Beskidy in winter
Winter in the mountains is primarily associated with snow. Here, the guarantee of enjoying all the related attractions is the greatest. Winter in the Beskids is full of possibilities, both for those seeking activity and those needing relaxation. We encourage you to combine pleasure and seek balance.
White madness
In our immediate vicinity, there is one of the best ski resorts in Wisła - Nowa Osada (www.zima.nowaosada.pl). For downhill skiing enthusiasts, there is a modern chairlift here, and for beginners, a platter lift. There are gentle and medium difficulty slopes available. A big advantage is the developed infrastructure - on-site you can hire an instructor, enroll a child in a ski kindergarten, there is equipment rental and several dining points. You can ski both during the day and after dark, with a pass available for evening skiing.
Near our resort, there are cross-country skiing trails. The Jonidło complex is located just a few hundred meters away. You can rent equipment there and hire an instructor. A bit further away, at the Kubalonka Pass, there is a trail complex recommended by the Polish Ski Association. Here, cross-country fans will find a 5 km trail, mostly running through the forest. This is also where the snow guarantee lasts the longest.
Skitouring trips are becoming increasingly popular. This type of skiing allows you to discover Beskid trails and routes beyond them in a completely different way. Several equipment rental places operate in Wisła, and you can arrange a several-hour trip with an instructor. There are many places to visit this way. You can admire the views and enjoy the descents. However, this form of recreation requires proper fitness.
In a Highlander tune
A winter mountain trip is also an opportunity for integration and fun to regional music. In Wisła and the nearby area, there are several places where traditional sleigh rides take place. We recommend the route to the nearby Gościejowa Valley. The sleigh ride should definitely end at a mountain hut, where you can warm up by the fire, roast sausage or oscypek cheese, and taste regional dishes and drinks. It is possible to organize such an attraction for our guests.
The ice rink awaits
From this winter season, Wisła boasts an additional attraction, offering a great alternative to skiing and snowboarding. In the center, near the park, on the area that serves as a swimming pool in summer, there is an ice rink. Fun is guaranteed for both children and adults. There is a well-equipped facility on-site to warm up and recharge when spinning pirouettes outdoors stimulates the appetite. Skating is also possible in the evening. There are also musical attractions inspiring movement to their rhythm.
Proximity to nature
However, not everyone feels the need to actively spend time doing the mentioned sports. Our area also promotes regeneration in the slow life rhythm. Silence, peace, less known paths, trails to discover. There are many places of power to find in Wisła. There is a forest to visit, your own meadow or clearing to find, a walk along the river, a trip to the dam in Czarny. It's also visiting the Rodło cascades in the valley of the Biała Wisełka river, though at this time of year, sleigh rides passing by are part of the experience.
Some people, taking advantage of the winter swimming season, may be tempted to try the sensations caused by immersing themselves in the queen of Polish rivers. There are plenty of places favorable for immersing in water.
Caring for the body
Winter outdoor activities are often cold therapy, which needs to be complemented with warmth. Intense physical activity, often during trips, allows us to enjoy pleasures we usually don’t have time for, but it requires regeneration. Tiredness, pleasant but still tiredness, can cause muscle soreness. The body can show which parts we used too much or haven’t used for a long time. After engaging in winter sports, it's worth taking care of relaxation. A sauna, jacuzzi hydromassage, or some relaxing treatments in our spa can help.
This is also a great option for those looking for calm, coming to rest, oxygenate, and relax. Professional staff will help choose the treatment according to needs and preferences.
We invite you to discover the Beskids, Wisła, in the winter season!
