About
Kasprowy Wierch is Poland's only high-mountain ski area, on a 1,987-meter peak in the Western Tatras above Zakopane. A cable car running since 1936 climbs from Kuźnice to the summit, where two single chairlifts serve about 3.3 kilometers of FIS-grade pistes plus longer ski routes. The drop reaches roughly 970 meters, and the slopes spill down both the Polish and Slovak sides of the ridge.
