Route description
The route from Korbielów to Pilsko leads to the second-highest peak in the Żywiec Beskids, right on the border with Slovakia. In summer it's a calm, well-trodden route through Hala Miziowa.
The forest trail (ski runs in winter) climbs gently through the woods, with steeper sections above Hala Miziowa. Over 6.8 km one way there's around 940 m of elevation gain: solid, but with no technical difficulty.
At the summit, right on the national border, the view opens up over the Żywiec Beskids and the Slovak side of the mountains. A good option for a first serious outing into this range.
Who it's for
For people looking for a solid but not overly technical climb: a good option for a first serious outing in the Żywiec Beskids.
