Activities in Zakopane

  1. Mt Kasprowy Wierch

    Mt Kasprowy Wierch (1985m) offers some of the most challenging ski slopes in the area, as well as the best conditions, with the spring skiing season sometimes extending as late as early May. You can get to the top in 20 minutes by Cable Car, then stay up the mountains and use the two chairlifts, in the Goryczkowa and Gąsienicowa valleys, on both sides of Mt Kasprowy. The view from the top is spectacular (clouds permitting) and you can stand with one foot in Poland and the other in Slovakia.

  4. Aqua Park

    An excellent place to cool off on a warm summer’s day is Aqua Park, with indoor and outdoor pools, slides, various saunas and – ­incongruously – bowling.
