Runs by difficulty

  • blue 13.7 km
  • red 14.1 km
  • black 2.6 km

The split comes from OpenStreetMap. A run with no difficulty tag falls into none of the three bars, so they can add up to less than the resort total.

The colours under the axis show school-holiday traffic per week of winter 2026/2027, from the holidays chapter — the curve is a long-term average, the traffic is this one season. A green band marks a quiet week in a month with at least 70 % of the snowiest month’s snowfall. This season: 7 Dec – 20 Dec, 4 Jan – 17 Jan, 1 Feb – 14 Feb.

This is snowfall, not snow depth on the slope: it says how much usually falls in a given month, not how much lies there. The measuring point sits close to the valley floor, so higher up it snows more.

Is Jaworzyna Krynicka worth it?

Jaworzyna Krynicka is a slope in the Beskid Sądecki above Krynica-Zdrój, one of the oldest spa towns in Poland. A gondola climbs to the summit from the valley, and below the mountain sits the resort with its promenade, pump room and guesthouses -- skiing and a health spa in one place.

In our measurement from OpenStreetMap it comes to about 31 km of pistes, gathered around a single mountain and linked by the gondola and chairlifts. The runs are intermediate and long for the Beskids -- the main descent from the summit runs several kilometres down.

The summit of Jaworzyna reaches a little over 1,100 m, so the vertical is large for this part of the country, and the long descents are its main draw. The season usually runs from December to March.

The price we give is a one-day adult ticket -- 190 PLN from the high-season rate list (checked 14 August 2026). Check prices with the operator before you travel. The drive from Poland is, per OpenStreetMap, about 419 km from Wrocław, 229 from Katowice and 148 from Kraków.
