The population of a small town in southern Poland does not exceed 30 thousand people, but with the onset of winter, the number of people here increases several times. The reason for this is the excellent ski slopes on the slopes of the Tatras, equipped with the latest technology and designed for both advanced skiers and green beginners. However, tours in Zakopane are in demand in the rest of the year, because hiking in the mountains also looks very exciting.
Choose any for yourself
In total, ten ski resorts are open in Zakopane, among which you can choose a ski slope or a hotel for every taste. The most popular sports center is Kasprowy Wierch, where strong athletes prefer to ride. The height difference here reaches almost a kilometer, and the length of the tracks reaches nine thousand meters.
Not only skiers but also snowboarders aspire to Gubalowka. For fans of flying with the breeze on the board, tours in Zakopane are an opportunity to hone their skills on the technically perfect halfpipe in Gubalowka.
Ski areas in Zakopane are rather scattered, and there is no single ski-pass system, but the disadvantage is more than compensated for by pleasant prices for equipment rental, lifts and accommodation. All ski centers have snow cannons and night lighting in their arsenal, and those wishing to learn how to stand on the slope on a board or ski can take a collective or individual lesson from professional instructors.
Briefly about the important
- In winter, tours in Zakopane are bought mainly by skiers. The season for them begins in December and lasts until mid-spring. The weather during this period is dominated by sunny, and thermometers drop below zero, as a rule, only at night. In summer, the weather in this area is favorable for long walks. The air does not warm up above +25, and precipitation is quite rare.
- Tours in Zakopane start at Warsaw Airport. In the capital of Poland, you should change to a train to Krakow, from where regular buses leave for the ski area.
- Since the resort does not provide a ski-bus system, you should choose a hotel in the immediate vicinity of the slope on which you are going to ski. This way you can quickly get to the desired lift.
- In the central part of the city for lovers of various entertainments, a water park with excellent water attractions has been operating for several years.
