A ski school offers individual lessons for children and adults. This is complemented by equipment rental and servicing; items available for hire include skis, snowboards, and helmets. This provides a specific point of reference within Nový Jimramov for both first lessons and different requirements regarding the ski runs.

Folk Architecture and Paper-Making History

Nový Jimramov is also characterised by smaller, noteworthy cultural landmarks. A small protected log house at number 40 has been preserved in the village as an example of regional folk architecture. Another historical aspect is the paper mill: it was still operating after 1850 and produced very high-quality paper that was sold in Vienna and Prague. Alongside the Skály castle ruins, this creates a varied picture made up of landscape, regional building traditions, and economic history.
