| Winter in Beskydy |
||||
|
A Moravian winter wonderland!
Winter is secretly our favourite time in Vallasske!
Step out of the cottage, put on your cross country skis and spend a great day in the guaranteed snow of the hills just outside the door, with trails leading right up into the Beskydy moutains and the summit Radhost.
At nearby Pustevny (and other locations) there are downhill slopes with chair and rope lifts.
And you will have a warm house to come home to! |

 We love winter! |

 Winter wonderland |
 Will you hurry up? |
 Also near the summit is the statue of Radegast - logal pagan god of beer, fertility and most cool things.... |
 Extensive cross country skiing in the region |
