Area Profile
Occupying a small valley between the impressive Tatra Mountains and the tiny hillside village of Gubalowka, Poland’s winter capital, Zakopane, is considered the birthplace of Polish skiing and is the biggest mountain resort in Europe north of the Alps.
It is an excellent location for your ski trip due to the
reliability and quality of the large snow falls. With the
increase in tourism in Poland, and more specifically the
xploding popularity of the region, the winter sports
facilities have benefited from substantial investment.
There are numerous ski areas to enjoy which appeal mainly to beginner and intermediate skiers. The pistes range from gentle learner slopes to more steep and challenging pistes so everyone can develop their skills during the week. The ski season begins in Zakopane from the end of December onwards.
