AUTUMN IN THE MOUNTAINS

The mountains have a completely different character in autumn than they do during the summer season. Colourful forests and fewer people on the trails are perfect for peaceful hikes and discovering the area at a more relaxed pace. The Karkonosze Mountains are a good choice both for those who are just starting their adventure with mountain trails and for experienced hikers. It is worth paying particular attention to the area around Szklarska Poręba, which offers access not only to a variety of mountain trails but also the opportunity to discover the fascinating history of the region.

Autumn in Szklarska Poręba – the most beautiful trails and views

One of the routes that allows you to discover the Karkonosze Mountains from a new perspective is the trail leading to Szklarki Waterfall. It is one of the most spectacular waterfalls on the Polish side of the mountains. The trip can also be combined with a visit to Złoty Widok, which offers a new perspective on the surrounding nature. This scenic and easy hike is a great way to enjoy the autumn landscape at your own pace. It is also worth mentioning the longer trail leading to the Pod Łabskim Szczytem mountain shelter.

If you prefer exploring the area in the company of a guide, it is worth checking the excursions organised by Platinum Mountain Hotel & SPA. Such an experience is also an opportunity to discover local stories, legends and interesting facts about the region. You can sign up for a selected hike via the Górskie Stay app.

Autumn in the Karkonosze Mountains by bike – discover the mountains from a different perspective

Autumn landscapes can also be admired on two wheels. A cycling trip allows you to see more of the surrounding area and reach places that would be more difficult to visit on foot. At the hotel, you can rent electric bikes, making uphill sections more comfortable to tackle.

An e-bike is suitable both for a shorter ride and a longer trip through the Karkonosze Mountains. Electric assistance allows you to focus on the route and the views. In autumn, when the days are shorter, it is worth planning your route in advance and allowing enough time to return to the hotel.

After returning from a cycling trip, you can relax in the Wellness area, taking advantage of the swimming pool, jacuzzi or saunas.

Autumn attractions at the hotel – what to do when it rains?

An autumn stay in the mountains does not have to depend entirely on the weather. If it rains or you feel like having a more relaxed day, the hotel offers activities that allow you to stay active away from the mountain trails. You can choose from activities such as Nordic walking in the forest, as well as yoga or Pilates sessions in the fitness room. This means that even on a less pleasant day, you can still find something that suits you.
