Zakopane for couriers: mountains, the Zakopianka, Krupówki

Three apps under the Tatras

Zakopane had 24,921 residents (as of 31.12.2025), and in season far more people stay here. Orders come from Glovo, Pyszne and Uber Eats; Glovo has run without slots since 5 October 2026. One settlement partner handles all your accounts.

From 750 to over 1,100 m

Outside the Tatra National Park the town lies at 750–1126 m above sea level, and the crossing of Krupówki and Kościuszki is at 838 m. Climbs are an everyday matter here, so an e-bike or scooter is essential.

The Zakopianka and new roundabouts

The DK47 leads into town, carrying on average about 21,000 vehicles a day (2020/21 count), and more in season. At the entrance, by ul. Kasprowicza, the junctions with ul. Wojdyły and Ustup were rebuilt as two roundabouts in 2024–2025. Trains end their run at Zakopane station.

A paid zone every day, 8–21

Since 2 December 2025, the central paid parking zone has operated every day, including weekends and holidays, from 8:00 to 21:00, in sub-zones A–D. Orange spaces are reserved for residents with a card.

Krupówki, Olcza, Gubałówka

Restaurants cluster around Krupówki, and the town stretches across more than 84 km², from Olcza and Krzeptówki to Kuźnice and Jaszczurówka. A cable railway climbs Gubałówka.

Ski jumping, folklore and snow

The Ski Jumping World Cup is held on the Wielka Krokiew every year, and in summer the International Festival of Highland Folklore takes place. Winter can bring heavy snow — about 60 cm in January 2023.

Questions about courier work in Zakopane

Which apps give you orders in Zakopane?
Glovo, Pyszne and Uber Eats (as of October 2026). Glovo has run here without slots since 5 October 2026. You can handle all three through one settlement partner.
How much can you earn as a courier in Zakopane?
You typically take home 25–55 zł an hour — that is after deductions, not gross. With Uber Eats in heavy rain or snow it can reach 60–80 zł/h. In Zakopane the time a run takes depends on the climbs and on traffic jams in season — an uphill run to Olcza or Gubałówka takes longer than one around the centre. See what you would keep in the earnings calculator.
Bike or scooter in Zakopane?
A scooter or an e-bike — an ordinary bike soon wears you out in a mountain town. In winter, with snow, a car is the safest.
What slows deliveries in Zakopane the most?
Jams on the Zakopianka in season, snow in winter and steep lanes on the slopes. In the centre the paid zone runs every day from 8:00 to 21:00.
When is Zakopane at its busiest?
During winter holidays, summer holidays and long weekends, when tourists come to town — orders then flow in all day and into the evening.
Where do I set up a delivery account in Zakopane?
You sign up online with a settlement partner: fill in a form, upload your documents and sign an umowa zlecenie (civil contract). The partner then activates you in the apps you choose — Uber Eats usually within 24–72 hours. In Zakopane, select Glovo, Pyszne and Uber Eats.
