KASPROWY WIERCH SKI RESORT
.: Tatra National Park / www.pkl.pl
There are two spacious, wide and beautiful ski runs (not always and unfortunately only partly groomed by snowcats) on Kasprowy Wierch - Gasienicowa and Goryczkowa. Both routes begin with a fairly steep slope (the beginning of the Gasienicowa is steeper), but their further course is slightly milder. The most difficult sections of the route are rated as very difficult (black marked) in bad snow conditions (ice, muds) or difficult (red marked) in good snow conditions. A modern four-person chair lift operates in the Gasienicowa, and an old and primitive one with wooden, double chairs in the Goryczkowa.
Important! There is no ski slope for beginners on Kasprowy Wierch!
