Child rates apply to those under 13 years. Prices above are for Snomads in-house rental shop, partner prices and payment may vary slightly. Rental will be charged and needs to be paid in GBP (£).

Everyone can benefit from a lesson or two, and we can help arrange these, from beginner to advanced to backcountry guides. We only work with a couple of the highest regarded ski schools in resort, which we believe deliver three vital requirements: experienced instructors, a range of ability groups and small class sizes.

A variety of lessons are available including mixed group, private group, or one-to-one tuition. For mixed group lessons, students will be grouped with others in resort of similar ability. All lessons take place in the main ski zone at the top gondola station, so a ski pass is required.  We recommend booking lessons in advance of your stay to ensure you get the best options. Please note we will simply put you in touch with our recommended partners for lessons and the booking will be made directly between you and the ski school, with all information, meeting points, times and payment arranged directly.

Sitting on the mountainous border between Poland and Slovakia, Zakopane is the perfect base to explore the Tatra range of the Carpathian mountains. With top quality skiing and snowboarding for half the price of better known European ski resorts. The ski areas around Zakopane are made up of over 15 individual resorts covering over 100km of slopes, some independently owned and run. The vast majority are covered by a single Tatry Super Ski pass.

Our ski chalets are situated at the heart of the best skiing both Poland and Slovakia have to offer. The different ski areas vary massively with something for everyone, whatever your ability, it’s a bit like a ski pick and mix.

Beginners can learn at floodlight Nosal ski center which is situated directly opposite our Stardust chalets.

Improvers will love the empty, wide pistes and personal tuition at nearby Bukowina resort, there we can provide the best instructors to teach the skills you need to enjoy the mountain unaided. For the more adventurous and advanced riders, there’s great piste and free ride skiing at 1980m on Kasprowy Weirch only 5 minutes away.

Taking into account the ability of your group and the snow conditions we’ll work with you on arrival to tailor the weeks transport around your skiing needs, this is included in the price of your stay with us meaning one less thing to think about.

An exciting day trip to nearby Slovakia is also a possibility during your holiday.
