For many years, Kraków has welcomed crowds of fans of mountains, climbing and films about outdoor pursuits to a celebration of extreme sports. Between 28 November and 32December, the University of Economics hosts the 16th Kraków Mountain Festival.
The event remains centred around two competitions for Polish and international films. The programme also features meetings with stars of alpinism and extreme sports, and traditional presentations, meetings with fell runners, climbers and alpinists who discuss their achievements and roads to success, frequently paved with obstacles. And of course there will be numerous workshops, training courses and a fair of books, equipment and outdoor kit.
