Szczyrk Mountain Resort

The operator locates Szczyrk Mountain Resort on Małe Skrzyczne and Wierch Pośredni in the Silesian Beskids. Its introduction advertises more than 20 km of SMR pistes, including 4 km with lighting. The approximately 40 km common-pass description adds separately managed COS and Beskid Sport Arena terrain; it is not SMR’s own piste inventory or proof of a single continuously open ski network.

The current common-pass rules explicitly allocate piste preparation responsibility: SMR covers references 1, 2, 3, 3A, 3B, 3C, 4, 4A, 5, 7, 8, 9, 9A, 10 and 11; COS and Beskid Sport Arena have separate lists. The independent map uses matching community references within the reviewed SMR extent and excludes neighbouring resorts. Its individual way segments are not a count of pistes.

Use the actual local signs and choose terrain for your ability. Maxiland in Czyrna is a separate learning area; the operator describes the Zbójnicka Kopa chair as helping access gentler terrain. Unconfirmed: exact current local colours for individual mapped community ways are not established; they remain grey rather than receiving an inferred universal grade.

The operator describes one 10-person gondola and three 6-person chairlifts in SMR’s main infrastructure. A1 links the Salmopolska base with Hala Skrzyczeńska; B1/B2 serve the Solisko side and B5 the upper connection towards Zbójnicka Kopa. The linked rules identify A1, B1, B2 and B5 as the SMR Fast Pass lift set. The live landing currently mixes COS lifts with summer mountain-bike information, so its five-row display is not a complete winter SMR inventory.

The November 2026 hours page lists the A1 gondola 09:00–16:00 for 7–15 November alongside bike-park and autumn services. The winter ticket page separately uses 08:30–16:00 for daytime passes. These have different scopes. Unconfirmed: actual public skiing, the exact 2026/27 first and last ski day, each winter lift timetable and the complete final-return chain are not established.

Under the linked general resort rules, the gondola permits travel up and down, while other ski lifts are uphill-only. They also place the last-boarding notice at each lower platform. Historical: the currently linked general rules have a 2024 filename and the gondola rules a 2020 filename. Confirm their current application, the last download and every cross-sector connection with staff; do not treat an old closing reference as permission to remain on the mountain.

The principal gondola base is at Salmopolska 53B. The operator lists P1 and P2 there and P3 at Narciarska 10 in Czyrna as free car parks for passenger cars, with buses and campervans prohibited. Paid camper spaces at Gronie Ski&Bike, Salmopolska 30, are a different facility. Check the current parking signs and available space; a source listing is not a reservation.

The operator recommends reaching Bielsko-Biała by rail, then using Komunikacja Beskidzka buses from the nearby bus station towards Szczyrk. It identifies stops by the Gondola and Solisko lower stations. Unconfirmed: a complete date-specific 2026/27 bus timetable, final return, ski-equipment carriage, shuttle service and step-free transfer are not established here. Verify the actual transport service before booking.

Confirm whether your lesson or rental is at Salmopolska 53B or Czyrna, Narciarska 10. The location pin is only an approximate base reference. Arrange mobility assistance and the full arrival/boarding/return sequence directly; the gondola rules ask passengers needing help to notify staff, but do not establish a complete accessible journey.

The 2026/27 page sells common daytime passes for one to six days across SMR, COS and Beskid Sport Arena, subject to each area’s operating hours. Online Gopass prices depend on purchase time and the selected date/category. The 29 October announcement advertises prices from PLN 112; this is an advertised starting price, not a guaranteed fare for every day. Check the live selection and final terms before paying.

The actual 2026/27 rules exclude evening skiing, Fresh Track and New Year’s Eve from the ordinary common pass. They also exclude Maxiland and lift M from day, evening and listed season-pass products, with separate admission and capacity limits. Timed afternoon products and locally valid four-hour passes have different scopes. Do not assume a shared pass includes lessons, hire, learner access or an open physical connection.

Conflicting sources: the winter price page describes Fast Pass access on all SMR lifts, while the 2026/27 rules specify A1, B1, B2 and B5. Confirm the exact permitted gates before buying. Unconfirmed: the selected day’s final total, refunds in an individual closure case and any individual assistance arrangements are not established by this guide.

The linked resort rules require using designated open pistes, following staff and signs, keeping speed suitable for visibility and conditions, and giving the skier below space. They prohibit skiing under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Wear a suitable protective helmet and check current age-specific requirements before travelling. Training and closed-event areas require permission. Use the actual signed local grade and stop clear of narrow or blind sections.

After hours, grooming machines and snowmaking create hazards. Historical: the linked 2024 rules retain specific touring and post-lift time references; these do not establish a current 2026/27 touring permission or evening calendar. This guide covers managed downhill skiing, omits backcountry/freeride lines and does not turn the rental of touring equipment into route access. Agree any permitted uphill use directly with the operator.

The operator’s first-aid page directs mountain emergencies to GOPR on 985 or +48 601 100 300. Give the exact location and follow rescue instructions. Unconfirmed: current patrol deployment, medical opening, rescue response, snow stability, adaptive assistance and a safe complete return for an individual trip are not established. Check closures and arrange the full return before boarding; neither the map nor archive photo proves safety or current operation.

The operator places an alpine rental and service point in the main gondola building and another alpine rental at Czyrna near Maxiland. Touring/splitboard rental is also advertised at the gondola, under a separate activity scope. It lists equipment lockers, with two sets fitting one purchased box, and rental contact +48 787 142 140. Confirm actual sizes, availability, collection and return time; a general directory does not establish that a shop is open today.

Szczyrk Ski School lists lessons for children and adults, and separate training areas at Maxiland and on the main pistes. Its lesson-time pass/Fast Pass offer needs checking against the exact booking. The restaurant directory identifies Kuflonka on Hala Skrzyczeńska and Apres pod Gondolą near the base. Unconfirmed: the actual winter opening, lesson/hire total, food service, accessible toilets and required individual support remain to be confirmed for your visit.

The resort infocentre lists +48 694 359 590 and +48 33 443 00 43 during resort hours, with info@szczyrkowski.pl. Gopass enquiries use +48 12 420 70 78, listed daily 08:00–16:00, for the online/pass system. These are enquiry contacts, separate from GOPR emergency numbers. State your intended base, date, ability and mobility needs, and ask for every final lift and onward journey.
