Quick Actions
Tips & Advice
- Dress in multiple warm layers, including waterproof outerwear, as mountain weather can change rapidly. Don't forget warm, waterproof boots, a hat, and gloves for the sleigh ride and bonfire.
- If you are not opting for the transfer service, plan your arrival at the 'Pod Lasem' parking in Dolina Chochołowska at least 15 minutes before the scheduled start time to allow for parking and finding the meeting spot.
- Consider booking your tickets online in advance, especially during peak season, as winter sleigh rides are a highly sought-after attraction in Zakopane and tend to sell out.
- For groups of 3, 7, or 11 people, be aware that you may need to pay for an additional seat to ensure everyone has their own space in the 4-person sleighs.
- If you are concerned about snow conditions, rest assured that the event proceeds with horse-drawn carriages if sleighs are not possible, ensuring you still experience the charm of a winter ride.
