The chairlifts from Pec

No other place in the Giant Mountains is such a perfect starting point for discovering the main ridges - including the fantastic Sněžka Mountain at 1,603 metres.
If you don’t feel like hiking, you can take several chairlifts. The main cable car to Sněžka was newly constructed in 2014 - with an elevation gain of 760 metres.

Chairlift to Portášky

Sněžka: regional symbol
It is located on the Czech-Polish border - from the summit towards the Czech side you can see more Giant Mountain ridges, while looking towards Poland you can see Karpacz and the city of Jelenia Góra with 90,000 inhabitants.
