We're an established tour and transport operator based in Zakopane. We started out running transport services, and today organize trips, attractions and transfers across the region, tailoring every booking to what you actually need.
We pick you up from where you're staying in Zakopane and the Kościelisko municipality and take you to a New Year's Eve kulig in the Chochołowska Valley — four-person sleighs, lit with torches.
After the ride, a feast by the fire: a dish from the cauldron, kwaśnica (Highlander sauerkraut soup), sausage, grilled oscypek (smoked sheep's cheese), bread with lard, and mulled wine, with a live Highlander band. Tatra National Park entry tickets are included too.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if there's no snow?
If there isn't enough snow, we swap the sleighs for wagons — the ride still goes ahead.
Where do you pick us up?
We pick you up from your hotel or guesthouse in Zakopane or Kościelisko. Staying somewhere else? Just let us know, we can usually work something out.
Is the New Year's Eve sleigh ride suitable for children?
Yes, though it's a late, freezing night — the reduced ticket applies up to age 10, and it's worth dressing kids very warmly.
