It lies in the Sudetes in two mountain ranges - the Golden Mountains and the Śnieżnik Massif, approximately 20 kilometres (12 mi) south-east of Kłodzko, and 88 kilometres (55 mi) south of the regional capital Wrocław. As of 2019, the town has a population of 5,572.
In 1949–1950 Greeks and Macedonians, refugees of the Greek Civil War, were temporarily admitted in Lądek-Zdrój, before new homes were found for them in other towns.[2]
Each year, the town is host to the Andrzej Zawada mountain film festival.
