About the area
COS Szczyrk packs about 11 km of pistes into a compact hill, split between roughly 5 km of blue, 3 km of red and 3 km of black. With 44% of the terrain green or blue and 27% marked black, it works best for confident intermediates who want short, steep laps. Beginners can make a start here, but there is only one magic carpet and one short easy run near a lift base, so progression is limited. Experts will find the 646 m single-run vertical useful for training rather than for a full day.
Seven lifts serve the area, including three chairlifts plus a T-bar, a platter, another drag lift and the carpet. The slopes run from 538 m to 1,244 m, so snow depends heavily on the weather at the lower elevations. The longest run measures 2,750 m, with 646 m of vertical.
