About this venue

Wielka Krokiew is more than a ski jumping hill—it’s Zakopane’s iconic winter-sports stage, built to amplify both tradition and big-event drama. Its steep grandstands follow the natural slope, and the venue can welcome around 40,000 spectators, turning major competitions into a true open-air spectacle.

Inside, the experience is all about proximity and adrenaline: sightlines are wide and direct, so every flight feels intense and close. The stands are shaped to keep the inrun and landing in one continuous view, and when the crowd is in full voice the atmosphere becomes the signature “Wielka Krokiew” roar. Visitors also appreciate the option to go higher up toward the top, including using the on-site chairlift.

You’ll find it at ul. Bronisława Czecha 1, Zakopane, Poland. The entrance sits right off the main road; parking is typically handled via nearby roadside spaces and private lots along the street, while arriving by bus usually means getting off close by and taking a short walk to the gate.

About the city: Zakopane

Zakopane, set at the foot of the Tatra Mountains, is one of Poland’s most distinctive destinations for live experiences—from major sports moments to unforgettable concert nights. The town blends mountain energy with a lively, walkable center: daytime is all about nature and panoramas, while evenings bring meeting spots, great food, and an atmosphere that pairs perfectly with going out to an event. If you want a place where travel and nightlife naturally fit together, Zakopane is a reliable choice.

A key advantage is how easy it is to get around and connect to the main points. The local bus network Komunikacja Miejska helps you move between important areas, and it’s complemented by frequent regional coaches and “busy” minibuses to nearby locations. For train arrivals, the main hub is Dworzec PKP Zakopane, and for travelers flying in, the most common gateway is Międzynarodowy Port Lotniczy im. Jana Pawła II Kraków-Balice (KRK), with the option of reaching the region via Port lotniczy Poprad-Tatry (TAT) as well. Once you’re in town, transfers to arenas, stadiums, and larger event venues are typically quick and straightforward, with good taxi availability and pedestrian-friendly routes.

Before or after the event, Zakopane offers a “bonus” few places can match. A stroll along Krupówki is the natural way to tune into the local rhythm, and for a view that stays with you, many visitors head up Gubałówka or take the cable car toward Kasprowy Wierchu. Culture lovers often choose wooden architecture and regional museums, while food fans happily try oscypek and other highland specialties. Altogether, it makes the stay rich without feeling rushed—exactly how a trip built around a great event should feel.
