Szczyrk Mountain Resort opens 2026/27 ski pass sales from PLN 112
Szczyrk Mountain Resort has launched online ski pass sales for the 2026/27 winter season, with prices advertised from PLN 112. The announcement, published on 29 October 2026, encourages visitors to purchase in advance through Gopass rather than wait until they arrive at the slopes.
The PLN 112 figure is a starting price, not a promise that every visitor or date will qualify. The announcement does not identify the pass duration, age category or dates attached to that price. Anyone budgeting for a holiday should check the product and total cost offered for their preferred skiing days on gopass.travel before committing to travel.
A resort in the Silesian Beskids
Szczyrk Mountain Resort is in southern Poland, in the Beskid Śląski (Silesian Beskids), on the slopes of Małe Skrzyczne and Wierch Pośredni. The resort lists the two mountains at 1,211 metres and 1,000 metres above sea level respectively. Its setting makes it a winter-sports destination for visitors from elsewhere in Poland as well as neighbouring countries.
According to the resort’s current overview, its own ski area offers more than 20 km of pistes, including around 4 km of floodlit runs. Older official information gives a different total, so visitors should use the current piste map and operational updates rather than assume that every published kilometre will be available on a particular day.
The terrain is described by the operator as varied, with slopes suitable for beginners and more experienced skiers. That variety matters when travelling in a group: members with different confidence levels can plan their days around suitable pistes rather than treating the entire mountain as one uniform challenge. The operator’s map shows a network of numbered routes and lifts, but the availability of individual runs remains dependent on conditions and daily operations. Check piste grading on the official map before selecting a route, particularly if you are skiing with children or someone still developing their technique.
Lifts and access to the mountain
The main base is Szczyrk-Gondola, at 53B Salmopolska Street. Its 10-person gondola carries passengers up to Hala Skrzyczeńska, at approximately 1,000 metres. From that hub, skiers can reach routes towards Solisko, Wierch Pośredni, Zbójnicka Kopa and Małe Skrzyczne.
Chairlifts also form part of the resort’s network. Choosing where to begin the day is therefore worth considering alongside your ski pass purchase: a route that suits an experienced skier may not be the right starting point for a first-timer. The official piste and lift map provides a clearer guide to connections than a general description of the area.
The resort also promotes a shared ski pass arrangement with the Central Sports Centre (COS) in Szczyrk and Beskid Sport Arena, providing access to almost 40 km of pistes across the participating areas. Do not assume that every product advertised from PLN 112 includes this wider coverage. Check the precise areas covered by the ski pass selected at checkout.
Facilities for families and beginners
Families can find practical services at the Szczyrk-Gondola base. The operator lists ticket offices, an information centre, equipment rental, ski storage, a servicing facility and a shop. It also describes parking for approximately 500 vehicles and places to eat or take a break. These facilities can make a difference when several people need equipment or help before reaching the lifts.
The official Szczyrk Ski School provides ski and snowboard instruction for children and adults. Its Maxiland Arena training area is designed for people learning the basics. Located separately at 10 Narciarska Street in Szczyrk-Czyrna, rather than at the Szczyrk-Gondola base, the 5,000-square-metre zone has two 60-metre conveyor belts and a 120-metre button lift. It offers a setting where beginners can practise without immediately entering the resort’s main piste network.
Maxiland has its own admission arrangements: the resort states that standard Gopass ski passes are not valid in the training area, and that capacity is limited. Access to the main resort’s lifts with a Gopass product should not be confused with admission to Maxiland. The resort publishes separate Maxiland charges, but visitors should check the applicable price and entry arrangements for their intended date directly with the operator before travelling.
For the 2025/26 season, the school’s published lesson price list advertised a ski pass for the duration of a lesson and priority lift access through a FAST PASS. Those are documented 2025/26 school-package conditions, not benefits attached to an ordinary Gopass ski pass. They should not be assumed to apply to 2026/27: the cited official material does not establish the full lesson pricing and included benefits for the new season. Families planning lessons in 2026/27 should request confirmation of the current package, any included lift access, Maxiland admission, lesson availability and the correct meeting point before booking.
Food and rest stops are another consideration. Hala Skrzyczeńska has the Kuflonka restaurant, while the lower gondola station offers additional food and drink options. Planning breaks around these locations may be particularly useful when travelling with younger children.
What this means for your trip
The headline offer makes it possible to start comparing 2026/27 ski pass costs now, but PLN 112 should be treated as an advertised entry price rather than a universal daily rate. Look up your travel dates on Gopass, confirm the pass duration and covered ski areas, and check whether children, lessons or equipment hire need separate bookings.
Before departure, consult Szczyrk Mountain Resort’s official map and lift information for suitable pistes and operating conditions. If your group includes beginners, check Maxiland’s separate entry rules and availability at its Szczyrk-Czyrna location, and confirm the 2026/27 ski school’s lesson terms before arranging instruction. Buying a lift pass early may help with budgeting, but your final plans should still reflect the snow conditions, opening information and actual services available when you visit.
