Affordable ski holidays in Poland

Zakopane is one of Poland’s southernmost and highest-altitude towns, 100 km south of Kraków in the High Tatras. All 21 of Poland’s peaks over 2,000 metres are also located in the Tatras. Zakopane and the nearby towns of Bialka, Bukowina Tatrzanska and Poronin offer good skiing. The ski areas are comparable to Germany’s low mountain ranges.

Skiing in the High Tatras

The High Tatras are among the smallest high mountain ranges in the world. But there is no need to feel overshadowed by the giants of the Alps. This small mountain range in southern Poland offers breathtaking natural beauty. The panoramic views are overwhelming. Ski holidays are also quite affordable. Kasprowy Wierch offers culture, friendly service in distinctive pubs and restaurants serving delicious food. The winter sports conditions are ideal, with challenging downhill runs. Skiing is usually possible until May. The southeastern forested Carpathians are among Poland’s most beautiful mountain ranges. Rysy (Meeraugenspitze) is Poland’s highest mountain, at nearly 2,500 m. It lies in the High Tatras, on the border with Slovakia.
