Winter sleigh ride and summer horse-drawn carriages in Chocholowska Valley
We invite you to enjoy our range of sleigh rides in Zakopane and the surrounding areas.
Below are examples of winter sleigh rides and summer horse-drawn carriage rides in Zakopane:
1) Sleigh or Horse-Drawn Carriage Ride in Zakopane, with a Traditional Highlander Feast
Our journey begins at your hotel or guesthouse in Zakopane. Depending on the group size, we provide the necessary number of sleighs or carriages. Each sleigh or carriage can accommodate up to 4 people. The ride takes you through the charming streets of Zakopane, passing some of the town’s most iconic spots, such as the ski jump area, on the way to a local restaurant or other selected location, where a Highland-style feast will await.
For evening rides, each sleigh or carriage is equipped with a torch to create a magical atmosphere. We can also prepare local snacks (such as bread with lard, oscypek cheese, regional sausages, and a bottle of local alcohol) for your enjoyment.
The ride lasts approximately 45 minutes, depending on the weather and horses. In winter, if the roads in Zakopane’s center are clear, we may substitute sleighs with carriages on wheels, unless fresh snowfall allows a sleigh ride through town.
Optional Group Experience – Horse Wagon Ride
For a more interactive experience, we can arrange a larger horse wagon instead of individual sleighs or carriages, accommodating 8 to 12 people in one wagon.
Highlander Feast in a Traditional Tavern
Our chosen regional tavern will be prepared for your arrival, complete with a Highlander folk band to welcome your group and serve regional welcome drinks. A hearty feast with abundant food and drinks will continue late into the evening, all set around the warmth of an open hearth for a memorable night.

2) City Sleigh Ride / Horse-Drawn Carriage Ride Combined with an Outdoor Party by the Fire
We organize a sleigh ride or horse-drawn carriage ride as described above, but this time, the destination is a scenic clearing (a picnic spot) where we will prepare a bonfire for you. Enjoy traditional sausages, or, if you prefer, a whole roasted pig or lamb.
Additional options in the clearing include:
- A Highlander folk band for live entertainment
- Integration activities in the form of a party with Highlanders or “Highlander robbers”
Your group will then return to the hotel either by sleigh, horse-drawn carriage, coach, or bus, depending on your preference.

3) Sleigh Ride / Horse-Drawn Carriage Ride in the Chochołowska Valley
We believe this is the best way to experience a sleigh ride or horse-drawn carriage ride – set outside the city in the peaceful beauty of nature. The Chochołowska Valley is the only location in the Tatras where sleigh rides can be organized even after dark. The valley’s magical atmosphere, stunning views, and tranquility make this sleigh ride a truly unforgettable experience.
As part of this excursion, we will pick you up from your hotel or guesthouse in Zakopane or the surrounding area and take you to the starting point of Chochołowska Valley, where your sleighs or horse-drawn carriages will be waiting.
You can choose from two ride options:
- Shorter ride – to Polana Huciska (Clearing) – duration: approximately 1 hour
- Longer ride – to Polana Chochołowska (Clearing) – duration: approximately 2-2.5 hours
Included with the sleigh ride or horse-drawn carriage:
- Torches for added atmosphere
- Optional regional snacks: bread with lard, cucumbers, oscypek cheese, local sausage, and a bottle of local drink
- Optional warm beverages: thermoses with tea, Highlander’s tea, or mulled wine
At the end of the ride, guests are invited to a bonfire, which can be arranged outside the Forester’s Lodge, or enjoy a dinner at the Leśniczówka Tavern.
