Book Direct, Talk to Real People

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 ride with one horse, four people per sleigh, about six kilometers down the valley and back. After the ride, we stop at a bonfire — sausage, bigos (hunter's stew), bread, cold cuts, hot tea, and mulled wine for adults.

Blankets are provided, but bring your own hat and warm boots: at −10°C, the sleigh gets cold faster than you'd think.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if there's no snow?

We usually run this from mid-December to early March, but every winter is different. If there isn't enough snow, we swap the sleighs for traditional wagons — the ride still goes ahead. We check conditions the morning of your trip and call you by 10:00 if anything changes.

What if we're a group of 3 or 7?

The sleighs seat 4 people. With a group of 3 or 7, one seat is left empty — it needs to be booked and paid for separately (70 PLN).

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 sleigh safe for kids?

Yes, families with small children ride with us regularly. We recommend warm clothing — the sleigh gets cold faster than it seems.
