Mosorny Groń (1047 m a.s.l.) is the kind of summit that delivers a big reward for a modest effort. From the top you get sweeping views of Babia Góra, the Żywiec Beskids, the Maków Beskids and — on clear days — the distant Tatra Mountains, all within a 90-minute walk from the village of Zawoja.
The peak sits on a side ridge of the Policy Range in the heart of Zawoja, the largest village in Poland. Its broad, gently rounded summit divides the Mosorny Stream valley from the Jaworzynka stream valley. The terrain is welcoming in every season: lush green pastures and forests in summer, vivid autumn colours in October, and a lively ski area in winter. The atmosphere is relaxed and family-friendly — a refreshing contrast to the busier Beskid hotspots.
How to reach the summitThe name 'Mosorny Groń' has Vlach (Wallachian) origins: 'mosor' refers to a ladle carved from a naturally shaped piece of tree trunk, while 'groń' means a steep riverbank — a quiet reminder of the shepherding culture that shaped these mountains.
