Flying
Krakow 100km is the closest airport in Poland, the drive to resort can take anything from two to four hours depending on the traffic. Poprad 70km in Slovakia is the closest airport but what with the hassle of taking a car through the boarder crossings youre better off flying into Krakow
By train
Many trains daily between Zalopane and Krakow. It takes 4 hours and watch out for pic-pockets.
