Description

Escape Krakow for a full-day adventure into the heart of the Polish Tatra Mountains. This carefully designed Zakopane tour combines culture, breathtaking views, delicious regional specialties, and the option to add a thrilling off-road experience — making it the perfect winter or summer day trip. Your journey begins in Chocholow, a beautifully preserved wooden village famous for its traditional highlander architecture. As you walk between charming timber houses and handcrafted details, you will feel as if time has stopped. Learn the story of locals who still maintain unique Podhale traditions, and take wonderful photos in one of the most authentic mountain villages in Poland. Next, continue to the lively mountain town of Zakopane, known as the capital of the Polish Tatra region. Visit a local market full of handmade souvenirs and try regional snacks like smoked oscypek cheese. You will have free time to enjoy the atmosphere, explore Krupowki Street, and discover the artistic side of Zakopane. Then, board the Gubalowka funicular, a must-do attraction offering spectacular panoramic views of the Tatra Mountains. Once at the top, admire sharp peaks, deep valleys, and fresh mountain air — the perfect moment to take unforgettable photos and appreciate the beauty of Poland’s highest mountain range. In the afternoon, relax at a traditional highlander bonfire — and yes, it is already included in the experience. Warm up by the fire with unlimited hot drinks and regional snacks, such as grilled sausage or local cheese. It is a cozy and social moment where travelers can truly feel the mountain lifestyle. For those who want to elevate the adventure even more, there is the option to upgrade with a guided off-road ride (additional cost paid on-site). Depending on the season and snow conditions, this can be either a quad or a snowmobile ride. Your instructor will provide equipment and safety introduction before leading you along forest paths and scenic trails. It’s a guaranteed boost of excitement and a highlight for thrill seekers. Throughout the day, an English-speaking driver-guide will be there to assist you, share interesting insights about the region, and make sure everything runs comfortably. With hotel pickup and drop-off included, you can simply relax and enjoy the experience from start to finish. This tour is perfect for travelers who want to see more than just Zakopane.
