Enjoy a full-day trip to Zakopane, visit a traditional hut, taste regional delicacies, hop onto a cable car ride to Gubałówka, and explore Krupówki Street.

Escape to the Polish mountains for a day of adventure, relaxation, and Highlander traditions with round-trip AC coach transfers and an English-speaking tour lead.

Step into a traditional Bacówka to taste smoked sheep’s cheese (oscypek), sip Polish vodka, and learn about the centuries-old craft of Highlander cheesemaking.

Ride a glass-roofed cable car to the top of Gubałówka and take in sweeping views of the Tatra peaks before strolling through Zakopane’s charming streets.

Wrap up your day with a visit to Krupówki Street, where you can explore local shops or enjoy a warm mountain meal, before heading back to Krakow in a comfortable, air-conditioned coach.

Fun fact: Oscypek, the smoked sheep’s cheese you will taste here, is so special that it has PDO status, meaning it can only be made in the Tatra Mountains using traditional methods!

The time between arriving at Zakopane cable car and the return to Krakow is a bit too much because It is 2 hours Up at the hill plus 3 hours awaiting the people Who go to the termal bath - better in 2 groups if possible - the cheese factory is not a factory just a spot to taste a bit of cheese
