A day at Szczyrk to blow the cobwebs of working hard
The town is a popular winter sports centre, with over 60 km of ski runs served by 30 ski lifts. Poland’s Winter Olympics athletes train in Szczyrk for events such as skiing and ski jumping.
The two mountain ranges that surround the valley are dominated by the peaks of Skrzyczne at 1,257 metres (4,124 feet) and Klimczok 1,117 metres (3,665 feet), both of significant interest to tourists since they have commanding views from either peak. Moreover, both peaks are accessible to most people in one day’s hike via the tourist routes. Skrzyczne is also accessible via a chairlift.
