Wisla is the second-largest ski resort in the Beskid Śląskie region after Szczyrk and one of the largest ski resorts in Poland, with 15,000 hotel beds. The peak season runs from early December to late March.

History of the Resort
Wisla emerged as a resort village in the mid-19th century. Prominent Polish writers, including Maria Konopnicka, Władysław Reymont, and Bolesław Prus, often gathered here for relaxation and creative pursuits. They were attracted not only by the resort’s cozy atmosphere but also by the distinctive local dialect, which contains many Old Polish words.

Massive development of the slopes began in the 1960s. The first boarding houses appeared here, featuring futuristic architecture for the time. Wisla received city status in 1962. Thanks to huge investments in tourism, it has become one of the most popular ski resorts among Europeans. Wisła Ski Areas
The resort comprises four districts, each with its own unique features and advantages.

Ski Areas:

• Cieńków: Located in the center, it features two parallel, kilometer-long lines of T-bar lifts. The total length of the ski runs here is over 3 km, with a vertical drop of 540 meters.
• Stózek is popular for its giant slalom run with a timed descent system.
  Soszów offers interesting runs—for example, the run near the large ski lift makes a sharp turn before the Na Soszowie ski resort and then ascends to the summit along the Polish-Czech border.
• Jawornik is located at the highest point of the resort.
