FAQ Palenica

The path to Palenica is easy, but you have to climb up a little (about 250 meters vertically). The route is marked and begins at the car park next to the lower cable station, goes through Palenica (upper station) and reaches Szafranówka. It takes about 70 minutes to cross.

For comparison: the chair will take you to the top in no more than 5 minutes.

There are skiing slopes next to three ski lifts at Szafranówka (ideal for families with children and for beginners), as well as next to a chairlift (black trail - difficult and gentle downhill slope, ending at the lower station). There is also a parking lot, equipment rental and ski service. The routes are snowed and groomed regularly.

The blue trail, running along the ridge of the Smaller Pieniny, is a great place for cross-country skiing.
