Zakopane, a resort town in southern Poland, is a popular destination for Polish citizens, but remains little known by travelers from non-European countries. In the winter, Zakopane's location near the Tatra Mountains makes it a perfect destination for skiing and snowboarding, and during the summer, the same mountains and surrounding areas make for some truly beautiful hiking, biking, and rock climbing. At any time of year, a visit to Zakopane, and a stay in one of the charming wooden chalets that are common to the region, means a visit to a charming town with shopping, food, and some of the most spectacular mountain views in the region.
