The safety of mountain tourism and recreation have been assessed as positive, and mountain rescue services, which make a very important element of the system, operate in an effective manner. There are some objections, however, with regard to the way it is financed by the Minister of the Interior. The functioning of the system is hampered due to the lack of regulations that would allow for the execution of the requirement to provide safety conditions in organised ski areas. The condition of mountain trails is also of high importance, whose legal status and maintenance standards have not been regulated so far. The most important role is however played by tourists’ knowledge on how properly plan mountain trips and on how behave during such trips. Tourists must be aware of dangers that result from their activities and of potential consequences of their decisions.

Mountain tourism has lately become a more and more popular way of spending free time. One of the reasons for this is the constantly developing infrastructure. The Podhale Region and Tatra Mountains are very popular travel destination. However, the forms of tourism and the profile of a typical tourist have changed over the years. First, Zakopane had become a health resort, where it was hiking in the mountains which brought people here. Afterwards, it was artists coming here looking for the perfect atmosphere. Finally, it was a place to visit for skiing and cycling. The main goal of this research was to characterize the typical, contemporary, tourist visiting Zakopane and Tatra National Park. Finding out the profile of tourists will be helpful in understanding the visitors and, at the same time, it will pave the way for offering services which those visitors expect. This will have a positive influence on the development of tourism in the region, bringing benefits for both the tourists and the local community. During the research, the following methods and tools were used: a diagnostic survey and participant observation. The research took place in Zakopane and Tatra National Park in September 2013.
