Zakopane Mountains Tours

Zakopane is a town in southern Poland with approximately 28,000 inhabitants, situated in the Lesser Poland Voivodeship since 1999. The town, a place of Gorale culture and informally known as the winter capital of Poland, lies in the southern part of the Podhale region at the feet of the Tatra Mountains, which is the only alpine mountain range in the Carpathian Mountains.

Zakopane has the highest elevation (800-1000 m) of any town in Poland. The central point of the town is at the junction of Krupówki and Kościuszki streets.

Zakopane lies in a big valley between the Tatra Mountains and Gubałowka Hill. It is the most important Polish centre of mountaineering and skiing, and is visited by about three million tourists annually. The most important alpine skiing locations are Kasprowy Wierch, Nosal and Gubałowka Hill.

Zakopane Mountains History

The earliest documents mentioning Zakopane date to the 17th century, describing a glade named Zakopisko. In 1676 it was a village of 43 inhabitants. Together with a section of the Tatra Mountains, it was sold in 1824 to the Homola family. Its further history was connected with the development of the mining and metallurgy industries in the region - in the 19th century it was the largest centre for metallurgy in Galicia and later with the progress of tourism. Its growth progressed greatly over the 19th century, as more and more people were attracted by its mild climate, and it soon progressed from being a small village, into a climatic health resort of 3000 inhabitants (1889).
