"A mountain in the Western Tatras, Kasprowy Wierch towers 6,519 feet above the border between Poland and Slovakia. A cable car runs to the top, making the mountain an ideal place for skiing in the winter, hiking in the summer, or simply enjoying the sweeping views year-round. There are two ski runs that go to the bottom, though both are rather demanding and require experience. If you decide to attempt them, be prepared to wait for the cable car, as Kasprowy Wierch is a very popular skiing destination. In the summer, you can take the cable car to the top starting at 7 a.m., or walk all the way up—depending on the route, it’ll take you about four hours."

Amazing place! We took the cable car and bought our tickets earlier that morning. When we arrived, we saw a very long line, so it’s worth checking the website even if you’re already there. Prices change depending on the time of day, so if you want a cheaper option, check the website to see when it’s best to go. We went up the mountain and hiked back down — really beautiful!

A must-do if you are in zakopane! If you don’t have tickets still show up! We were able to get on the last car of the day and it was busy.

Cable car to bring you up to Kasprowy. Spent about $38 USD for round trip. Seems pricey but honestly is so worth it. This will give you access to hike the other peaks nearby. Nice restaurant / cafe at the top although it was really packed so we weren’t able to get a seat and get any food or drinks.

Waited in line to get a ticked for about 1,5h, eventually decided to hike instead of waiting. Great hike (northern route along the left side of the river) fairly easy if trained well maintained path except for all the garbage :( after the ascend we wanted to take the cable car but we were told that again we needed to wait a long time with the possibility of being stranded. Eventually I decided to do the descent by foot what ended up in a beautiful scenic hike into sundown!

Went there for the last Cable Car up. Saw amazing sunset. Not bad food at restaurant, nice beer. It was freezing cold up there but worth the struggle

Great views. We hiked. 3 h up. Took cable car back down 30 euros, very expensive. To expensive for a Eastern Europe country. Makes no sense its more expensive than the ones in North America…. But it is what it is. No parking close must get private parking. Lots of people. Great views at the top Only. Worth it for hiker not so much for non hikers, your kind of just gonna wait in a super long line to get on top of a mountain then you have 1,40 min max on top before waiting in line again and going back down. Cool hike for hikers. Not super difficult

It's as beautiful as it is crowded. Buy your tickets in advance and only from PKL official website. Depending where you are staying you can most likely get to the lift station by walking. You can bring water and snacks with you, although the cafe is great if you're planning on exploring for a while, and there is a lot to explore. But please don't leave your litter behind. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes. It is a hiking trail and not a fashion runway. Also watch your kids as there are no safety restrictions and you can easily fall down the mountain. Mid mornings and early afternoons are very, very busy so do expect large crowds, and remember, you are not the only one so be kind and be polite and your experience will be that much more enjoyable. The beauty of the mountain range speaks for itself so you will not regret choosing it as a family friendly activity.

The wait was horrible. Way too long, even with a timeslot. But the view, PERFECTION. I would recommend to go up with the cable car and go down by foot. The view of the mountain while going down, was amazing.
