Last Updated on October 10, 2026. Skipes in the Jizerské hory help to get from Jablonka and Liberec to Bedřich, Severák, Count of the Count, Josef's Mine and Tanvaldi's Špičák. In the article we distinguish the seasonal ski bus Skiarina Jizerka from the usual bus lines IDOL, which also carry passengers to the embankments of the Magistral.
Condition for winter 2026 / 2027: The official website of the ski bus still presents last season 2025 / 2026 (29. 12. 2025 to 15. 3. 2026 and 20 CZK per ride). Therefore, we are listing the specific times below as archival and not as confirmed connections for this winter. The IDOL scheduled routes downloaded to the article are valid until 12 December 2026, so they do not cover the winter period after the change of timetable.
Skibus route in Jizerské hory
Last winter, the seasonal bus passed through the eastern part of the Jizerské hory from Jablonec nad Nisou to Genov, Bedřichov and Severák / Count of Upper Maxov and Josefov Dola; the selected connections continued to Albrechtice and Tanvald Špičák. The exact operation of the individual stops was determined by the specific connection.
Season skibus Skiarena Jizerka: what was in force in winter 2025 / 2026
Officially published route led from Apple tree above Nisou over Genov above Nisou, Bedřichov, North-North / Count, Upper Maxov and Josefův Důl k Albrechtici in Jizerské hory and back. Skibus was only riding ski resorts. Price was CZK 20 per person and per ride. The larger groups should have signed up at least two days in advance. These conditions are archival and can change for the new season.
An example of the archival timetable
The following table selects indicative time points from the schedule 2025 / 2026. The organizer has published more connections in both directions; some stops have been served only on order. Do not use the time below as an up-to-date travel plan.
| Stop | Morning to the mountains | Noon direction to the mountains | Return from the mountains |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apple tree n. N., Mansion. | 7:40 | only after agreement * | 17:16 |
| Genoa n. N., transf. | 7:48 | only after agreement * | 17:12 |
| Bedřichov, stadium | 7:57 | 11:35 | 17:03 |
| Genoa Nr. N.-Count, Arnika | 8:12 | 11:50 | 16:50 |
| Upper Maxov, church | 8:27 | 12:05 | 16:35 |
| Josefův Důl, the turtle station. | 8:37 | 12:15 | 16:23 |
| Tanvaldské Špičák I, lift | 8:45 | 12:23 | 16:15 |
* At Jablonice and Genova some stops were marked only for service after prior arrangement; the specific time was not given in the table as a normal passage. The columns are indicative selection, not complete timetable. Complete archival times and notes to stops are on the organizer's page.
Which Entry To Select
- Bedřichov – stadion: central entrance to the Magistrate, suitable for cross-country circuits towards Nová Louka, Kristian and dam.
- Count - Arnika / chapel: good entrance for the North and route to the Royal or Presidential.
- Upper Maxov: practical entrance for the surroundings of Maxov and connection with the Count and Josef's Dola.
- Josephus Mine - railway station and stops in the village: the entrance to the eastern part of the Jizerské hory; from a specific stop there is a difference of walking to routes.
- Tanvaldské Špičák: exit in the area of ski resort and follow-on cross-country trails.
The ski bus route is not the same as the track on the cross-country runs. Choose the exit point, the direction of skiing and the possibility of returning. If you want to get on the middle of the route, check if the selected connection actually serves the stop.
Regular bus lines to help even skiers
Besides the seasonal ski bus, IDOL lines are also used for transportation to the mountains. It is important not to confuse them: some travel year round or according to the normal timetable, others have seasonal reinforcement or restrictions.
- Line 145: Liberec - Bedřichov - Genov nad Nisou / Hrabětice. In March 2026 IDOL announced the preservation of four pairs of connections daily to Hrabětice on weekdays and weekends; the dates included the regime and are not the timetable 2026 / 2027.
- Line 18: Liberec city line via Rudolfov towards Bedřichov. Suitable for travel from the centre of Liberec, but according to a specific connection check the destination stop.
- Line 395: the Liberec-Bedřichov-Jablonec regional connection over Nisou. The precise management and operating days are verified by date.
- Line 791: weekend connection Liberec-Bedřichová-Count-Josefov's Důl-Tanvald-Kořenov / Jizerka according to the timetable valid until 12. 12. 2026. Some connections run only in part of the route.
- Line 650: seasonal connection from Frýdlantska towards the Shift. IDOL in March 2026 introduced three pairs of weekend connections; it was a regime from the end of last season.
For a particular winter weekend first look for a connection to the date of the trip. The very existence of the line does not mean that each connection goes daily or to the destination stop.
Timetables for download
I have stored three publicly available timetables in PDF format so you can open them directly from here. For lines 18, 395 and 791, they are valid until 12 December 2026; therefore, this is not a guaranteed winter schedule after the change of timetables.
- Download PDF: line 791 - Liberec, Bedřichov, Count of Count, Josef's Mine, Jizerka
- Download PDF: line 18 - Liberec- Bedřichov
- Download PDF: line 395 - Liberec- Bedřichov-Jablonec
The season skibus Skiarena Jizerka does not have a separate PDF on the organizer's page; the last schedule was published as a table on the web. Therefore, the important part is overwritten above. Once the organizer publishes the season 2026 / 2027, the times and conditions will need to be updated.
How to plan a trip to the cross-country
- Select the area: Bedřichov and Count are the easiest for the central magistrate; Josefův Důl, Tanvald and Jizerka lie further east.
- Search for a connection for a specific date: weekend, holiday and working timetables may vary.
- Check exit stop: "Bedřichov" is not always one stop. Follow the stadium names, central parking, Maliník or Count.
- Plan your return before departure: For a longer transition check the last available bus or train and keep the reserve.
- For group and ski check capacity: the seasonal bus may have different transport conditions than the normal line.
The Jizerské hory have more entry points, so you can plan a one-way trip: get off in Bedřichov in the morning and end up in Josefa Dole or Tanvald. But such a plan works only if you verify continuity from the destination stop back to Liberec or Jablonka.
Common questions
Does the Scar Scar ride in season 2026 / 2027?
On October 10, 2026, the new schedule was not published on the website of the Skiaren Jizerka. The last published interval is 29. 12. 2025 to 15. 3. 2026.
How much did the ski bus cost?
In the previous schedule the organizer listed 20 CZK per person and per ride. The price for the new season is not yet confirmed.
Where can I find a full chart of last year's times?
The times are on the organizer's page in the table; the main times for Bedřichov, Count of Count, Upper Maxov, Josef's Mine and Tanvaldské Špičák we have also clearly written in this article.
Is there a 791 ski bus?
It is the IDOL line with the common timetable which links Liberec with Bedřichov, Count of Count, Josef Dola, Tanvald and Kořenov / Jizerka. It is not the same as the seasonal ski bus Skiaren Jizerka.
Resources and verification
The route, operating times, price and historical times of the seasonal ski bus are based on the website of the organizer Skiaren Jizerka. Information about March's restrictions on lines 145 and 650 is based on IDOL notifications. The downloaded timetables are local copies of PDF of the carrier / client IDOL; links to other websites in the article are limited to timetables and their actual verification.
