Zakopane – the best Polish ski resort
Poland offers tourists not only active recreation but also a wealth of educational and very interesting excursions. You can visit Krakow – the capital of the country, learn about the culture and history of the ancient city. One can also mention the health resorts of Krynica. It is worth considering the most famous resorts of Poland.
Zakopane is the most prestigious Polish resort, sometimes called the 'Winter Capital'. It is located in the south of the country, at an altitude of 750-1100 meters above sea level. It is considered the center of ski entertainment. Zakopane is also famous for its mineral springs and thermal pools. Another local attraction is the beautiful nature, in particular the beauty of the Tatra Mountains. The local mild climate helps treat many diseases, including anemia, tuberculosis, and respiratory diseases.
There are many trails for skiers and snowboarders. The resort is also very popular among climbers. In Zakopane, many ski schools have opened, there is a staff of qualified instructors, and it is possible to rent any type of equipment. A big plus of winter tours here is the opportunity to have fun in the evening when skiing or snowboarding is no longer available. For this, there are cafes and restaurants offering national and European cuisine.
Another equally well-known local resort is Karpacz, which attracts more and more tourists every season. The infrastructure is developed, there are places to stroll in the evening, and the local air is considered healing. If you were unable to purchase a ski tour to Austria, do not be upset, because here they are ready to offer you Austrian-level slopes at Polish prices.
Another popular place here is Szczyrk. This resort is considered by many to be comparable to the Swiss Alps. The season here lasts 3-4 months. Since there are never strong winds here, this place offers very comfortable skiing. In Szczyrk, there are many ski slopes, lifts, cross-country trails, and ski jumps.
This is a favorite place for both beginners and pros, as there are many slopes of varying difficulty.
