If you’ve already conquered Bialka Tatrzanska and are looking for a bigger challenge, then you won’t find a better one than Kasprowy Wierch. Kasprowy Wierch, with its almost 2,000m of altitude is Poland’s sole truly Alpine ski resort. With such elevation, the mountain top is usually covered in snow for half of the year, sometimes as early as September, and lasting as late as the early summer months. 

Located in the picturesque Tatra mountains, it is a popular tourist destination throughout the year. In summer it is beloved by hikers, while in winter it is unmatched in Poland as a skiing destination. However, there is a caveat, that Kasprowy Wierch is located entirely within a nature park, which means no snow cannons are allowed. Thus, although it’s the place where the most snow is expected, there is no backup in case of extremely warm winters but due to the proximity of the high Tatra mountains, this has been a rare occurrence over the last few seasons.

One of its main attractions is the iconic cable car that transports visitors from the base camp to the summit. The vertical journey offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, valleys, and lakes, especially in winter. The slopes in Kasprowy Wierch are around 11 kilometers in length and are connected with a reliable lift system that accompanies the main cable car lift. 

During the winter season, Kasprowy Wierch becomes the go-to destination for skiers and snowboarders, as the mountain offers a range of slopes suitable for intermediate and advanced skiers. Moreover, you can challenge yourself and go away from the beaten path for some incredible off-piste freeriding. The mountain boasts varied terrain, including open powder fields and tree runs. Keep in mind that these should be attempted only by advanced skiers with proper equipment and knowledge of avalanche safety protocols.
