The ski resort of Lipno in the Czech Republic offers everything the snow lover’s heart could possibly desire: perfectly groomed pistes and cross-country trails, a snowboard park, a local ski school and a wide range of shops. To round off this comprehensive package, an international cooperation was started between the company Meingast, its Czech partner Milan Jurdik (Sitour), and the Tyrol-based SunKid to design a new children’s ski area. Today, the management team at Lipno is proud to present to you the area’s newest attraction: the FOXpark children’s ski area!

During the summer months, the management team at Lipno worked together with SunKid to develop a brand new concept for younger guests visiting the region. However, the new children’s ski area certainly is not just about learning how to ski – it is first and foremost a place for safe fun in the snow! This fun is guaranteed by two SunKid Wonder Carpet conveyors, a SunKid Star tow lift, a Rotondo ski and tubing carousel, a snow tubing facility, as well as a whole range of SunKid figures and ski teaching aids. Are you ready for fun?

The two Wonder Carpets measuring 27 m and 39 m respectively are installed in the centre of the FOXpark area. One of the main advantages of this is that separate ski lessons can be held on both sides of the Wonder Carpet, meaning that skiers and snowboarders can be divided into individual groups to make their first turns in the snow. For the more advanced winter sports enthusiasts there is the 80 m SunKid Star tow lift. This range of lifts and conveyors allows the ski school to adapt lessons to suit the different levels ability within each group.

One of the other newest attractions in Lipno is the SunKid ski and tubing carousel. The carousel has a double function: not only does it help beginners learn how to make their first turns on skis, it can also tow both adults and children around on snow tubes! Those guests who just can’t get enough of snowtubing should try out the perfectly groomed SunKid snowtubing facility in the FOXpark.

To ensure that younger visitors to the FOXpark feel at home straight away, the area is packed with fun figures from the SunKid range. These colourful figures and ski teaching aids create a friendly and happy atmosphere in the FOXpark. However, even before entering the park itself both children and adults alike are drawn to the area by the towering multicoloured entrance – a real eye-catcher! Thanks to an excellent cooperation with Meingast and its Czech partner Milan Jurdik (Sitour), SunKid has managed to create the largest children’s ski area in the whole of the Czech Republic!
