Zieleniec, Ski resort in Duszniki-Zdrój, Poland
Zieleniec is a ski resort in Duszniki-Zdrój in Lower Silesia, spread across slopes between 740 and 1,025 meters in elevation with more than 20 kilometers of terrain. The resort has multiple ski lifts and runs of varying difficulty for beginners through advanced skiers.
The area transformed into a major winter sports destination during the 20th century, shifting from a small mountain village into a draw for skiers across Central Europe. Infrastructure for skiing and tourism grew gradually to serve visitors from neighboring countries.
Visitors come from Poland, Germany, and the Czech Republic to ski here, turning the area into a seasonal hub for winter sports enthusiasts from nearby countries. Locals and tourists mix on the slopes and in mountain cafes throughout the winter months.
The resort is easily reached from the nearby town of Duszniki-Zdrój, which offers direct access to the slopes and lift areas. The season typically runs from December through April, though conditions depend on winter weather patterns.
The mountain's local weather patterns bring regular snow that can extend skiing well past typical European seasons, sometimes into Easter week. This reliable snow makes the resort less dependent on artificial snow production than many competing areas.
