The Tatras are the only alpine-style range in Poland, with granite ridges, glacial lakes and marked trails running up from Zakopane. Morskie Oko is the best-known lake, reached by a long paved approach; the higher routes, including Rysy and the Orla Perć ridge, are serious mountain terrain. Winter brings skiing and avalanche risk in equal measure.
