Are you still hesitating about where to go on vacation this year? Head to the mountains, and best of all to Szczyrk, famous for its beautiful views, diverse attractions, and idyllic atmosphere! We encourage you even more, as we have prepared three attractive offers for those interested in resting at our hotel. But more on that in a moment.
6 aspects that make Szczyrk an ideal place for a summer stay
The city is primarily associated with winter vacations and long hours of skiing on the slopes. However, in the summer, it has just as much (or even more) to offer in terms of tourism. Among the many advantages, we have selected the 6 most important ones that we hope will encourage you to spend your summer holiday in Szczyrk.
Picturesque landscapes
You won't find views like those in the mountains anywhere else in the country. Heights that reach the clouds, gentle slopes interspersed with deep river valleys, exceptional sunsets, all complemented by a diversity of fauna and flora. Being close to nature helps you calm down, relax, and momentarily detach from the hardships of everyday life.
Silence and tranquility
The soothing climate of this place is a sum of many components. Unlike big cities and seaside resorts, life here moves at a slower pace, there is less noise, and the streets of the city are not so crowded. Wherever you look, there is plenty of greenery, and importantly – you can enjoy fresh air.
Diversity of attractions
The city offers excellent conditions for active recreation. Several hiking and biking trails traverse the town, varying in difficulty. There are also ski lifts and large sports and recreation centers. Additionally, there are rope parks and playgrounds for the youngest. But that's not all.
Guests staying at our hotel, Meta, can enjoy a gym, fitness room, swimming pool, Wellness and SPA area, multifunctional sports field, and tennis court. Furthermore, they can rent bicycles, segways, quad bikes, and recreational buggies for an exciting ride.
By the way, when it comes to relaxation, you don't have to limit yourself only to Szczyrk. You can go, for example, to Wisła to do some sightseeing, to Ustroń to enjoy therapeutic baths in saltwater pools, or to Lake Żywiec, where you can participate in water sports during the summer season. You can reach each of these places in about half an hour by car.
Health aspects
Mountain air has a very positive effect on health. Staying at an altitude above 1000 m above sea level improves overall well-being and condition, and the body absorbs more oxygen. Why? This is due to the increased production of red blood cells and the dilation of blood vessels through which more oxygen and nutrients are transported.
Regional cuisine
The highlander cuisine is famous for its delicious dishes made from fresh, local products. Key ingredients include cheeses, high-quality meats, mushrooms, and aromatic soups (such as sour soup and żur). You can eat in the town or in one of our three restaurants: Terrace, Mirror, or Fireplace.
Lower prices
It's worth mentioning that summer in the mountains is off-season, which is associated with lower prices. In many places, accommodations are cheaper, or attractive packages are offered to guests. We have also prepared a few proposals for this time.
Special offers and attractions for guests of our hotel
During the summer holiday period, three special offers are available: “Mountain Summer Full of Attractions,” “Active Summer – adventure with an electric bike,” and “Sailing Summer in the Mountains – cruise with a helmsman.” Each of them provides free accommodation for children under 5 years old at our hotel along with the possibility of free access to the children's playroom, water recreation areas, and animation programs.
The price of each package includes a range of general attractions, including access to the Wellness area (saunas, steam room, salt grotto), gym, fitness room, indoor pool with jacuzzi, and the Outdoor Summer Relaxation Area. The outdoor pool has heated water and a designated shallow area for the youngest. Adjacent to it is a lit bar, where you can order drinks without leaving the water, and comfortable loungers are spread out around.
Moreover, each offer includes additional entertainment characteristic of it, such as sauna sessions with a Sauna Master, a sailing trip on the OMEGA sailboat across Lake Żywiec, and two electric bicycles available for two days. Detailed information about each package can be found at this link: Sailing summer with a helmsman on Lake Żywiec
