[5][6] Nearly all slopes are characterized by significant variability in forest height (from 3 to 30 metREs), with clearings, cut-throughs for pistes and associated ski lifts, and extensive glades.

[6] On the steep eastern slope, there is a rock group named Skalý Medvědí hory,[7] stretching from the summit to about 850 metres above sea level.

The maximum average inclination of the eastern slope, near the rock group at elevations around 950 metres above sea level over a 50-metre section, does not exceed 55°.

The slopes are covered with a network of roads with designated cycling routes (e.g., Uhlířská cesta) and generally unmarked paths and trails.

To enhance the attractiveness of the mountain tourist area near the village of Loučná nad Desnou, following the earlier construction of a chairlift[9][10] and the establishment of the NS Rysí skála educational trail, the state enterprise Lesy ČR decided to build an observation tower called U Tetřeví chaty near the upper terminal of the chairlift.

[12] The tower has a cuboid shape with dimensions 4.1 × 4.1 × 18 metres and features a steel skeleton structure with internal circular stairs around the walls, mounted on a concrete foundation.

[13] It is clad in vertical wooden slats and has window openings and viewing balconies situated at different heights on some walls, along with a main platform under the roof.

[13] The summit plateau is traversed by a main path from the Tetřeví chata tourist intersection, marked with an informational board indicating an elevation of 1,165 m, to the Medvědí hora (Rysí skála) tourist stop, marked with an informational board indicating an elevation of 1,162 m.[3] The summit plateau is forested with spruce forest and covered with alpine grass.

Additionally, at the foot of the northwest slope, close to the flowing Divoká Desná river, there are two oval connected water reservoirs, measuring 40 m and 95 m in length.

[19][20] The Czech Tourist Club has marked four hiking trails on the slopes or at their bases:[3] Kouty nad Desnou – Skály (2)[b] – U obrázku pass – Dlouhý vrch – Medvědí hora – Kamenec (1) [pl] – Mravenečník [pl] – Dlouhé stráně summit – upper reservoir of the Dlouhé stráně Hydro Power Plant – U Okenní štoly[21] Pod Medvědí horou – Borový potok river valley – Schnellerův kříž[d][22][23] – Vodopád Borového potoka waterfall Kouty nad Desnou – Divoká Desná river valley – U Kamenné chaty – Praděd National Nature Reserve – Velký Děd [pl] – Praděd summit[24] Kouty nad Desnou – Hřbety [pl] – Nad Petrovkou [pl] – Kamzík – Velký Jezerník [pl] – Sedlo Velký Jezerník pass – Švýcárna [pl] mountain hut – Praděd – U Barborky [pl] pass – Petrovy kameny – Ovčárna [pl] – Karlova Studánka Around the slopes or at the base, four cycling routes run on the following trails:[3] Loučná nad Desnou – Seč – Čepel [pl] – Mravenečník – Medvědí hora – Kamenec (1) – Dlouhé stráně – Velká Jezerná [pl] – Divoká Desná river valley – Kouty nad Desnou – Černá stráň – Přemyslovské sedlo pass – Tři kameny – Ucháč – Jelení skok – Loveč – Lískovec – Loučná nad Desnou[25] Přemyslovské sedlo – Přemyslov – Loučná nad Desnou – Seč – Kamenec (1) – Skály (2) – U obrázku pass – Medvědí hora – Kouty nad Desnou U obrázku – Medvědí hora – Kamenec (1) – Mravenečník – Margareta Přemyslov – Černá stráň – Hučivá Desná stream valley – Červená hora – Šindelná hora [pl] – Suchá hora – Kouty nad Desnou – Hřbety – Nad Petrovkou – Petrovka[26] Additionally, on the northwestern slope, mountain biking routes of the Bikepark Kouty are marked:[3][27][28] Koutíkův sen: Upper station of the cable car – Medvědí hora – Areál Kouty (cable car) Stará medvědice: Upper station of the cable car – Medvědí hora – Areál Kouty (cable car) Hřebenovka – Kouty: Upper station of the cable car – Medvědí hora – Dlouhý vrch – U obrázku pass – Skály (2) – Kouty nad Desnou Uhlířská stopa: Upper station of the cable car – Medvědí hora – Kamenec (1) – U obrázku pass – Skály (2) – Kouty nad Desnou At the foot of Medvědí hora, a road climb runs along route 44 from the town of Loučná nad Desnou to Červenohorské sedlo pass, popular with cyclists and motorcyclists:[3] (Length: 11.8 km, elevation gain: 506 m, average gradient: 4.3%, 9 road loops)[29] During snow periods, some hiking and cycling trails are used for cross-country skiing.
