What ski runs does the Karpacz Ski Arena offer to winter sports enthusiasts?

Easy slopes suitable for beginners:

• Liczykrupa (length 900 m, elevation difference 124 m) – a ski run recommended for learning to ski, suitable for children and beginners. It provides very good skiing conditions and is artificially snowed if needed. The trail is long, wide, and comfortable. Skiers are transported here by the two-seater Liczykrupa chairlift.
• Jan (length 750 m, elevation difference 102 m) – an easy and wide ski run, ideal for learning and beginners, accessible via a connector from the top station of the Euro lift.
• Złotówka (length 850 m, elevation difference 142 m) – an easy, wide slope suitable for beginners. Beautifully located with fantastic views, which is a major advantage. The Strzecha Akademicka mountain hut is nearby.
• Kubuś – a short slope specially designed for children, serving as a "ski kindergarten," located at the lower part of the station.

Intermediate ski slopes:

• Euro (length 700 m, elevation difference 124 m) – a wide slope, ideal for intermediate skiers, right next to the Euro Poma ski lift. This slope is also connected with the Grosik and Jan lifts and is artificially snowed.
• Grosik (length 1000 m, elevation difference 243 m) – an interesting and long run for quite advanced skiers, with a significant elevation difference. The Grosik T-bar lift runs alongside the slope, and the slope is also connected to the Złotówka lift.

Advanced slope:

• Z Kopy (length 1500 m, elevation difference 400 m) – an interesting slope that is challenging due to the elevation difference, but experienced skiers will enjoy it. Skiers and winter tourists can reach the Kopy summit via the Zbyszek lift with four-seater chairs. From the top station, it's also possible to reach the Śnieżka summit via a hiking trail.
