The Ski Resort
The Polana Szymoszkowa ski resort near Zakopane offers about 3 km of slopes. With only blue and red slopes, the ski resort is especially suitable for families and beginners. If you have some experience, you can take the 6-seater chairlift to the highest point of the ski area at the top of Gubałówka. There the 1.3 kilometre long red run starts, which turns blue at the bottom.
Beginners, on the other hand, use the shorter 4-seater chairlift, which serves the blue runs in the lower half of the ski area. There is also a KidsPark with a magic carpet for children.
