Wierchomla Mała: Ski Resort and Hiking Trails

• The Wierchomla ski resort is in Wierchomla Mała.

• A red hiking trail leads from Wierchomla to the Wierchomla forest reserve.
• Routes to the Bacówka PTTK nad Wierchlomlą are available on foot, by bike, and by bus followed by a walk.

The ski resort offers more than 3.76 kilometers of slopes of varying difficulty. They range from very difficult to very easy, and the slopes start at 896 meters above sea level. This gives you a way to assess the options by their length and stated difficulty levels. The resort also has a ski school. If you would like to include it in your plans, check whether it is available on your travel dates.

The area also has a snowpark, which provides a distinct focus for winter sports alongside the slopes. The different parts of the offer give you several points to consider when deciding what you want to focus on during your stay.

The Wierchomlanka valley defines the village, and the stream flows quickly. Nearby, the Wierchomla forest reserve lies on the slopes of Pusta Wielka, which is 1,061 meters high. It is home to a 200-year-old beech and fir stand. A red hiking trail leads from Wierchomla to the reserve.

This gives you different landscape features to consider in your plans: the stream valley by the village and the forest on the surrounding mountain slopes. If you would like to explore nature and the forest as well as the ski resort, you can include the hiking trail to the reserve as a separate destination.

From Wierchomla Mała, the Bacówka can be reached on foot or by bike along a roughly five-kilometer forest road. Consider local conditions for this option and check them before setting out. The hiking trail to the hut also passes by the parking lot in Wierchomla Mała; if you plan to drive, check the parking situation locally.

If traveling by bus, Wierchomla Mała is the final stop. From there, a black-marked trail leads through forest and across meadows to the Bacówka. Check the current bus timetable before your trip. When choosing your route, consider whether you would prefer to take the forest road on foot or by bike, or travel by bus and then walk.

For days spent at the Bacówka, factor in your chosen route and local conditions; if you travel by bus, include the current timetable in your plans. This will help you compare options against your itinerary.
