Stożek Wielki (literally "big cone"), (Czech: Velký Stožek) is a mountain on the border of Poland and the Czech Republic, in the Silesian Beskids. It reaches a height of 978 meters.
The border can be crossed on the top, which is in easy range of the town of Wisła. It has a characteristic conical shape and on its slopes grow beech and coniferous trees.
Since 1922 there is a mountain touristic hut on the mountain (the oldest in the Silesian Beskids), built from the initiative of Polskie Towarzystwo Turystyczne "Beskid" (Polish Touristic Society "Beskid").
Through a number of hiking routes it is possible to reach other summits such as Kubalonka, Czantoria Wielka, Soszów Wielki and towns, down into Wisła, Wisła-Głębce, Istebna, Jaworzynka and Jablunkov (Jabłonków).
The so-called Main Route of the Beskids (Polish: Główny Szlak Beskidzki), the major hiking trail in the region, also crosses the top.
