VALENTINE'S DAY IN THE MOUNTAINS

Love, snow, and warm moments high above the valley.

When Valentine's Day comes to mind, many couples first think of classic romance — red roses, candles, ribbons, and an evening with a glass of wine. But imagine moving this day a few hundred meters higher into the mountains: the silence of snow-covered spruce trees, the crunch of snow underfoot, the view stretching over the white roofs of cottages and the setting sun in the valley.

Valentine's Day in the mountains has a completely different atmosphere — wild, intimate, and yet infinitely magical.

Romance in nature has power

You disconnect: The mountains provide a natural "off" mode from the hustle and bustle of the city and work emails. No notifications, just the breath of icy air and time together.

Intimacy and tranquility: In the heart of the mountains, there are fewer people, less hustle and bustle, and many more opportunities to create private moments — walks hand in hand, shared thermoses of hot chocolate, and quiet conversations.

Nature as decoration: Snow, trees, stars, and mountain peaks create a backdrop that needs no decoration — the natural scenery itself emphasizes the romance.

Romantic activities in the mountains — from active experiences to lazing around

A walk through a snowy forest: Simple but magical. All you need are warm boots, gloves, and to walk away from the groomed trails. Sometimes all you need to do is find a large gap between the trees, sit down on a blanket, share a thermos of hot drink, and watch the snowflakes fall.

Skiing: For couples who love adrenaline — spend the day on the slopes and then relax in the evening in a mountain cabin by the fireplace, in the wellness center, or at the après-ski bar with a live DJ party. Sharing a day full of fun and physical activity can strengthen your bond.

Visit the unique ice rink in the center of Špindlerův Mlýn.

Sledding, bobsledding, building a snowman: Returning to childhood fun is often tender and relaxing. Don't miss the moment when, after a wild ride, you sit down on a steep slope and laugh at each other.

Romantic dinner: Reserve a table at a cozy restaurant with a beautiful view. For example: a Valentine's Day tasting menu with live music in a mountain restaurant overlooking Špindlerův Mlýn at night, or try Michal Húska's tasting menu for lovers with wine pairing from VinoVinoVino.

Bath in a private wellness center or hot tub: There's nothing like the feeling of soaking in hot water while snow falls around you.

Stargazing: In the mountains, far from the city lights, the sky is breathtaking. Grab a blanket, a thermos, and maybe even a small flashlight — stargazing hand in hand can be an unforgettable experience.

Candlelight evening by the stone fireplace: Some cabins offer a classic, opulent atmosphere — a fireplace, crackling wood, dimmed lights. These are moments when free conversation turns into quiet sharing.

Valentine's Day in the mountains isn't just about aesthetics and pretty photos. It's an opportunity to return to the essence of a relationship: being together without unnecessary distractions, sharing experiences, laughing, talking, and being silent—while feeling something old and new touching you at the same time.

The mountains provide an environment where romance can easily blossom: clean air, breathtaking views, and the intimacy that only nature can offer.

If you're planning a slightly different Valentine's Day this year, take your loved one to Špindlerův Mlýn.
