Cieńków

About the area

Cieńków in the Beskidy is a small, easy hill: about 5 km of pistes, of which 61% (3 km) are green or blue and none are black or marked freeride terrain. That makes it a sensible place to learn — there is a magic carpet for first steps and four short easy runs right next to a lift base. Families can manage, though with only one magic carpet the youngest may have to wait. Experts have little reason to come: no black pistes at all, and the longest single descent gives 195 m of vertical.

The area runs from 517 m to 719 m, with 195 m of vertical, so it is a low hill and snow depends on the conditions. Six lifts serve it: one chair lift, three platters, a rope tow and the magic carpet. The longest run measures 1,159 m; 2 km of the network is red.
