A crisp passenger van pulls away from a Prague hotel at dawn, lights of the city shrinking as elevation and silence grow. By midmorning the Giant Mountains (Krkonoše) rise like a gray ridge, the slopes of Špindlerův Mlýn unrolling in bands of packed snow and clipped pine. The guide steps out, opens the door to an alpine air that bites and clears the head; the day becomes measured in lift rides, carved turns and the low thrum of chairlift machinery.
