Zakopane best ski resort for beginners

Why Zakopane ski resort is great for beginner skiers

For our first family ski holiday we wanted to find somewhere with easy slopes and great, English speaking instructors. We also didn't want to spend a lot on the skiing holiday in case the kids hated skiing. After a lot of research, we found that Zakopane is one of the best ski resorts for beginners and also one of the most affordable ski resorts in Europe.
