Snow, mountains, wooden chalets, and cozy cafés — that’s Zakopane in winter, the ultimate Polish alpine experience. Often called the Winter Capital of Poland, Zakopane transforms into a magical town full of lights, snow, and life.

Visitors can enjoy skiing on Kasprowy Wierch, snowboarding in Białka or Bukowina, or simply walking along Krupówki Street covered in fresh snow. For those seeking relaxation after a day on the slopes, nearby thermal baths such as Chochołowskie or Bania offer a soothing escape.

But Zakopane is more than a ski resort — it’s a cultural experience. You’ll hear traditional highlander music, taste regional dishes like “kwaśnica,” and see architecture inspired by the famous “Zakopane Style.”

Book your Zakopane winter tour from Krakow and discover why this mountain town has captured the hearts of travelers for generations.
