Experience the peaks: Gubałówka and Kasprowy Wierch

Gubałówka: A short cable car ride takes you to the summit of Gubałówka, where panoramic views of Zakopane and the surrounding mountains await. The peak is home to the Polonia Restituta Monument, a striking symbol of resilience originally exhibited at the 1937 Paris World Exhibition. Nearby, the historic Gubałówka Shelter, constructed before World War II, houses an impressive collection of Podhale artwork, including the famous painting ,,Polish Health Resorts” and intricately carved wooden pillars depicting scenes of highlander life. Whether you’re strolling along the ridge or watching the sunset cast golden hues across the mountains, Gubałówka is a must-visit destination.

Kasprowy Wierch: a must-see destination, Kasprowy Wierch offers sweeping views of rugged peaks and valleys. The cable car provides easy access, and the summit serves as a gateway to hiking trails, including routes to Hala Gąsienicowa, where the beauty of the high Tatras comes to life.

Hiking trails and winter sports: the magic of the mountains

Zakopane is a paradise for hikers, offering trails of varying difficulty. Family-friendly paths like the Strążyska Valley, located near Sośnica Resort, lead through picturesque scenery to the Siklawica waterfall. Meanwhile, experienced trekkers can challenge themselves with routes in the Starorobociańska Valley or the trail to Giewont.

For those seeking peace and solitude, the Mała Łąka Valley offers tranquility and closeness to nature. Every step in the Tatras is an opportunity to connect with their majesty and rediscover inner calm.

In winter, Zakopane transforms into a skiing paradise.
