You know, one where they groom the pistes and where there are plenty of good quality runs serviced by swift, efficient lifts without any waiting involved?

Here are a couple of the bigger locations that I know of in the Karkonoske..Cosest airports are Prague and Wroclaw. Karpacz (ca. 5,000 inhabitants) is a picturesquely situated town at the foot of Mt. Sniezka. About 17 km. from Jelenia Gora it is a tourist and winter sports center and a perfect spa in the Sudety mountains At the foot of Mt. Szrenica (1,382 m), facing the E14 international highway with the Polish-Czechoslovak frontier crossing is Szklarska Poreba (ca. 8,000 inhabitants,) a town situated in the eastern Karkonosze Range. It is the largest rest and tourist center of the area, well-known for winter sports. From here you can also hop across to Czech republic (which I have to say are much better organised.The best 2 I know of are at Harachov and Liberec

Hi, we were in Zakopane (Nosal) last year and were really pleased with it but we are beginners and havn't had a lot of experience. We were in a couple of other resorts before in Austria and Bulgaria and I must say that I enjoyed Zakopane the most out of all my trips. We went in February and found the snow brilliant. It's a bit dead at night although there are a few clubs. Food is excellent. The Polish people are just the nicest people on earth - polite, kind and very helpful. We did try to say a few words in Polish but were absolutely useless and everyone overlooked this and did their best to speak English to us. Everyone has different standards and it depends on what you are looking for. We look for simple things, good food, good slopes for beginners, good accommodation. If you want a bit more exciting skiing there are better slopes in the Tatry mountains. We had a taxi trip (which cost about £25 each way) to the higher slopes and found a blue run which scared the wits out of us but was well worth the bother. There are also black runs there. We loved it so much, we're off again, this time to Szczyrk, where we've been told the slopes are better than Zakopane. Hopefully they are. Good luck.

I went to zakopane for skiing about 2 years ago and I must say I havent been back since (at least for skiing). Now we go to austria or France which far outshines Zakopane. In Z they dont maintain the slopes and they end up full of holes.The time I was there the ski lift also broke down for a day and it was diff to get a refund on my ski pass for that day.
