About this place
Barely about 25 km from the resort, at the northern foot of the Tatras, lies the densest ski hub in Poland - Białka Tatrzańska (Kotelnica Białczańska), Jurgów and Czarna Góra.
These are three neighbouring stations linked by a shared Tatry Super Ski pass, letting you use slopes on both sides of the valley with a single lift ticket.
Kotelnica Białczańska is the largest resort in the Podhale region, with a network of modern chairlifts, fully snow-covered and floodlit runs, and the longest descent at about 1,900 m.
For guests looking for an evening of relaxation after a day of skiing, Białka also has an extensive thermal-bath complex right by the slopes.

Frequently asked questions - Białka / Jurgów / Czarna Góra ski stations
Short, concrete answers for anyone planning a visit.
How far are the Białka, Jurgów and Czarna Góra ski stations from the resort in Niedzica?
About 25 km - the drive usually takes about 30-40 minutes. Czarna Góra and Jurgów are closest, with Białka Tatrzańska (Kotelnica) right next to them.
Is one lift pass enough for these three stations?
Yes. Białka (Kotelnica), Jurgów Ski and Czarna Góra are part of the shared Tatry Super Ski pass, which covers many resorts in Podhale and on the Slovak side of the Tatras, so a single pass gets you skiing in several places.
Which station is the largest and best for families?
Kotelnica Białczańska in Białka Tatrzańska is the largest - it has a network of chairlifts and many runs, from very easy ones and a separate children's area to difficult runs, so it suits both beginners and advanced skiers.
Can you ski in the evening, and are the slopes snow-covered?
Yes. The runs in Białka, Jurgów and Czarna Góra are floodlit and fully covered by artificial snowmaking, making skiing possible after dark and in weaker snow conditions too.
Where should you go if you're looking for difficult runs?
For demanding descents, choose Jurgów Ski, known for one of the toughest runs in Podhale, and Czarna Góra, which has FIS-homologated runs (including a floodlit descent of about 1,680 m). Białka also has a few difficult runs alongside its easier ones.
How many runs and lifts do these three stations have in total?
These are three separate, neighbouring resorts of different scale: the largest, Kotelnica Białczańska in Białka, with a network of chairlifts and the longest run at about 1,900 m; the compact Jurgów Ski with about 4.5 km of runs; and Czarna Góra with FIS-homologated runs. Together, thanks to the Tatry Super Ski pass, they give access to one of the densest ski hubs in Poland.
How do you get there, and is there parking at the stations?
From the resort in Niedzica you drive your own car down the valley toward Białka Tatrzańska (about 25 km, 30-40 minutes). Each station - Kotelnica in Białka, Jurgów Ski and Czarna Góra - has a car park by the slopes for skiers; exact space availability and any fees are best checked directly with the operator of the given station before setting off.
