Where to park for Mount Śnieżka?

The most convenient place to park is Karpacz Górny (Upper Karpacz), at the start of your chosen trail:

  • for the blue trail from the Wang Temple — municipal car park no. 4 on ul. Przewodników Górskich: 8 PLN per hour or 40 PLN for the whole day (until midnight), paid around the clock (order of the Mayor of Karpacz of 22 October 2025, as of September 2026); the Wang parish also suggests leaving your car 500–800 m from the church, at the car park on ul. Karkonoska or at ul. Spokojna 1, and car parks called “Wang” or “Vang” do not belong to the parish,
  • at the lower station of the chairlift to Kopa (black trail) — municipal car park no. 7 on ul. Olimpijska, with the same rates,
  • at the Orlinek ski jump — a paid car park at the start of the red trail; sources give different rates, so check the price on site.

For a full-day hike the day ticket is usually the better deal. All municipal car parks are described on Parking in Karpacz.
