Nestled at the heart of the Tatra Mountains sits the magnificent resort of Zakopane, Poland's premier winter holiday destination. Well-known for its rich Góral culture and jaw-dropping panoramics, Zakopane offers ski enthusiasts a feast of fab accommodations, kid-friendly activities, and some seriously top-tier skiing, all delivered with its signature alpine charm.
Newbies and families will enjoy the small skiing areas of Nosal, Szymoszkowa, and Harenda near the resort, with excellent ski schools, a dedicated kids' area, and even a winter fun park with magic carpets and sledge rentals.
For the more confident, take advantage of your Tatry Super Ski Pass by renting a car or grabbing a private minibus or local ski bus at Central Bus Station Plaza to access a further 12 ski stations. This includes the ace resort of Koltelnica and Poland's legendary Bialka Tatrzanska, with 25 slopes perfect for beginners, intermediates, and experts.
Off the piste, experience winter thrills with snow tubing, ice skating, and sleigh rides, or head out for snowshoeing in the Tatra National Park. As the sun sets, the après scene in Zakopane comes alive on Krupówki Street with glasses of mulled wine and cosy taverns serving hearty Polish cuisine. Dzięki!
