• Szklarska Poręba
This is the name of the mountain peak overlooking the city, as part of the Central Crest of The Karkonosze Mountains. Its altitude is 1362 m above sea level and can be reached by a chair lift from SKI ARENA at the foot of Szrenica. A well known mountain hostel “Szrenica” welcomes tourists at the top of the mountain covered by a granite disforest. Even though Szrenica is not a high mountain it offers climatic and snow cover conditions very similar to The Alpes at the altitude of 2000 m above sea level, which provides excellent skiing conditions and well functioning skiing infrastructure.
