Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Szczyrk à Wisła

Looking for a revitalizing ride in the Beskid Mountains? Set off from Szczyrk, a bustling mountain resort famous for its ski slopes and hiking trails, and wind your way southeast to Wisła, the picturesque hometown of legendary ski jumper Adam Małysz.

This 57.6 km route offers a little bit of everything: plenty of climbing (over 730 meters of ascent!), scenic mountain views, and a mix of surfaces. You’ll spend most of your time cruising on quiet roads and smooth asphalt, but expect some stretches of gravel and forest tracks—perfect for adventure-minded cyclists. About 62% of the trip is paved, making it suitable for gravel or robust road bikes.

The ride takes you through rolling hills, forested paths, and charming Silesian villages, so don’t forget your camera—or your snacks! The final descent into Wisła feels rewarding after all that climbing. Once you arrive, take a stroll along the river and enjoy some local cake at a café to celebrate your ride.
