Kotelnica Białczańska Ski Resort

This relatively modern ski resort is the largest in Poland, and arguably the best in terms of infrastructure and organisation. Perfect for families, beginner and intermediate skiers, there are over 30km of ski routes, including several for cross-country skiers (free); a ski school and rentals; plus plenty of hotels and karczmas (highlander taverns serving hearty local fare), as well as a water park next door. Getting there from Kraków generally takes just under 2 hours; check e-podroznik.pl for bus connections.
