Zakopan is a town in southern Poland , situated in Lesser Poland Province since 1999 (in 1975¿98, it was part of Nowy Sacz Province). The town, a place of Góral culture and informally known as "the winter capital of Poland ," lies in the southern part of the Podhale region at the foot of the Tatra Mountains, the only alpine mountain range in the Carpathian Mountains.

Zakopane lies in a large valley between the Tatra Mountains and Gubalówka Hill. It is the most important Polish center of mountaineering and skiing, and is visited annually by some three million tourists. The most important alpine skiing locations are Kasprowy Wierch, Nosal and Gubalówka Hill.

Zakopane has the highest elevation (800-1,000 m) of any town in Poland . The central point of the town is at the junction of Krupówki and Kosciuszko Streets.

Zakopane's hiking trails and ski slopes make it a tourism mecca for all seasons. The downtown bustles with outdoor-wear shops, ski-rental stores, and oscypek stands.

To escape the crowds, one puts on a pair of hiking boots or rents a bike.
