Skiing at BANIA

Skiing at BANIA – main image

This is by no means an article about the promotion of drunk skiing. Bania is a charming, intimate ski resort, perfect for a family trip and learning to skate on two boards.

Those who love skiing and counting down the days to winter holidays, probably dream of medium or large ski resorts with a wide range of lifts and slopes. They can't wait to test their skills, get an adrenaline rush and gain the recognition of the observers. On the other hand, beginners do not always feel comfortable in such resorts, especially when they see the performances of advanced skiers on the slopes, and they stand on skis, swaying with every movement. In such a situation, it may be a good idea to go to a smaller resort and gain self-confidence on specially prepared slopes, among other skiing adepts. Learning is then great fun, without stress, that someone will look at us disdainfully.

What's most important, to learn to ski well, you don't have to travel hundreds of kilometers. In our beautiful Polish mountains you can find many intimate resorts with a very interesting offer for beginners. A good example is the Bania ski resort , located in Białka Tatrzańska. It is an ideal resort for people who have fallen in love with skiing this year.

Bania - a paradise for families with children

Immediately after taking the first step in the resort, you will notice that its offer is aimed primarily at families with young children. Bania attracts younger and slightly older skiers with a 4-seater chairlift, there is also a winter carousel for children and a ski kindergarten made of "inflatable" toys, i.e. huge inflatable toys (eg castles).

This is not the end of attractions for kids. In Bania, no one will laugh if we go to the slopes or donkey meadows with an "apple" under the arm. Nobody's eyelids twitch as we eagerly drag the sledge behind us. Age does not count here, there is no "appropriate" thing - only having a good time is important. You can also ride on "tires", because the center has prepared a snow tubing track for its guests.

Winter 2013/2014 - ticket prices in Bania

The Bania ski resort is directly connected to the Kotelnica Białczańska resort, so after getting used to two boards, you can exercise on other slopes. What's more, when buying a TatrySki ski pass , skiers can use the routes of 5 resorts (Bania, Kotelnica, Jurgów Ski in Jurgów, Kaniówka in Białka Tatrzańska and Czorsztyn Ski in Kluszkowce). In the high season, the price of a 1-day pass for an adult is PLN 95, for a child - PLN 80, and for a senior and youth - PLN 85.

All Bania slopes are lit and regularly snowed, so you can practice on the slopes as much as you want from the first frost until Easter. The resort has a professional ski school and equipment rental for snowboarders and skiers. For those willing, it offers 5 routes, supported by 5 lifts - a chairlift, 2 T-bar lifts, a ribbon lift and a supportless lift number 7. There is also a snow park in the resort, and next to the lifts there is a large free car park (also for buses).

What besides skis?

After intensive learning to ski, you can relax in Termy Bania , relaxing in thermal pools, in a sauna or with a massage. The resort also has Karcma Bania and the Zielony Szałas Grill, where we can taste hot dishes of highlander cuisine. The tourist infrastructure is perfectly organized and extremely rich, so we will have no problems finding a restaurant serving meals that best suit our palate, or accommodation.

Polish mountains have a lot to offer. It is worth finding out for yourself.

In Kołobrzeg, the head does not hurt
One can talk about Kołobrzeg for a long time, after all, it is one of the most beautiful Polish health resorts. Picturesquely situated at the mouth of the Parsęta River, on the Baltic Sea, it invites you for leisure stays, business trips, family holidays and romantic dates. It delights with the richness of the surrounding flora and fauna, enchants with fresh air and tempts with numerous leisure options. Many people associate holidays at the Polish seaside with Kołobrzeg. Many people remember school camps in a city full of monuments, visiting churches (with a mandatory point in the form of the Basilica of the Virgin Mary), a lighthouse or visits to museums. Those who have finished school see Kołobrzeg as a beautiful tourist resort with a strong spa accent. The famous Kolobrzeg peloid has been bringing relief to patients who come for treatment from Poland and other countries, including from Germany or Scandinavia. Effective in the treatment of rheumatic diseases and diseases of the musculoskeletal system, it is also a valuable export product (it is sent to foreign sanatoriums). There are also rumors that it helps to regain vigor - it is more and more often called "Kołobrzeg Viagra" for a reason. She has not been scientifically proven to work on this subject, but no one will deny her power. In the nineteenth century, when the seaside spa park was established, shrubs and trees were planted in peat lumps, thanks to which they absorbed more easily in the white sand. However, the real fame of the city was brought not by mud, but by salt. Already in the distant past, it was shipped by sea and land. Thanks to her, Kołobrzeg became brick early, which was equal to great wealth. Today, the city no longer produces salt, but tempts with brine baths in numerous plants. On the shore of Parsęta, in the northern part of the Salt Island , there is a brine spring - a great tourist attraction, visited by the inhabitants during the pickling season. Homemade pickles can be bought not only in the store, but also on the beach, at sellers encouraging customers with slogans: "Small-salt cucumbers tighten the lower parts".
