, but the party really starts back in the city. Countless restaurants and cosy pubs fill the evenings with variety while filling stomachs with good Czech cuisine. Those looking for fun and action in a special atmosphere should definitely visit the Babylon Centre. This shopping and entertainment centre lies in the middle of the city and has practically everything that active holidaymakers desire. In the spa centre there, the most divers massages and relaxation therapies are offered, and in the water park, spend some time in the pools or the sauna area. In the IQLandia is a modern science centre, and the "Lunapark", you'll find a type of old Bohemian fair that offers carousel fun and indoor adventure golf for all ages. Furthermore, you'll also find bowling, a 4D theatre, a laser game, a golf simulator, restaurants, cafés, bars, and much more. In Liberec, there's no way to suffer from boredom!
