Skiing in Wisła: eight resorts from Skolnity in the centre to Stożek and Soszów, plus cross-country trails at Kubalonka. Find the slope that suits you.
Wisła is one of the places where skiing began in the Beskids. Today it has several resorts of different scale, from small slopes with a single chairlift to larger complexes with several runs and a bike park in summer. The overview groups them by location, so you can pick a slope close to your lodgings.
The nearest is Skolnity, in the very centre of town on the slope of Wierch Skolnity. It runs all year round: skiing and snowboarding in winter, downhill biking in summer, and the chairlift carries visitors up in any season.
The summit of Wierch Skolnity is nicknamed the Roof of Wisła. A wooden lookout tower 38 metres high, built from black locust wood, stands on it. A similar mix of slope and summer attractions is offered by Soszów, four kilometres from the centre, on the flank of Soszów Wielki, 886 metres high. The resort was built in the 1980s. It has a four-seat chairlift 815 metres long, a drag lift, three button lifts and six runs, with a bike park added in summer.
In Wisła-Malinka, not far from the Adam Małysz ski jump, are two resorts: Cieńków and Klepki. The first is bigger, the second more intimate. Jumping in Malinka is covered in the article Ski jumping in Wisła-Malinka.
Cieńków has eight runs totalling 6.87 kilometres, between 524 and 720 metres above sea level. Six lifts serve them, including a four-seat chairlift a thousand metres long, three button lifts, a conveyor belt and a lift for beginners. Klepki is a small resort on the southern slope of Czupel with a four-seat Leitner chairlift (600 metres) and two button lifts, one of them a short one of 180 metres. It suits first descents well.
Larger runs are found at Nowa Osada, Stożek and Stok in Jawornik. Each has a chairlift, and the runs at Nowa Osada and Stok are lit, so you can ski there after dark.
Nowa Osada lies on the slope of Wróblonka hill. Its Doppelmayr chairlift is 960 metres long with a 196-metre rise, backed by two button lifts and six runs. Stożek, five kilometres from the centre on the slope of Stożek Wielki (979 m), descends from 959 to 713 metres and has five runs totalling 3.3 kilometres, one black, two red and two blue; the longest, through forest, is 1.6 kilometres. Stok in Jawornik has four runs, a chairlift, a winter playground for children and a short green run for learning. The runs are groomed, snowmaking is used and they are lit after dark. The article Skiing in Wisła and Ustroń shows how skiing developed in the area.
Yes, on the Kubalonka pass there are four cross-country loops, the shortest 2.5 kilometres and the longest 7.5, with a 3 and a 5 between. They are managed by the Central Sports Centre in Szczyrk, and the trails have snowmaking. A biathlon range lies beside them.
At Skolnity, Soszów, Stożek, Nowa Osada, Cieńków, Klepki and Jawornik. Cross-country skiing is at Kubalonka.
Klepki, a small resort with a short button lift, and Stok in Jawornik, with a short green learning run and a children's playground.
Several resorts run a bike park then, including Skolnity, Nowa Osada and Soszów.
A wider list is in the Wisła section, and all the region's slopes are on the Skiing page.
