We took s taxi from zakopane to Nosal, it was less then 20 mins journey. You can buy the ski pass and hire ski’s when you get there. They also have ski school/instructors if you want to book lessons. We emailed in advance to book the lessons for our children.

Go to the PKP bus stop/station, it can be quite hard to navigate and understand, the staff inside the information ticket area are helpful but not the most informed but we managed to understand the Platform 4 was where to stand, wait for a minibus to come to the platform and double check with the driver, ‘Nosal Ski’ if you get the nod get 3zl ready for payment (around 0.69€) and hop on. Recommended to not take skis on, managed to upset a few locals a few days in a row doing that. The driver will generally give you a nod in the mirror when it is your time. Stay calm and remember, there is logic to the chaos.
