A queue for the lift, a crowd on the trail and loud neighbours next door – does this sound familiar? Fortunately, you can still find places for a weekend without crowds and without such inconveniences. If you are tired of overcrowded trails and crowded resorts, we will show you where and how to find intimate corners for your dream mountain trip.
We are bombarded with various stimuli almost all the time. Rumbling cities, crowded shopping malls, and even popular mountain resorts – practically everywhere we go, we are surrounded by noise and rush. That is why a cozy place for a weekend becomes worth its weight in gold. In a quiet area, it is easier to catch your breath and really relax. A weekend in the mountains without crowds allows you not only to sleep and regenerate, but also to truly break away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Is it difficult to find such a place for true relaxation? Yes and no. You just need to know where and what to look for.
To find a quiet place for a weekend getaway without crowds, it is worth looking at the map and choosing locations away from the main resorts. Instead of heading for neon-lit guesthouses and booking accommodation in the center of a popular mountain resort, sometimes it's better to "go off the beaten track." Our advice? Check out the surrounding villages around the place you want to visit. It's often there, away from the busy trails, that you'll find the most charming spots.
In smaller towns you can find year-round cottages with often better standards and lower prices than in tourist centers. An additional advantage of such places is the immediate vicinity of forests and hiking trails, and also - most importantly - fewer tourists in the area. Such settlements, where life flows at its own pace, are often almost blended into the mountain landscape. The result? You can count on exactly the kind of rest you are looking for.
It is worth remembering that intimate accommodations are becoming increasingly popular today – after all, you are not the only one looking for peace in the mountains. Even far beyond the mountains, beyond the forests ( 😉 ), there may be more guests on weekends than you expect. But don't worry. We know a few proven ways to make the most of the potential of a quiet location.
First – arrive in the middle of the week. If you can afford it, take a weekend from Wednesday to Friday. It will be a bullseye! Also in the peak season. The difference in occupancy between Tuesday and Saturday can be significant. The second way is planning trips outside of the obvious dates – instead of the May Day weekend, choose the second weekend in May, instead of the end of August, choose, for example, the beginning of September. On such dates, even in popular, intimate places, you can count on much more space and peace.
While crowds of tourists flood the Karkonosze and Beskid Mountains, the Śnieżnik Massif remains a quiet haven for those who value authentic mountain experiences. This a picturesque corner of the Sudetes hides places that seem to be frozen in time. Here, behind the mountains, behind the forests, charming valleys and quiet glades await discovery, where the only companion is the mountain wind, and at night – starry sky, which can truly delight.
In the Kleśnica Valley, near Stronie Śląskie, nature has created a truly magical place for lovers of relaxation without crowds of tourists. We are lucky enough to be able to admire it every day, and you can already put it on your list of intimate places to visit on your next free weekend.
The cottage settlement Za górami za lasami is actually located in such a setting, but of course, you don't have to take our word for it.

The Za Górami Za Lasami settlement is not just a name. Quite honestly, it is the quintessence of what you are looking for when planning a weekend in the mountains without crowds. The intimate settlement of year-round cottages is located away from the main road, on the slope of the Śnieżnik Massif. In addition to modern, cozy interiors, we also have other advantages. And one of them is the location. The nearest buildings are over a kilometer away, which guarantees true peace. On the other hand, you can get to the nearest shop in 15 minutes. Za górami za lasami is also a good base for trips to numerous attractions in the area and Hiking – the nearest tourist trail runs 200 meters from the settlement.
In the Śnieżnik Massif you can easily find alternatives to the most popular trails. Instead of taking the crowded trail to the top of Śnieżnik, you can choose, for example, the route through Czarna Góra or paths in the area Mezhygorsk. These less-traveled routes are just as well marked, and the views are just as good as those on the main tourist trails.
A real vacation doesn't always have to mean a five-star hotel or a program full of attractions. Sometimes just find yourself behind the mountains, behind the forests, to discover that the most beautiful moments are born from simplicity. It is in such places, where silence intertwines with the murmur of a mountain stream, and you watch sunsets only in the company of your loved ones, that the most precious memories are born.
