Colours show the published skiing status or confirmed operating calendar, not whether every lift is running. Check the operator before travel.
Confirmed dates change colours automatically in the place’s local time. Tentative dates, conflicting reports and expired checks remain black.
Independent ODbL community geometry covers local Pec downhill corridors at Javor, Hnědý vrch, Zahrádky, Smrk, Klondike, U lesa, Mulda and Eso, plus the separate Javořák and Slovan scopes. Private, abandoned, disused, unidentified and neighbouring chalet installations, the obsolete Kladenka scope and the regional SkiTour route are omitted. Shaded footprints are areas, not descents along their edges. Community segments, names and old lift references are not a reconciled operator inventory; generic difficulty remains grey. The snapshot uses the original canonical OSM API HTTP response Date, not an Overpass replication timestamp. Unconfirmed: the operator-linked regional map service is accessible, but its artwork edition, exact local comparison and preview or reproduction rights are not established; operator artwork is omitted. Geometry never establishes current skiing, grooming, access permission, avalanche safety, navigation or a complete return.
Access: The operator locates the main school and rental below Javor. Javořák is a distinct named lift; its former local fare and base ticket desk are discontinued.
Use the designated learner park for instruction. Funpark and Funline features require their own actual opening and ability checks.
02
Hnědý vrch / Zahrádky
Access: The operator lists separate Hnědý vrch and Zahrádky Express chairlifts and the Zahrádky 2 surface lift.
Check every connecting piste and onward lift before leaving your base. A regional pass does not guarantee a continuous ski connection.
03
Klondike / U lesa / Mulda / Eso / Slovan
Access: Upper teaching and surface-lift areas have different access needs; Klondike lessons should be booked for that specific meeting point.
U lesa and Javor advertise separate evening programmes. Unconfirmed: final dated 2026/27 night sessions and their complete returns are not established.
01
Start: choose the actual Pec base
The main school, rental and learner carpets are below Javor. Klondike is a different teaching area near the top of Zahrádky Express; confirm the correct meeting point before travelling.
02
Connect: separate local skiing from regional transfers
Hnědý vrch, Zahrádky and the surface-lift corridors have distinct connections. Buses link the wider resort; SkiTour combines skiing and snowcats from Černá hora towards Pec. Its availability does not establish a return ski circuit.
03
Return: agree every final connection
Unconfirmed: exact last boarding, downloading entitlement and the complete return to your starting base or accommodation are not established. Check the required lifts, open descents, bus and rental-return deadline with staff.
Plan the starting base and the complete return before skiing across Pec. The wider Černá hora–Pec ski pass, road buses and SkiTour transfer are separate from this local community map.

Local independent map, with regional pass and bus links kept separate
Choose local slopes and a suitable teaching base
The operator describes skiing on both sides of Pec’s valley and roughly 14 km of local slopes; its report uses a 14.2 km scope. The whole Černá hora–Pec pass covers other distinct areas. Those regional figures, bus links and the Černá hora SkiTour transfer are not the inventory or connected geometry of this local map.
Javor has the principal learner park with two carpets, including a covered one. Klondike is a separate upper teaching area near Zahrádky Express. Hnědý vrch, Zahrádky, Smrk and the local surface-lift corridors provide different terrain; Funline and park features require a suitable ability level and actual opening. Follow local signed grades, rather than interpreting a community difficulty tag as a universal colour.
Unconfirmed: the complete currently open Pec piste set and every inter-sector connection are not established. The current information page says Hnědý vrch remains closed until the ski season; the weekend headline refers to other activity. The independent map omits private, obsolete, unidentified and neighbouring installations and is not a navigation or opening report.
Historical: Fried Marek photographed the Javor slope on 22 August 2015, without snow. This summer view is local landscape context and does not establish current lifts, snow, access or skiing. Original JPEG retained; responsive CSS display crops only.
Separate winter hours, evening sessions and the complete return
The operator lists Javor 1 and 2, Hnědý vrch, Zahrádky Express, Smrk and Javořák at 08:30–16:00, with other ski lifts at 09:00–16:00. The table is undated. It does not establish the first day of winter 2026/27, current ski operation or the exact last skier boarding at each installation.
Javor advertises 18:00–21:00 on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, while U lesa lists Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Unconfirmed: the dated 2026/27 evening programme and complete night return are not established. On the source-check day, the named night sessions were marked closed; a general weekly schedule is not an opening confirmation.
Unconfirmed: exact first and final skiing dates, last boarding, downloading entitlement and all links needed to return to your starting base are not established. Ask staff before crossing a sector and leave time for rental return and onward transport. The 30 April season-pass expiry and the alpine coaster’s weekend 09:00–16:00 window are separate products.
