Area

Krokus is situated just above the Wisła town centre, at the southern hill of the Partecznik mountain, in beautiful place with a view over the Czantoria, Soszów Wielki and Stożek mountains. It is a perfect accommodation base, as it is near tourist tracks and ski slopes.

The location on the hill above the town centre makes the whole area peaceful and quiet. You can fully appreciate nature and in less than 20 minutes be in the hearth of tourist town to enjoy all the attractions it has to offer.

Krokus is a wonderful starting point for mountain, foot and bicycle trips. Nearby there is a yellow trail going to the Trzy Kopce Wiślańskie – a place, where three Beskid towns meet: Wisła, Ustroń and Brenna. From the top of the mountain you can see such peaks, as Skrzyczne, Kotarz, Grabowa, Orłowa, Równica and Czantoria.

There are two ski slopes within 1.5-2 km from the hotel: Partecznik and Skolnity. The Krokus reception desk has discount cards you can buy for the ski routes.
