Beskydy is the northern part of the Carpathians, located on the border of Poland and Slovakia. The length of the Beskydy is about 300 km. These mountains are certainly not as high as the Alps (the highest point of the Beskydy Mount Baba Góra is 1725 m), but the picturesque landscapes, the number of ski resorts and the development of infrastructure are clearly not inferior to the latter. The most popular resorts of the region are Krynica Zdrój (Beskid Sądecki mountain system), Shchyrk and Vistula (Beskid Шląski mountain system).
