A winter holiday in the mountains is one of the most beautiful times of the year – fresh snow, the smell of a barbecue, the silence of winter nature and time with family, which has a completely different quality than at home. To make your holiday in the Czech Republic or abroad stress-free, all you need to do is pack well.
We have prepared a simple but complete winter vacation checklist for you, which will be appreciated by families with children, couples and those who are going for the first time. You can use it during your stay in Špindlerův Mlýn, Pálava or anywhere you go in the winter.
Main checklist - what to pack for a winter mountain vacation
Clothing: layers to keep you warm
The foundation of winter comfort? Warm, high-quality, and properly layered layers. The weather in the mountains changes quickly, so it's important to think practically.
Don't forget to pack:
Thermal underwear (ideally 2–3 sets)
Functional T-shirt / sweatshirt (fleece)
Quality winter jacket and pants
Warm socks (merino is fine too)
Hat, neck warmer, scarf
Gloves (preferably waterproof)
Tip: If you are going on a family vacation, it is a good idea to pack a spare set of clothes for a quick change after returning from outside.
Sports equipment: skis, snowboard and safety
Whether you're heading to Špindlerův Mlýn or another resort, well-packed equipment will save you money and time.
Check:
Skis and poles or snowboard
Helmet (especially for children!)
Ski goggles
Ski gloves
Skis or snowboard boots
Spine (especially for children!)
If you don't have the equipment or don't want to take everything with you, you can find reliable rental companies in Špindel and other mountain areas.
What to pack for kids: little things that will save the big day
If you are going on vacation in the Czech Republic with children , you will appreciate this list.
Add to your suitcase:
Spare gloves (3 pairs – we believe you will use them all 😄)
Lip balm
Anti-freeze cream
Warm hats (min. 2)
Tea thermos
Pocket snacks (cookies, bars)
Children get wet and cold quickly. Thanks to the replacements, you are always on "standby".
Practical things that will really come in handy for your winter vacation
These are little things, but they often decide whether you really enjoy your vacation.
Be sure to pack:
A small first aid kit (plasters, ibalgin, disinfectant)
Powerbank
Thermos mug
Sunglasses (they burn even in winter!)
Cream with UV factor
Good walking shoes
If you are planning trips, don't forget a map or offline navigation.
