Top 4 Places to Buy a Mountain Apartment in Poland

Top 4 Places to Buy a Mountain Apartment in Poland

Poland is rapidly emerging as one of Europe’s most attractive destinations for mountain property investment. Rising tourism, limited land supply, and strong rental demand are driving increasing interest in mountain apartments, particularly in resort locations that offer both short-term rental income and long-term value growth.

Below are some of the most important mountain destinations in Poland and their investment potential.


Karpacz – One of the fastest growing mountain markets

Karpacz is located in the Karkonosze Mountains near the Czech border. It is one of the most visited mountain resorts in Poland and attracts tourists throughout the entire year.

Winter brings skiing and snow sports, while summer attracts hikers and cyclists exploring the mountain trails.

Property prices in Karpacz are still significantly lower than in the most famous Polish mountain resort Zakopane. Average prices in mountain tourist towns show that Zakopane can reach around 31,400 PLN per square meter while Karpacz averages around 17,700 PLN per square meter. (Poland Insight)

Because of this price gap, from our experience working with investors in Karpacz, demand for short-term rental apartments has significantly increased.

Apartments with mountain views, balconies and parking spaces are particularly attractive for short-term rental.

For investors looking for an apartment in the Karkonosze region, Karpacz offers a balance between tourism demand and relatively attractive property prices.

Szklarska Poręba – A rapidly developing tourism destination

Szklarska Poręba is another important resort in the Karkonosze Mountains. The town has seen rapid tourism development in recent years and continues to expand its accommodation infrastructure.

The number of tourist accommodation places has been steadily increasing, reflecting growing visitor numbers and investment activity. (preprints.org)

Modern apartment developments and resort style investments are being built to meet this demand. Some projects even offer professionally managed rental programs and facilities such as spa areas, pools and conference centers. (view-mountain.pl)

Because the town is still developing its tourism infrastructure, many investors believe that property prices in Szklarska Poręba remain undervalued compared to more established mountain resorts.

This creates an opportunity for buyers looking for long-term investment potential.

Świeradów-Zdrój – Emerging investment hotspot

Świeradów-Zdrój has become one of the fastest growing spa and mountain resorts in southwestern Poland.

The town combines spa tourism with mountain recreation and is becoming increasingly popular among both Polish and foreign visitors.

Compared to other mountain resorts, property prices remain relatively accessible. Average prices are still below some other mountain destinations, which makes the area attractive for investors looking for early-stage markets. (Poland Insight)

Recent infrastructure developments such as modern ski lifts, new hotels and wellness resorts have significantly increased the attractiveness of the region.

Because of these factors, Świeradów-Zdrój is often seen as a market with strong future growth potential.

Zakopane – The most famous but heavily saturated market

Zakopane is the most famous mountain resort in Poland and the gateway to the Tatra Mountains. The town attracts millions of tourists every year.

However, from an investment perspective the market is already highly developed and extremely expensive.

Average apartment prices in Zakopane can exceed 31,000 PLN per square meter, making it the most expensive mountain property market in Poland. (Orla)

Such high prices significantly reduce potential rental yield compared to other mountain destinations.

Because of this, many investors today prefer to look at alternative mountain regions where entry prices are lower, and growth potential is higher.

Why the Karkonosze region offers strong investment potential

Compared to the Tatra region, the Karkonosze Mountains still offer relatively accessible property prices and strong tourism growth.

Resorts such as:

Karpacz
Szklarska Poręba
Świeradów-Zdrój

are experiencing increasing tourist numbers, new infrastructure development and growing international interest.

For investors looking to buy a mountain apartment in Poland, these locations often provide a better balance between purchase price and potential rental income.
