Poland Ski Express: Tatra Slopes & Thermal Spa

This trip starts in Krakow. On the first day, we’ll meet at 17:00.

Your Group Leader will add you to the WhatsApp group for your trip about 15 days before departure.
It’s a great way to start getting to know your travel mates, receive more details about the first day’s meeting point, and ask any pre-departure questions you might have. If you expect to arrive later, let the coordinator know through the group: we’ll make the necessary arrangements so you can join without any issues.

This trip ends in Krakow. The trip officially ends at 12:00 on the last day, so we recommend planning your return transfers accordingly. For example:

• if you need to book a flight, consider the time needed to reach the airport and complete check-in procedures;

• if you need to book a train or continue your journey independently, consider the time required to reach the station or your next destination.

 If you have any doubts, you can contact the coordinator assigned to your departure for advice.

For this itinerary, traveling with a backpack is mandatory for logistical reasons and the convenience of the entire group - including yourself! Trolleys, bulky suitcases, or hard luggage are not allowed. The Travel Group Leader will provide guidance on the ideal baggage before departure via the WhatsApp group.

Return international flights are not included on our trips because we want to give you full autonomy and flexibility. You can choose your preferred airline, fly from the airport that works best for you, and decide how many stopovers you want to make along the way.

As flights are not included, you also have more flexibility with your travel dates: you could arrive at your destination a few days early or return home a bit later – or even continue independently to a nearby destination!

In some cases – for example when a departure is not yet confirmed and it is your first unconfirmed booking – you can book without paying the €/£/$100 deposit upfront.

This means that you can secure your spot at zero cost: nothing will be charged until the departure is confirmed. Once the departure is confirmed, the €/£/$100 deposit will be automatically charged within 48 hours according to the terms agreed at the time of booking.

Yes, in two ways:

1. From your personal area
Once you've booked, every WeRoader can add their flight details in their personal area, and the rest of the group can see them anonymously. Just log in, open your booking, and you'll find the section there. The more people fill it in, the easier it is for everyone to match up.

2. From the trip messages
Every departure has its own message space on the WeRoad website: the best place to ask your future travel mates directly, or to read what they've already written.

You don't need to have booked to join in. If you're still deciding, you can already ask who's going, when, and on which flight. You can get there from the departures list, from the trip page, or from your personal area once you're logged in.

Your Travel Coordinator is in the conversation too, so if you have a question about that specific departure, that's where you'll get an answer.

And if you can't find what you're looking for, just write to us and we'll share whatever information we have.

If a departure is “Open to book”, it means that the trip is not yet confirmed and we are waiting for a few more bookings… maybe yours!

The good news? If it’s your first booking on an unconfirmed departure, you can book without paying anything! Just. leave your credit card details as a guarantee: no immediate charge, €/£/$0 deposit.
In the meantime, wait for the departure to be confirmed before purchasing your round-trip flights!

Generally, our groups have an average of 11 people. Everyone on our trips speaks English, and travellers join us from across the US, UK, Europe and beyond. Our trips are open to travelers between 18 and 53 years old. The indicated age is meant to give you an idea of the type of group, but it's not a strict limit: it's possible to participate even with a few years more or less, as long as you can keep up with the pace and energy of the group you're traveling with.

Each group will be joined and led by one of our experienced Group Leaders, who’s there to ensure everything runs smoothly and the group feels well-supported. 

If you’d like to know more about our typical WeRoad groups do reach out to us on WhatsApp on +44 7716573700. 

Yes! If you're curious, you can take a sneak peek at the group before booking. 
You’ll find the info in the ‘Group’ section for each trip on the departures page, showing how many WeRoaders have already booked. 

Click the little arrow and you’ll even see their gender and ages – but hey, that’s exclusive info, so we’ll ask you to log in or sign up to see that!

For our trips we usually use locally owned accommodation instead of big hotel chains. It’s our favourite way to really experience the local culture and, whenever we can, support the local economy. Typically, you’ll stay in hotels, apartments, guesthouses and hostels with the same standard maintained across all trips in the same destination.

The list of accommodation for your trip will be shared with you by your Group Leader 2-5 days before departure, along with other useful details for your adventure!

For some trips, in the itinerary section, you’ll find the number of nights and the location (not the hotel) where you’ll be spending the night(s). The location shown is the one we usually go for on most trips, but in some cases, you might stay in a nearby town. This will depend on logistics or availability of accommodation. 

The list of accommodation for your trip (and therefore also the exact locations) will be shared by your Travel Group Leader 2-5 days before departure, along with other useful information for your adventure!

The WeRoad Travel Group Leader is an experienced and skilled traveler who will be the perfect companion for your trip. They will manage all the logistical aspects of the itinerary like transport, timings, accommodation, restaurant bookings and meeting points, so that you can enjoy the trip without this hassle. They’re there to support the group, ensure everything runs smoothly and will no doubt make the trip a lot of fun along the way too! 

The Group Leader will set up a WhatsApp group approximately 2 weeks before departure. This will be the moment to ask any pre-departure questions and get to know the rest of the group! If the trip you are interested in already has a Travel Group Leader assigned, you can contact them before booking. Their details will be on the trip page, or you can search for their name here. After booking, you will find their contact details in your My WeRoad account, under ‘Bookings and Trips’ > ‘Your Upcoming Trips’ > ‘Trip Details’.

