Wielka Krokiew Ski Jump
Wielka Krokiew
A large ski jump completed in 1925 and a World Cup venue. You can ride a chairlift to the top of the jump for a view over Zakopane.
Wielka Krokiew is the heart of Polish ski jumping, with a K-point of 125 m. Each winter, usually in January, it hosts an FIS Ski Jumping World Cup event that can draw tens of thousands of spectators.
When there is no competition, you can ride a chairlift to a viewing platform beside the take-off area. From there you can look down the steep inrun and over the whole town of Zakopane. A round trip costs about 25 złoty. At the base, there are stadium stands and displays honoring Poland's ski jumping heroes.
The jump is about 2 km from Krupówki Street, roughly a 25-minute walk.
Opening hours
