Lovers of winter madness probably do not need to be told where Zieleniec lies. The opening of the ski season in its vicinity is a highly anticipated event every year. So if you're wondering if it's time to pull out your skis and snowboard, we hurry to answer!

When does the season start in Zieleniec?

Due to its location and natural conditions, Zieleniec creates an ideal space for winter sports. Not only is it located at a fairly high altitude relative to sea level, it lies in an enclave created by the slopes of the Orlické and Bystrzyckie Mountains. This location again makes the whole of Zielenice stand out with a special microclimate, which is often compared to the Alpine one. Frequent and heavy snowfall and moderately low temperatures occur there. The snow cover itself lasts again for long months, thanks to which in Poland there is no place as favorable for winter sports as Zieleniec. When is the season opening? We are in a hurry to respond!

When do the Zieleniec ski slopes open?

In the 2024/2025 season, the season starts on December 6, so you can go skiing after Mikołajki! Preparations for it lasted from early autumn, so you can be sure that this year, too, the winter madness will be successful.

However, if you are curious about what conditions prevail on the slopes in Zieleniec during the season, be sure to keep track of local media or websites of individual ski resorts. In turn, to get acquainted with the most interesting slopes, read our earlier article: Zieleniec and Duszniki-Zdrój — slopes for beginners and advanced skiers.

How long does the snow lie in Zieleniec?

In this part of the Kłodzko Basin, snow can linger at least until March, and then the ski season slowly ends. The green remains white for an extremely long time, which has to do with stable, low temperatures that prevail there for up to 5 months of the year. An exceptionally long season is also favored by the orientation of the slopes. The slopes of the Orlické Mountains arrange in such a way that they are naturally sheltered from excessive sunlight. This again means that despite positive temperatures, the snow cover lasts longer on them.

When does the ski season end?

In all ski resorts, including Zieleniec, the end of the season is always dictated by the weather. In the case of the Kłodzko Basin, it falls a little later than in other regions of Poland — here winter madness is sometimes possible even until April. Thanks to this, you can spend not only Christmas, but also Easter on skiing.
