Tourists from abroad really like to visit Polish cities. Many times it was already loud about the opinions of Americans who visited Krakow or Warsaw, as well as citizens of other countries. This time, the British Jake Wallis Simons shared his experience of staying in Poland. He revealed how he remembers a visit to the ski slope in Zakopane.
British skiing in Zakopane
The man chose Zakopane because he was bored with expensive and famous Alps. He visited them many times in his life and wanted to discover new spaces. At first he was fascinated by the slope in Bulgaria, and then decided to further explore less known European directions. He not only wanted to get to know a new place, but also language and culture. He focused on a mountain town appreciated by Poles at the foot of the Tatra Mountains. The tourist was tempted that he was considered a paradise for vacationers.
He assessed the Polish town in the mountains as small and quite flat. He appreciated the multitude of guesthouses and atmospheric streets. Ultimately, it ended not only at a visit to Zakopane, but also in Krakow.

The British decided that Zakopane now has a very good season. However, he experienced disappointment at the very start. It was about the lack of snow. Despite this, the man did not be discouraged by this place. “Although in Zakopane we were surprised by an unexpected thaw, we did not give up and decided to discover other local attractions. From rides with horse -drawn teams to local treats, spa and music. Zakopane offered us many alternatives to skiing, “Jake recalled.
During his stay in the Polish mountains, he visited not only smaller slopes in Zakopane, but also the highest at Kasprowy Wierch. “We managed to experience a real winter adventure there.” – he recalled. He appreciated numerous downhill routes, although he complained about high ticket prices and queues to the cash register. He noticed that it was worth using, and the slope assessed as a paradise for experienced skiers, in which the snow was not lacking.
“I recommend this place to anyone who is looking for an alternative to expensive Alpine resorts, but remember – it’s best to book a visit when there is a certainty of snowfall,” he added.