When you set off on a WeRoad trip, you’re officially a WeRoader – and as we often say, 'once a WeRoader, always a WeRoader'. This means that once you’re part of the community, a little piece of WeRoad will always stay with you.

But you’re not just a WeRoader during your trips, far from it! The community is alive and active all year round: you can stay in touch by following and interacting on our social media channels, like the Facebook group or the Instagram profile. You can also come along to one of our many events that we run in different cities worldwide. Check out and sign up to our events by downloading the WeMeet app here. 

Yes, on all our trips you will share a room with other WeRoaders in your group. The bathroom will either be private or shared only with other travelers on the trip. The rooms might be twins, triples, quadruples or multi-share (up to 8 people in exceptional cases), depending on the destination and availability.

You will never share with people from outside of the WeRoad group, except in certain cases for local experiences, which are specifically mentioned in the itinerary or communicated before booking. These typically involve specific nights in unique accommodation like tents, homestays, or camping, offering a more adventurous travel experience in exchange for some comfort.

During the booking process, you can also choose to stay in a mixed-gender room. If needed, only travelers who have opted in to this option may share a room with travel companions of a different gender.

On some of our trips we can offer a private room for an additional cost. Just tick the ‘Private Room’ option at checkout to get this added. For some of our trips if you book as two travelers together you can add this private room free of charge. Look out for this option at checkout. 

Please note that if you do book a private room with a friend/partner this could be either a double or a twin room so please email hello@weroad.com if you have a preference on this.

Before traveling, always remember to check the government website of your country of origin for updates on the entry requirements for Poland – you wouldn’t want to stay home due to a bureaucratic detail!

Poland is in the Central European Time (CET) zone, which is UTC+1. During daylight saving time, it switches to Central European Summer Time (CEST), which is UTC+2.

If it is 12 pm in the UK, it will be 1 pm in Poland. If it is 12 pm in New York, USA, it will be 6 pm in Poland.

Daylight saving time in Poland typically starts on the last Sunday in March and ends on the last Sunday in October.

Poland uses the Polish Zloty (PLN) as its currency. The daily exchange rate can vary, but it's usually around:

• 1 GBP = 5.3 PLN
• 1 USD = 4.1 PLN

You can exchange currency at banks, exchange offices called kantor, or withdraw local currency from ATMs.

In Poland, you can pay using cash, credit cards, and mobile payments.

• Credit and debit cards like Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted, especially in cities.
• Mobile payments such as Apple Pay and Google Pay are also popular options.

However, it's a good idea to carry some cash for smaller shops or markets that might not accept cards. ATMs are readily available for withdrawing Polish złoty.

Tipping in Poland is appreciated but not strictly mandatory. In restaurants, it's common to leave around 10% of the bill if the service was good. In taxis, you can round up to the nearest whole number. For hotel staff, a small tip is a nice gesture for good service. Remember, tipping in cash is usually preferred, and it's best to hand it directly to the person you want to tip.

In Poland, internet access is generally quite good. If you're traveling from Europe or the Schengen area, you can use your roaming plan. However, if you're from outside these areas, buying a local SIM or e-SIM data plan could be a smart move for staying connected. Popular providers include Orange, Play, and T-Mobile.

Wi-Fi is widely available in most urban areas, with cafes, hotels, and restaurants often offering free Wi-Fi. Public places like shopping malls and train stations usually have it too, so you should find it easy to stay online during your trip.

In Poland, the official language is Polish. While traveling there, you might hear or use some useful colloquial expressions:

• Hello: Cześć
• Thank you: Dziękuję
• Please: Proszę
• Yes: Tak
• No: Nie

Knowing a few phrases can make your trip more enjoyable, as locals appreciate the effort!

In Poland, they use Type C and Type E plugs. The standard voltage is 230V, and the frequency is 50Hz. If your devices don't match these plug types, we suggest bringing a universal adapter to ensure your electronics can be charged.

Poland's main religion is Roman Catholicism, with the majority of the population identifying as Catholic. While Poland is predominantly Catholic, there are also small communities of other faiths, including:

• Protestant
• Orthodox
• Jewish communities

Important religious holidays in Poland include Christmas, Easter, and All Saints' Day. During these times, you may experience special events and traditions, which can be a unique cultural experience. Keep in mind that many shops and businesses might close or have reduced hours on these holidays.

For a trip to Poland, it's a good idea to pack for various weather conditions, especially if you'll be exploring different regions. Here's a handy list to help you prepare your backpack:

• Clothing:
  • Light layers for spring and fall
  • Warm sweaters and a winter coat for winter
  • T-shirts and shorts for summer
  • Raincoat or waterproof jacket
• Shoes:
  • Comfortable walking shoes
  • Waterproof boots for wet or snowy conditions
  • Sandals for warmer months
• Accessories and Technology:

  • Common travel medication, like motion sickness pills or pain relievers

Poland's weather can be unpredictable, so being prepared for different conditions will make your trip more enjoyable.

The weather in Poland can vary quite a bit depending on the region and time of year. Here's a general idea:

• Coastal areas: Mild summers and winters, with some rain. Summer temperatures average around 20°C.
• Central Poland: Warm summers around 25°C, cold winters that often drop below freezing.
• Mountains: Cooler with more snow in winter, great for skiing.

The best time to visit is late spring (May-June) and early autumn (September), when the weather is pleasant and crowds are smaller.
