Travel info
Travelling to Poland from the UK is easy, with frequent flights to major cities and ski regions. UK passport holders can visit visa-free for up to 90 days in 180. Ensure your passport is valid for at least three months beyond your stay.
Travel insurance is essential, covering winter sports and medical emergencies. The GHIC card offers limited health coverage.
Poland combines excellent value with a warm, welcoming mountain culture. The Tatra and Sudety ranges offer varied terrain for all abilities, from gentle learner slopes to challenging runs and lively snow parks. Modern lift systems, cosy après-ski spots and traditional Polish hospitality create an enjoyable atmosphere both on and off the mountain. Resorts are easy to reach, food and accommodation are affordable, and snowfall is reliable through the core winter months. Whether you choose well-known Zakopane or quieter gems like Zieleniec or Czarna Góra, Poland delivers a fun, great-quality ski experience without the high Alpine price tag.
