It has become a tradition – our winter trip for a week of skiing in the mountains. Every year we have new experiences.
For the holidays in 2016, we went to Gliczarow – a small town near Zakopane. It is a place loved by amateur skiers, and that’s where we belong.
We used the slopes:
Gliczarów Górny – Stosel
Tiny slope, quite good for learning to ski. It has a ski lift and a very nice service. There are also a lot of skiing instructors that you can hire for ski lessons. Prices are low.
Gliczarów Górny – U Steni
Three slopes. Well, when we visited, only two were working, but one of them is for small children only. There is no parking lot nearby, so parking is quite a challenge. When we were there, there was also a 15-minute break in operations. Prices are average. Impression – negative.
Bukowina Tatrzańska – Rusin-ski
Full professional. That’s the reason this slope is called one of the best in the area. Two super-high capacity ski lifts. Slope much larger than the previous two. However, it requires more skiing skill. In our opinion, we were able to ride here on the last day of our stay. Prices are high, but you have to pay for quality.
New skills?
First of all, Justine learned to ski. It is well visible on the movie, where at the beginning you can see her ski lessons with an instructor, and finally skiing down at a rapid pace on the Rusin-ski slope.
New experience?
Instead of renting skis, we decided to buy them second-hand, because we don’t have high expectations. The difference is that instead of spending money on rental fees, we could return home with our own skis.
