We just had a family ski holiday to Zakopane and went with Sunshine World. I must admit, we were sceptical about the conditions and runs, but were so pleasantly surprised. The runs were managed so well and because it isn’t a very well-known area, by us Brits, there were no queues at the lifts. We loved the long blue at the back and the stops for warm beer were nice too. It’s great to see that they are making the place even better with two new lifts (not opened when we were there). There was plenty of snow and the runs were clean and wide, giving us newbies a better chance of not hitting anyone, haha. Sunshine World really made it for us, they organised everything for us, were completely professional and made it fun for us and our little ones. We loved being on the slopes and will definitely book with these guys for next year’s holiday.
