Ski resorts in Poland
Fraternal Poland is steadily associated among Russians with their first trips «shuttles», which started market relations in the post-Soviet space. But today this country is confidently taking a strong leading position in Europe in terms of organizing inexpensive, but high-quality winter holidays with the opportunity to go skiing or snowboarding. The entire south of Poland is covered with mountains that offer stable snow cover from the beginning of winter to the end of March. If we add to this the mild climate and high-quality tracks, we can confidently recommend Polish ski resorts to those who prefer the best combination of price and quality in organizing family vacations or vacations..
Zakopane resort
Organized back in the 19th century, the Polish resort of Zakopane is considered the most popular among skiers for a reason. Its modern technical equipment, equipment and infrastructure, which are the envy of the "younger" ski centers, do not give a reason to remember the venerable age. It is located in the Polish Tatras, just a hundred kilometers from the beautiful Krakow. The Zakopane resort is ideal for all categories of lovers of active winter leisure and allows skiing for both green lovers and advanced gurus..
Mount Kasprowy Wierch is the largest skiing region in Zakopane. Its tracks are mostly marked in black, which means they are the most difficult. The longest seven-kilometer descent and an almost kilometer-long vertical drop on the mountain attracts the attention of professionals. Another region is called Gubalowka. It is famous for its ideal views of the Tatra Mountains and the valley below. Using the funicular, you can get here in less than five minutes. The six tracks of Gubalowka are of quite justified interest not only for the middle peasants, but also for their comrades, who stand firmly on the slope. The main entertainment program in the resort of Zakopane takes place in the Rabkoland water park and park, the attractions of which are famous throughout the country.
Spa Szklarska Poreba
This lovely place lies at the foot of Srenica, a mountain with a height of 1362 meters. A small but hospitable and cozy resort offers its fans skiing in a modern equipped winter entertainment complex «SkiArena». It is built on a northwest slope and features the latest drag lifts.
The resort has very easy trails to overcome, for example, Pukhatek and Bystra. Their length is 1450 and 2080 meters, and they will appeal to those who take their first steps in alpine skiing and take lessons at the local ski school. Snezhinka and Lollobrigida slopes are of interest for experienced athletes, and the Wall - for true gurus of alpine skiing.
Zelenets resort
Located in the Orlické Hills on the border with the Czech Republic, Zelenets is a perfect winter vacation destination for the whole family. There are many tracks for the most beginners, but also advanced boarders and skiers have a place to show themselves. 30 lifts tirelessly deliver athletes to the starting points, and the total length of the local network of pistes is a little less than 15 km.
The height above sea level, at which Zelenets is located, is small and is only 900 meters. The local main mountain peaks are Sherlikh and Zeleny Grab. The season lasts almost five months, and the quality of the snow is monitored by snow guns. Fans of racing along the slope on a board can play sports not only on the slopes, but also in a well-made snow park.
The resort has budget and comfortable accommodation options. Hotels-boarding houses for every taste offer a large number of rooms for athletes, and restaurants with excellent cuisine include national Polish dishes in the menu..
Karpacz resort
The highest mountain in the Karkonosz massif, Snezka, has given shelter to the famous Polish resort of Karpacz. From November to mid-spring, beginners and skiers hone their skills and learn to perform complex somersaults here. In total, the Karpacz tracks stretch for 17 km, of which the longest - Zlotówka - has a vertical drop of more than 450 meters.
The foot-workers chose this resort thanks to the two half-pipes built here and a special descent in the area of the Guralka slope. And on the northern slope of Mount Sniezki, where athletes are taken by seven different lifts, there are slopes for the pros.

Under the Pajnkówka Mountain, just south of Zakopane, you can also ride on the slopes of the Polyana Šimoszkova resort.
