Tatra Classic: Ascent of Kasprowy Wierch via Hala Gąsienicowa
Route description
We start in Kuźnice and head for the beginning of the blue trail (via Boczań) and the yellow trail (via Dolina Jaworzynka). There we get onto the old ski run, to the left of the blue trail, following the arrow for skiers. At Nosalowa Przełęcz we turn right and follow the ski run towards Hala Gąsienicowa. This section ends with a short descent from Królowa Równia to Murowaniec, where you can top up on fluids ;) From the mountain shelter, the ascent to the summit of Kasprowy Wierch awaits, following a line to the left of the ski runs. From the summit we ski back down to Kuźnice on the main ski run. If conditions allow, you can ski all the way down to the Jana Pawła II roundabout, also known as the Kuźnice roundabout.
