Zakopane is located in the southern part of Poland at the foot of the Tatra mountain range. The village is situated at an altitude of 800 meters and is one of the most important winter sports centers in Poland. During the summer Zakopane is very popular among hikers and mountaineers. Many hikers visit this village every year because the facilities are excellent. Walking tracks are well sign posted. For longer hikes you can use one of the cabins in the mountains. During the winter many winter sports enthusiasts visit this place. When the weather cooperates you may be able to go skiing here from December till April. However, January and February are the best months for winter sports. Zakopane has a moderate continental climate. Because of its location average temperatures in Zakopane are lower than in other places in Poland. During the winter most precipitation will fall in the form of snow. Summers are pleasant but never really warm, and this is ideal for active holidays. Because of the mountains föhn winds are not uncommon. The strongest gust of wind ever recorded in the Tatra mountain range blew at a velocity of 250 kilometers per hour.
