Popular Winter Holiday Destinations in Poland
Zakopane
Undoubtedly the most popular winter travel destination! Whether you're looking to stroll and savor local flavors or are an avid skier or snowboarder, Zakopane has something for everyone. The town features several ski lifts, including iconic ones like Harenda and Nosal. The slopes cater to various skill levels, including the youngest skiers. You'll find chair lifts, platter lifts, gondolas, and for the brave-hearted, T-bar lifts. 
Zakopane is also known for its rich culinary offerings. Both fans of traditional tastes and seekers of unique culinary experiences will be satisfied.
Białka Tatrzańska
Białka Tatrzańska is another popular spot on Poland's winter map, mainly known for skiing! With over 20 ski lifts accommodating various skill levels, it's a haven for winter sports enthusiasts. If skiing or snowboarding isn't your thing, you can take a lift to the top of Kotelnica and admire the beautifully snow-capped Tatra peaks. For ice skating fans, Białka offers two covered ice rinks with a combined area of 1000 m2! Those who prefer relaxation over winter sports can enjoy the thermal pools at the four-star Bania hotel. For more attractions, nearby resorts like Zakopane or Bukowina Tatrzańska are worth a visit.
Szczyrk
Szczyrk isn't just about skiing or snowboarding; it's also about walks, architecture, and picturesque views. But let's start with winter adventures. Skiers and snowboarders will find numerous downhill and cross-country trails with varying difficulty levels. The most popular lifts are located on the slopes of Skrzyczne. Szczyrk is perfect for beginners, offering many schools to quickly and easily acquire basic skills. One of the skiing tournaments takes place here in winter, so if you love such excitement, it's an ideal location for you. If skiing isn't your thing, you can take a cable car to Skrzyczne and enjoy the stunning panorama of the Silesian Beskids. Architecture enthusiasts can visit highland churches, such as the Sanctuary on the Hill or the wooden church of St. James.
Wisła
The last place in Poland we'd like to recommend is Wisła – a winter resort long associated with the figure of Adam Małysz. Today, it boasts several ski stations of varying lengths and slopes, located throughout the city. The most popular stations offer free transport to the slopes with their own ski buses, so it's worth asking for details on-site. Each station has equipment rentals and, of course, schools for children and adults. But that's not all! In Wisła, you can enjoy attractions such as cross-country skiing, ski touring, Skki Trikke rides, snow tubing (sliding on a special snow track in a pontoon), ice rinks, snow scooters, pools, and sledding. Thrills are guaranteed.
