Kasprowy Wierch - Summer Chairlift Ride:
From June 27 to August 15, 2026, a ticket (tourpass) for the Kasprowy Wierch cable car entitles you to a scenic ride on the Gasienicowa chairlift. Rides operate on clear, windless days, between 9:00 a.m. and 3:20 p.m. The ride begins and ends at the upper station of the chairlift on Kasprowy Wierch - it is not possible to get off the chairlift at the lower station.
Worth knowing - tickets for the Kasprowy Wierch cable-car are also entry tickets to the Tatra National Park - so if you are going to visit Tatra National Park on the same day as a trip by cable car you don't have to buy an entrance ticket to the park.
