What winter sports are available?
The 14 kilometres of groomed slopes provide a concrete indication of the scale of the downhill skiing options. The range of difficulty levels is another feature you can take into account when planning. Cross-country trails and a snow park are also available as distinct ways to make your stay more active. This lets you consider downhill skiing, cross-country skiing and the snow park as separate activities rather than grouping them under a single one.
The ski area's operation and conditions depend on the season. If your trip is planned mainly around winter sports, check the latest operating information in advance. This allows you to account for the seasonal nature of the offering without treating the stated number of kilometres of slopes as a claim about operations on a specific travel date.
What do the summer activities offer?
The scenic cable car takes visitors to the summit in just a few minutes. From there, the view extends across the Tatra, Gorce and Pieniny ranges. This combines the ride with a clearly defined destination and views across three mountain regions. Since it is a seasonal summer offering, check the latest operating information before your trip.
By contrast, mountain bike trails are the main attraction at Gravity Park. Their one-way layout and varying difficulty levels provide specific criteria you can use to assess the offering. The focus is therefore different from that of the scenic cable car: here it is the trail layout and difficulty level; there, it is the ride to the summit and views across the mountain ranges mentioned above.
What makes Terma Bania distinctive?
Terma Bania adds swimming pools and water slides to the range of activities. The number of pools and the total length of the slides describe different aspects of what is on offer: 15 swimming pools and more than 300 metres of water slides in total. Check the latest visitor rules before your visit.
