Tatra & Pieniny Mountains

The Tatra & Pieniny Mountains hold some of the highest and most beautiful peaks in Central Europe. Offering great summer walking, in winter the mountains here are transformed into an even wilder and more dramatic environment. Over the course of your week you’ll enjoy a variety of snowshoe treks. In the shadow of Mt Turbacz you’ll trek in this beautiful wilderness area.

Snowshoes

No longer the wooden ‘tennis rackets’ of old movies and story books, modern snowshoes are made of robust, lightweight materials, making them easy to put on and straightforward to use. Two trekking poles aid balance and away you go – into the deep white yonder!

Frozen Waterfalls & Cultural Highlights

Rest your limbs on a gentler day visiting some thermal pools and enjoying lunch with a local family. Snowshoe amongst frozen lakes to reach the 60-metre ice-encrusted Skakavitza waterfall – possibly the biggest icicle you’ll ever see! There is also time to visit some of Poland's cultural centres, Zakopane and Krakow.
