Szklarska Poręba - a charming town in the heart of the Sudetes - is a place where winter rest takes on real meaning. Picturesque landscapes, clean mountain air and countless attractions create ideal conditions for family relaxation, but ... is that enough? Mountains in winter are more than skis and snow - it is a way to temporarily forget about everyday life, where even children discover the magic of nature again. So why not choose this unique space for the holidays with loved ones?
Winter holidays - what's new?
The season in Szklarska Poręba promises to be as predictable as ... surprisingly. What's new? What a friend, but in a new form? Or maybe it will simply gain freshness thanks to the cold air and white peaks? Let's try to ignite it.
New attractions and amenities for the season
- Ski routes, which have never been so "arranged" before. Thanks to the extension of the infrastructure, we will still find something for beginners and professionals, if only to argue, who drives better.
- Extracts with heated seats - because why is the cold in the mountains, right? Comfort above all.
- The ice rink in the very center - for those who prefer more controlled slipping, but still want to pose for winter sports heroes.
Current trends in family tourism in the mountains
- There is no joke with ecotourism. Snow rockets and cross -country skis become a serious competition for classic slopes, and the search for silence is supposedly a new extreme sport.
- Wellness at every step. Can the day on the slope be finished differently than in the jacuzzi? The answer is clear, although difficult to do.
- Educational workshops in the mountains - because why not find out how to make wax candles sitting in a snow -full hut?
Planned events and winter events
- The Piast Run - a classic that is always fresh. Are you starting Are you supporting? One of two.
- Ice Sculpture Festival - an ice monument to your dreams can only exist here. It is a pity that not for long.
- Christmas market - or maybe gingerbread and oscypek are secret ingredients of winter magic?

Winter activities for the whole family
Szklarska Poręba - the winter capital of the Sudetes, where everyone will find something for themselves, although not everyone is looking for it. Here's what was prepared for families. Get ready for an adventure, which sometimes requires more patience than courage.
Skiing and snowboarding
Szrenica, with its countless ski routes, is proof that the mountains can be both friendly and demanding. Imagine long, white ribbons stretching between the forests. And now ... add crowds. But calmly, it's part of the charm.
- FIS route : ✅ A real test for those who are not afraid of the word "risk". 2 km long, 50% slope - a place where snow does not always work in your favor.
- Lolobridida : ✅ Can there be something more majestic than over 4 km of gentle turns? Yes, provided you drive quickly enough so as not to be overtaken by a 5-year-old sled.
- Pooh : ✅ Mild, easy and, let's face it, crowded. Perfect if you prefer more conversations in the queue for the lift than conventions.
Skipass prices
- One -day:
- Adults: PLN 160
- Children and youth: PLN 150
- Weekly:
- Adults: PLN 790
- Children and youth: 730 PLN
Remember that prices may change, but the atmosphere of crowds on the slopes is constant.
Sleds and ice rinks
For those who prefer less skis, and more laughter (and maybe bruises), Szklarska Poręba has prepared something special - sled and ice rink. Some toboggan run are even legendary - apparently it was on them that the speed was tested before the invention of skis.
- Slashless routes near the lifts are available to everyone, but only for those who like straight ahead - turns are a completely different story.
- The ice rink in the city center, open from 10:00 to 18:00, is a place where you can feel like in the arena - but with less audience and more falls.
Winter walking trails
For families who want to breathe fresh air, but not necessarily admire them from the lift, winter hiking trails are the perfect choice. Although "perfect" depends on the number of layers of clothing.
- Szklarki waterfall : ✅ A short, uncomplicated route that ends with a spectacular view of the waterfall. Does it work for children? Depends how hungry they are.
- Golden View and Medicine : ✅ Rocking formations and views that are worth every minute of walking. Perfect if your family is able to appreciate the magic of nature - or just get tired enough not to complain.
Do not forget - winter trails can be capricious. Check the weather forecast and don't be afraid to take an additional thermos with tea. It is better to be prepared for any eventuality, even if the only challenge is to find a place in the parking lot.
Additional attractions and entertainment
Szklarska Poręba is a place where time slows down, but emotions accelerate. Away from ski conventions and crowds on the slopes lies a world full of surprises - museums, events, workshops and relaxation zones that can surprise even the most dry tourists.
Visiting local attractions: museums, monuments, art galleries
- The Museum of the House of Carl and Gerhart Hauptmann : 🖼️ The history of the Hauptmann brothers is a story about passion and art, which finds its expression in the warm interiors of their home at ul. November 11, 23. It is worth coming and ... maybe by accident stay longer than planned? ( MuseumDomhauptmannow.pl )
- Mineralogical Museum : 💎 A real treasury at ul. Kilińskiego 20. See the Gibeon meteorite and a collection of fossils that remind you that time is more than minutes and hours. ( Arch.szklarskaporeba.pl )
- Artistic photography gallery : 📷 A place where photos say more than words could say. Located in the heart of the city, the gallery changes exhibitions, but it does not change that it is worth visiting.
Culture and events: concerts, Christmas fairs, festivals
- Christmas Fair : ›In December Szklarska Poręba turns into a fairy -tale world full of handicrafts, local delicacies and mulled wine. But beware - the smell of gingerbread can be stronger than your will. ( Arch.szklarskaporeba.pl )
- Concerts and performances : 🎶 In MOKSIAL, you never know what will surprise you-a jazz concert or maybe a children's theater. One thing is certain: it is better to check the program before you miss something special. ( moksial.pl )
- Ice Sculpture Festival : ❄️ ice sculptures that seem more fragile than winter, but can survive long enough to delight everyone.
Workshops for children: craft classes, cooking and other activities
- Craft workshops : 🖌️ Children can try their hand at ceramics, creating decorations or painting. Will something go wrong? Maybe. But this is the charm of these classes.
- Culinary classes : 🍪 Note - cooking is art, and eating what has been cooked can be a challenge. Local restaurants draw children into the process of creating regional dishes - from dumplings to oscypek.
- Animations and games : 🤹♂️ Some hotels offer animation programs that remind you that children can also play without smartphones.
Relax zones: SPA and pools for parents and children
- SPA centers : 🛁 treatments, massages and saunas that can relax even the most stressed parents. And children? They can try special treatments for the youngest.
- Hotel pools : 🏊♂️ Hotels such as "Golden Horizon" or "Five Seasons" offer pools that are large enough so that children can go crazy, but calm enough for parents to breathe.
