It is the second highest
mountain range in the Czech Republic. The
continuous forest cover alternates with places covered by low vegetation.
This fact gives rather harsh character to the whole region. The higher
elevation and the relief of the country creates many opportunities for
alpine skiing and at the same time nearly ideal conditions for cross -
country and ski tours. Localization in the north of Moravia and
corresponding communication possibilities are the reason why this area is
visited mainly by home people and still waiting for its discovery by
foreign visitors.
On the vast territory between
several mountain ridges there is situated a number of centers. These wide
spread territories are typical for good natural conditions supplemented by
sporting and technical facilities and necessary catering and
accommodation.
There is Stare Mesto in the
west, the starting point for trips to the nearby surroundings, Petrikov -
Ramzova with downhill skiing center and entrance for frequent trips along
the mountain range on the northwest. Busy area is Cervenohorske sedlo,
whose advantages are sporting terrains and facilities for downhill skiing.
In the highest part of Jeseniky, there is Petrovy Kameny - Ovcarna -
Praded centre offering several good downhill courses and following area of
Mala Moravka - Karlov. For the lovers of winter tourism the ridge main
line of Hruby Jesenik, with everything that makes such trips so
attractive, is ideal.
