Itinerary

Stop 1

Passing by

.
Tatras Mountains (Tatry)

2 hours Admission included

After morning pickup at your Kraków accommodation, you will travel in a private vehicle to the Polish highlands, where old-fashioned wintertime traditions are still celebrated as part of local culture. When you arrive at a mountain town, trade in the car or minivan for a horse drawn sleigh. Bundle up and slip into a slower pace of life as you ride through the quiet and peaceful, snowy landscape with your family or friends. Along the way, keep an eye out for native wildlife in the trees and fields.
Zakopane

Passing by

Zakopane is known as the capital of the Polish mountains. Its stunning alpine scenery and priceless views from up high attract tourists year-round. Zakopane is also well worth a visit because of the great ski jump Wielka Krokiew, Jaszczurówka Church, Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima, and Pęksowy Brzyzek cemetery. We additionally climb to Gubałówka, with its funicular railway and alpine slide, for a little mountaintop adventure!
