Frequently asked questions about Spicak

Where is Spicak?

Spicak is in Bohemian Forest (Šumava), republica-checa, with the base at 846 m and the top at 1202 m.

When does Spicak open?

Spicak has not announced its opening date for the 2026/27 season yet. Our own estimate, based on the resort's altitude and its past seasons, puts it around December 20, 2026: that is a forecast, not an announcement. The resort confirms the date each autumn and we keep it up to date at https://www.caranva.app/en/esqui/fechas-apertura/spicak.

When does Spicak close?

Spicak is expected to close for the 2026/27 season on March 15, 2027. The real date depends on how the snow holds up at the top (1202 m) late in the season, and the resort usually announces it only a few weeks ahead: the up-to-date version is at https://www.caranva.app/en/esqui/fechas-apertura/spicak.

How much snow is there in Spicak and are the lifts open?

It changes daily and the resort itself publishes it every morning: snow depth by altitude, open runs and open lifts. The Spicak daily report and forecast are at https://www.caranva.app/en/nieve/republica-checa/spicak. When it blows hard, the most exposed lifts are usually the upper ones (1202 m), so it is worth checking before driving up.

At what altitude do you ski in Spicak?

Between 846 and 1202 metres, a vertical drop of 356 m. That difference is why the snow is not the same across the whole resort on the same day: the upper slopes hold up better late in the season, while the lower part, at 846 m, is the first to feel rain or warm weather. That is why the Spicak report is read by altitude band, at https://www.caranva.app/en/nieve/republica-checa/spicak.

How many kilometres of pistes does Spicak have?

Spicak has 10 km of pistes and 6 lifts, between 846 and 1202 m of altitude.

Where can I rent skis in Spicak?

On Caranva you book the full kit for Spicak — skis, boots and poles, or a snowboard if you prefer — at https://www.caranva.app/en/shop/esqui/spicak: you pick the dates and give your height, weight, shoe size and level, and the gear is waiting assembled with the bindings set to those figures. You pay online, you skip the sizing counter, and you can swap the gear in the shop if something does not fit. The alternative is walking into a shop at the resort on a first-come basis, which over a bank holiday or at Christmas means queuing for whatever is left.
