Velká Úpa lies along the Úpa River in the eastern Krkonoše Mountains, where a narrow inhabited valley rises between forested slopes toward Sněžka, the Czech Republic’s highest mountain. The settlement forms part of Pec pod Sněžkou, a long-established mountain-resort town at the foot of the range. A cable car from Velká Úpa reaches Portášovy Boudy, while marked routes continue into the higher terrain of the Krkonoše. Winter brings skiing to the local slopes; warmer months suit hiking and cycling in the valley and on the ridges.
