Recommended services nearby

I often read or hear comments about how incredibly expensive it is here in our mountains, how our services are subpar, and that we’ve completely lost our way. And I must admit, unfortunately, that’s often true. However, during my time living here, I’ve also come to know many incredibly honest and hardworking neighbors. Most of them have lived here for a very long time, if not their entire lives. They aren’t here to make a quick buck at any cost; they care deeply about the reputation of their beloved home. And it’s these kinds of services that I would like to recommend to you on this page. Please seek them out! Support them! It truly makes a difference, because without your patronage, they won’t be able to stay, and then only the opportunists will remain.

Rapan Groceries

An old mountaineer’s proverb says, “What doesn’t fit in your backpack, you don’t need.” And it’s similar with groceries at Rapan’s – what they don’t have, you don’t need!
Here you’ll find everything you truly need for your stay in Úpa. At very good prices, typical for a local shop, you can buy pastries, cold cuts, cheeses, fruits and vegetables, sweets, snacks, as well as basic toiletries, something to nibble on, a wide selection of alcohol, and much more. Simply everything you truly need. If you have a specific request, many items can always be ordered for the next day. Even a cake, for instance.
And all of this will always be taken care of by the friendly mountain duo, Filip and Eva.
It’s magical to watch how every morning the biggest hero, who got up early, arrives to bring fragrant breakfast and fresh food for the whole day to everyone else at the hut in their backpack. Downstairs, they’ll have a nice chat with Eva and share the first shot of the day with Filip. Immediately, you’ll feel like you’re part of our mountains, and actually, it’s true. You are!

Colorado ski rental

Some say Velká Úpa is short on quality services. This certainly isn’t true when it comes to Colorado – ski rental. Here you can rent everything you need for downhill skiing, ski touring, and cross-country skiing.
But that’s not all! They also offer rentals of top-notch sleds, snowshoes, snowboards, and have a very well-stocked shop for ski accessories and everything else you need for skiing. But what truly makes a good service stand out is their team, who will gladly advise you on everything, explain everything, and customize it to ensure you are extremely satisfied.
You’ll also appreciate their online reservation, offering a 10% discount, which you can arrange before your ski trip, ensuring your ski set is ready for you upon arrival. Why waste time during your vacation?
I’m glad we have them here; my guests are always very satisfied.

Lovecká chata

When locals seek out a fantastic meal, Lovecká Chata is their destination. This is precisely my idea of a perfect mountain restaurant: a beautiful and cozy log cabin, offering warm, good-natured, and delightfully unique service. It’s simply charming and wonderfully comfortable.
The menu subtly shifts with the seasons and holidays, always featuring a delightful touch of regional cuisine.
The serving style is also both interesting and very pleasant.
And the blend of locals and tourists among the guests adds to its unique charm, somehow bringing us all together.
I truly enjoy coming here. Bon appétit…
