There are so many possibilities here that I'm not sure where to start. So I'll just start with sports attractions and see where it takes us :)
SKIS
We have a cool thing called SKIPASS in Wisła, which brings together 14 ski resorts in the area. With one card you can travel to several places without any restrictions. However, we have an even cooler thing - a skippass discount for our guests!
The nearest ski lifts are Stok Ski Station (1.6 km), Skolnity Ski Station (2 km) and Soszów (3.4 km). Stok and Soszów are located in the Jawornik valley, so to get to them, you don't have to go along the main road towards the center of Wisła. There are many rental companies in the city, including ski touring ski rentals - so don't worry about equipment shortages. As instructors (unfortunately no longer professionally active ;) ), we will be happy to recommend and advise which slope is best to go to, which instructor or ski school to sign up for and where to rent equipment.
And here we would also like to draw your attention to the extraordinary skis that Olek creates in his factory. FORSZTY not only looks great, but also drives great. You can see them, touch them, test them and of course buy them ;)
ICE RINK
The newest winter attraction in Wisła - Ice Rink and Park of Lights in the very center.
BICYCLE
There is an asphalted bicycle path next to the Villa, which runs through Wisła and Ustroń to Brenna. This is a very pleasant trip for people of all ages. You will find a bit more challenges in the Skolnity bike park and, of course, on the Beskid trails. We will be happy to advise you where to rent bicycles (traditional and electric).
HIKING TRIPS
The nearest hiking trail (blue) starts behind the gate and leads to Soszów. You can use it to make an interesting circle: one way along the blue trail to Soszów, and back along the green and red trails (12 km in total). In Soszów, a break in the shelter is obligatory to listen to Stary Dobre Małżeństwo, try something from Kasia's menu and drink one of the local beers chosen by Paweł. The walk can easily be extended by reaching Stożek or Czantoria.
If the weather is nice, you will see great views of the Tatra Mountains and the Slovak Fatra Mountains from Barania Góra. The loop starts at the parking lot in Wisła Czarne, passes through Barania and descends down the Biała Wisełka valley.
SOMETHING FOR WATER FRIENDS
Less than 2 km from us there are two swimming pools - the popular Tropikana in the Gołębiewski Hotel and the more intimate one in the Stok Hotel. Additionally, in the Center, behind the Amphitheater, there is a new Wisła Pools complex - an outdoor swimming pool with heated water, a sandy beach, slides, etc. open only in summer. Swimming is prohibited in the artificially created Czerniańskie Lake, but it is worth going there for a walk around the dam and the view from the picturesque observation deck. A beautiful, hidden place is the Gańczorka retention reservoir near the sources of the Olza River. You won't be able to swim here either, but it's a good place to walk for some peace and quiet.
OTHER IDEAS
Or rather just a few (dozen) of them :) I will always be happy to provide more information after your arrival at the Villa.
- a walk along the city promenade (in the season, of course, rather crowded),
- Ski Jump. Adam Małysz and a trip to the starting tower,
- Cieńkowska Loop,
- Adam Małysz Trophy Gallery,
- 'roof of the Vistula', i.e. Mount Skolnity with numerous attractions for children and adults,
- a trip to the Museum of Magical Realism (I think the name itself is intriguing and encouraging enough!),
- visiting the Jerzy Kukuczka Memorial Room, run by his wife Cecylia,
- climbing in the Base Camp Istebna rope park,
- seeing the famous Koniaków lace (preferably in the tiny but charming Koniaków Lace Center),
- scratching sheep and tasting oscypek cheese at the Shepherd Center (also in Koniaków, right next to the lace center),
- quick ascent to Ochodzita for views from the Wallachian Gate,
- visit to the ethnographic Chata Kawoluka (the host, Mr. Janek, is a great and witty storyteller),
- going to the Czech side and looking for picturesque Czech houses (e.g. near Soszów).
