Description
Leave the city behind and spend a magical day in the mountains! Ride a horse, grill cheese, and take in epic views from the Gubałówka cable car. All with your own private car & personal driver.
Get ready for a dreamy day in the Polish mountains—perfect for nature lovers and adventure seekers! Your private driver will pick you up from your hotel in Kraków for a scenic ride to Zakopane. First, you’ll visit a traditional shepherd’s hut (bacówka), where you’ll grill and taste fresh Highlander cheese (oscypek) with cranberry sauce.
Next, saddle up for a 1.5–2 hour horseback ride through rivers, meadows, and forest paths. No experience? No worries—an instructor and pre-ride training are included, so even first-timers can enjoy.
Then, hop on the Gubałówka cable car for stunning views of the Tatra Mountains. In summer, enjoy shops, local eats, and a huge slide. In winter, the mountain sparkles with magical light displays.
You’ll also have free time to explore Krupówki Street—Zakopane’s charming town center filled with wooden houses, souvenir stands, cafés, and mountain vibes.
After a full day of exploring, your driver will take you back to Kraków in comfort, with snacks and drinks waiting in the car.
Optional: You can extend the tour from 8 to 10 hours for more time in Zakopane!
