Klínovec Ski Resort 2026/27: Lift Pass Prices and Getting There
Popular
Klínovec (Keilberg in German) is the biggest ski resort in the Ore Mountains (Krušné hory): 31.5 km of pistes, or 47 km together with Fichtelberg in Germany on a multi-day pass. Prices for 2026/27 are already online: a day pass is CZK 1,250 for adults, CZK 750 for children born 2012–2020 and CZK 1,130 for seniors. The operator gives 120 km from Prague, and the bus takes two to three hours. The start of the winter season has not been announced. Around Prague checked prices, lifts and transport on 9 November 2026 on the official sites of Klínovec, Boží Dar (Gottesgab) and Fichtelberg and in the IDOS timetable.
When does the season start? Status on 9 November 2026
klinovec.cz says the 2026 summer season has ended. Neither Klínovec nor Fichtelberg has published a winter opening date. Ski portals quote late November, but that is not the operator's word. Check the live lift and piste status page, "Stav sjezdovek a lanovek". The 2026/27 ski bus timetable is not out either; the site still shows 2025/26.
Lifts and pistes
The operator lists 5 cable cars or chairlifts, 8 drag lifts and 5 children's carpets. There are two main entrances: Jáchymov (St Joachimsthal) in the south and Loučná pod Klínovcem in the north, plus the Neklid side near Boží Dar. The Mapy.com Express (A) cable car from Jáchymov is 2,168 m long and carries 2,400 people an hour.
- Jáchymovská: 2,950 m, 490 m drop, medium.
- Lázeňská: 3,400 m, 490 m drop, easy.
- U Zabitého: 850 m, difficult; two freeride runs (800 and 1,700 m, difficult).
The piste table has 28 numbered runs and connecting trails, most with snowmaking.
Lift pass prices 2026/27
The price list is headed "Zima 2026/2027". Prices are in Czech crowns; there are no euro prices on it.
| Ticket | Adult (born 1965–2011) | Child (2012–2020) | Senior (1900–1964) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day pass | CZK 1,250 | CZK 750 | CZK 1,130 |
| 14:00–16:00 | CZK 500 | CZK 300 | CZK 450 |
| Evening 18–21 | CZK 690 | CZK 410 | CZK 620 |
| Evening 19–21 | CZK 560 | CZK 340 | CZK 500 |
| Season pass (Klínovec) | CZK 17,500 | CZK 10,500 | CZK 15,750 |
Multi-day passes work across the Fichtelberg–Klínovec Interskiregion, so also on the German side:
| Length | Adult (1900–2011) | Child (2012–2020) |
|---|---|---|
| 1.5 days | CZK 2,140 | CZK 1,280 |
| 2 days | CZK 2,440 | CZK 1,460 |
| 3 days | CZK 3,560 | CZK 2,140 |
| 4 days | CZK 4,630 | CZK 2,780 |
| 5 days | CZK 5,630 | CZK 3,380 |
| 7 days | CZK 7,440 | CZK 4,460 |
- Children born 2021 or later ride free without a ticket. Children and seniors must prove their age with a document.
- Tickets are loaded on a chip card with a CZK 50 deposit and are not transferable.
- The day pass is cheaper online ("výhodně online"). The site does not show the online price; it is in the shop.
- The 1.5-day pass is valid all day on the day of purchase and until 13:00 the next day. Multi-day and season passes are not valid for night skiing.
- Day passes are valid only in Skiareál Klínovec, not at Fichtelberg.
Our calculation: two adults and two children (2012–2020) pay at the ticket office for one day 2 × 1,250 + 2 × 750 = CZK 4,000, plus 4 × CZK 50 deposit. Two days on single tickets cost CZK 2,500 per adult against CZK 2,440 for the 2-day pass; for three days it is 3,750 against 3,560.
Night skiing
In the evening the blue run Dámská is open (about 1.5 km, 230 m drop), groomed before the session. It is served by a four-seat chairlift with covers and heated seats. The operator has not yet published on which days it runs: the schedule was empty on 9 November. Day passes are not valid in the evening.
Ski rental and ski school
The ski school and rental are at Jáchymov 1065, a few metres from the lower station of Mapy.com Express ([email protected], +420 415 242 242). The rental list carries no season label and the operator reserves the right to change prices. An Economy set (skis or snowboard, boots, poles) is CZK 400 for half a day and CZK 490 for a day; Premium CZK 650 a day; children under 140 cm CZK 390; a helmet CZK 150 a day. Book lessons online at least 48 hours ahead. Children from 3 learn in the "Hugo" children's park, free for children under 6 and for holders of a valid pass. We give no ski school prices: on 9 November the list still carried a spring discount.
Boží Dar (Gottesgab): family slopes and cross-country
Boží Dar calls itself the highest town in Central Europe and lies about 4 km from Klínovec and Oberwiesenthal. The Za Prahou and Hranice lifts are part of the Klínovec pass. The separate Novako family area has two easy slopes (300 and 200 m), a ski school from age 2 and snow tubing. Its 2026/27 price list gives CZK 400 for adults and CZK 350 for children under 12 for a day (9:00–16:30). For the evening (19:00–20:30) the same page shows both CZK 300 and CZK 250, so confirm on site.
For cross-country skiing Boží Dar quotes over 120 km of trails in the area. The Czech side lists about 97 km: the Karlův běh loop (20 km), Boží Dar–Pernink (15 km), Boží Dar–Plešivec (11 km), Boží Dar–Klínovec (5 km) and a link to Fichtelberg (2 km to the border). The German side has about 75 km. An online map from the municipality shows which trails are groomed, with webcams.
Fichtelberg and the Interskiregion pass
Fichtelberg (1,215 m) at Oberwiesenthal has 15.5 km of pistes: 31.5 + 15.5 gives the 47 km. A multi-day pass of 1.5 days or more works on both sides; day passes do not. Ski bus line A Klínovec–Fichtelberg was free in 2025/26 and ran hourly; the ride takes 15 minutes (Klínovec) or 30 minutes (Fichtelberg), the sources differ. Fichtelberg has three price periods: until 18 December 2026, 19 December 2026 to 28 February 2027, and from 1 March 2027; the numbers are on othal.de.
