Top Winter Activities Spots in Zakopane

Always have your own snacks and water. The prices at the shops on the slopes were outrageous, and I regretted not bringing my own food.

I recommend bringing your own snacks and drinks; the prices at the cafes are a bit steep and there are some nice spots to chill with a view if you pack a little picnic.

When zip-lining, go right after it opens at 10 AM. I waited until the afternoon and the lines were super long, I basically wasted a whole hour standing there

Bring snacks and drinks with you or grab something from one of the small cafes nearby. The food on the slopes was pricey!

Don't forget to take breaks and enjoy the views! I was so focused on skiing that I missed some gorgeous panoramas.

If you're renting gear, consider going to the local shops instead of right at the resort. I saved a bunch by doing this, plus you can take your time trying stuff on.

Don't forget to check the weather before you go! I thought I'd have a sunny day, but it turned cloudy and windy. It changes fast!

Grab a snack or lunch at the small cafes nearby instead of the main lodge. I found a cozy little spot with awesome pierogi that was way cheaper and less crowded.

I suggest hitting the slopes early, like by 9 AM. The lines were way shorter, and I got fresh powder, which was a blast!
