Two very easy slopes /artificial snow if necessary/ with charming location on the small clearings next to Tatra National Park /very close to Lejowa Valley/. There are three Tbar ski lifts /350m, 250m and 220m/, small ski rental, ski school with an English speaking instructors and tiny restaurant in wooden hut. To get to this slope hidden in the forest you must drive in the direction of Chocholowska Valley and turn to the left near the pension Zajazd u Jozefa. You can also take a minibus Chocholowska Valleyand ask driver to stop near mentioned Zajazd u Jozefa, then walk 200 metres to get to the slope. In high season we suggest to rent the ski equipment in one of the big rentals in Zakopane and to book the ski instructor in advance if you need a lesson. We do recommend Bialy Potok slopes to families with kids. If some of the family/ group member is not going to ski can have very nice gentle hiking to Lejowa Valley or Siwa Polana while the others are skiing.
