Hotels in Szklarska Poręba: prices, timing and season

When to book a stay in Szklarska Poreba for less

In Szklarska Poreba the price is driven mainly by the season. September is cheapest, when rates drop to about a quarter of the winter peak, as summer ends and the snow has not arrived. December is the priciest, around Christmas, New Year and the first winter break, when the lifts open and rates can be several times higher than in autumn. The arrival day matters too: in the ski cycle Monday tends to be cheapest, Friday the most expensive, at the start of the weekend on the slope. For the winter break and long weekends, book well ahead, as the places near the lift go first.

What a stay costs by property type

Szklarska Poreba has a wide price range, so a guest house room and a ski apartment below Szrenica are quite far apart. The cheapest sleep is in simple rooms and lodgings; you pay the most for ski rooms in peak season and hotels with a spa, of which there are unusually many here. Below are indicative nightly rates.

Indicative rates for a double room, outside the December peak. In Szklarska Poreba the same room can differ several times over between September and the holidays, so check the real price for your dates in the search above.

Where to look for a stay in Szklarska Poreba

The town is small, so instead of districts what counts is the distance from the centre and the slope. Most places are in the centre, near the promenade and the stops, an easy base for both the trails and the shops. Right below Szrenica are the hotels near the foot of the lift, the handiest for skiers though the priciest in season. Towards Jakuszyce, in the highest part of the area, is the base for cross-country skiing and longer hikes, quiet and away from the bustle, where a car usually helps.

Which stay in Szklarska Poreba suits whom

• First time in Szklarska Poreba. The centre, near the promenade, is the easiest base. From here it is close to the Karkonosze trails and the foot of the Szrenica lift.
• For skiers. Places below Szrenica, a few hundred metres from the lift, ideally with parking. Ski rooms in peak season are the priciest, so book early.
• For couples. Hotels with a spa, saunas and a pool, of which Szklarska Poreba has unusually many. Good for unwinding after a day on the slope or the trail.
• For families. Hotels with family rooms and a pool, often with breakfast included. Handy after a full day in the mountains with kids.
• For active summers. A base near the entrances to the Karkonosze National Park, where the trails up Szrenica and the bike routes start. Cross-country skiers and cyclists head to Jakuszyce.
• For those seeking quiet. Places away from the centre, towards Jakuszyce, surrounded by forest. A calm base where a car is more convenient.
