Ski tours in the Tatras

While some people prefer reaching the peaks of mountains in the comfort of ski-lifts, ski tourers choose to climb to the summit on their own accord, away from the commotion of crowded pistes

Although the Polish Tatras are not large, taking up an area of a mere 175 sq km, they nevertheless offer attractive ski touring and backcountry skiing opportunities. No wonder ski touring is becoming increasingly popular in Poland.

As in the old dayts

Piste skiing in he Polish part of the Tatras takes place largely in the region of Kasprowy Wierch (1987m), with the chair lifts in Gasienicowy and Goryczkowy cirques. The rest is mountain terrain unspoiled by ski infrastructure, so it takes just a minute to move away from the tourist-packed summit of Kasprowy to the pristine white surfaces of the wild and isolated Tatras.