Choose the actual Javor, Hnědý vrch or Zahrádky meeting point first. The parking page distinguishes the Pec terminal P1, Kaplička P3 and Zelený potok P4. It lists one hour free and CZK 300 for a calendar day, with new charges after exit and re-entry; P1 reservations and guest-card benefits have separate conditions.
The bus page distinguishes central lines connecting Janské Lázně, Pec and Velká Úpa from Pec CITY buses serving hotels, car parks and Javor. Pec CITY buses are described as free. All inspected winter lines and the skiing/snowcat SkiTour transfer were marked out of service; their retained timetable links do not establish a final 2026/27 departure.
Unconfirmed: final dated winter bus departures, road conditions, parking availability, the precise equipment-carrying walk and continuous step-free access are not established. Check your exact journey, car-park restrictions and assistance needs before travel. A shared ski pass does not replace a return transport plan.
Keep Pec, regional passes and learner products distinct
The operator’s winter 2026/27 season pass covers the wider six-area resort, including listed night skiing, and states validity through 30 April 2027. That is ticket validity, not a guarantee that Pec or every installation operates on each day. The published adult season price is CZK 14,490 online or CZK 15,490 at the ticket desk; the pass is personal and photo-checked.
The separate Flexiskipas offer lists one chosen day during winter 2026/27 at CZK 1,250 for adults, CZK 990 for junior/senior and CZK 790 for children, sold online until 18 December 2026. Standard dated one-day pricing is dynamic. The small-lift table lists a two-hour Javor LIVE park product at CZK 400 and says Javořák’s former local fare and base desk are discontinued.
The published age bands differ by product: the season-pass page defines children as birth years 2015–2020 and small children as 2021 or later, while the small-lift and Flexiskipas pages use broader 2015-and-later child wording. Confirm the selected product and proof of age; do not assume one age band or the 1+1 offer applies to every ticket. Unconfirmed: your exact dated checkout price, cancellation/refund conditions and individual download entitlement are not established here.
Historical: the linked passenger terms are effective from 1 November 2025. They describe personal passes, photo checks and the chip-card arrangements, but do not supply a new 2026/27 operating calendar. Read the conditions for the actual product before payment; the booking portal returned restricted access at this check and was not retried.
Respect KRNAP restrictions and winch-grooming closures
The safety page prohibits leaving designated skiing areas and requires compliance with the Giant Mountains National Park rules. It warns that tracked vehicles cross pistes and that cable-winch grooming can cause fatal injury. Never enter a closed piste or treat an OSM line, hotel location or a rental touring set as access permission.
The operator prohibits piste entry after 16:30 for maintenance, apart from a specifically named different-area exception. Its separately advertised Javor and U lesa night skiing does not open every piste: use only an explicitly announced, staffed evening session and obey the signs and current staff instructions. Snowmaking and preparation can also occur during operation.
Unconfirmed: current snow and avalanche conditions, patrol availability, every open route and individual adaptive boarding or assistance are not established. Agree equipment suitability, lift use and the full return with staff. Use the current local rescue information and mountain forecast; this guide and its map are planning references.
Match school, rental and assistance to the right location
The operator places the Pec school office and rental below Javor. Its school page offers private and group tuition in several disciplines; lesson duration is listed as 55 minutes, with most programmes during 09:00–16:00. Klondike is a distinct park requiring advance booking for that location. Confirm the lesson, ability group, language, meeting point and included park access.
The rental page requests an identity card or passport and distinguishes the Javor shop from network locations at Janské Lázně and Velká Úpa. Arrange fitting, stock, collection and equipment return with the selected shop. The service page’s machine-workshop description names those other towns; do not assume every workshop service is performed at the Pec base.
The operator contact page lists +420 734 153 153 for 08:00–16:00 and skiresortcard@skiresort.cz for support. Unconfirmed: current school and rental opening, exact return deadline, personal assistance and continuous step-free access are not established. General network hours and a contact listing do not guarantee an appointment or staffed service.
Selected source-checked references only. Use the complete official plan for the network; this list is not the resort’s total piste count or live opening report.
04 / AT THE BASE
Facilities that change the day.
The operator places a school, equipment rental and learner carpets at Javor, with a separate Klondike teaching park near the top of Zahrádky Express. Pec CITY buses and regional ski buses are listed separately; all inspected winter services were marked out of service at this check. Use designated car parks and check the tariff, re-entry rules and equipment-carrying route to your actual base.
