Itinerary

Ready to swap the crowded, overpriced Alps for something wilder and warmer? Poland Ski Express: Tatra Slopes & Thermal Spa is our fresh 5-day winter escape based in Zakopane, Poland's buzzing mountain capital at the foot of the High Tatras. We start and end in Kraków, then settle into Zakopane for four nights of snow, steam and góral soul. By day we carve the modern, snow-sure pistes of Białka Tatrzańska and ride the cable car to the high-alpine drama of Kasprowy Wierch, all on a single Tatry Super Ski pass. By night we warm up in Poland's legendary thermal baths, wander the wooden lanes and lively bars of Krupówki, and feast on hearty mountain food and oscypek cheese. Whether you're a first-timer finding your ski legs or an intermediate chasing fresh lines, this trip blends snow, spa and après into an affordable, unforgettable winter adventure — the Alps' characterful, wallet-friendly cousin. Join us for skiing with a side of steam.

From Kraków to the Tatras

Our adventure kicks off in Kraków, where we'll hop on our transfer south to Zakopane, Poland's buzzing winter capital at the foot of the High Tatras. As the city melts away into snow-dusted peaks and wooden chalets, we'll feel the mountain mood take over. We'll check into our base for the next four nights, drop our bags, and get ready to explore Poland's most characterful ski town together.

Krupówki Welcome Walk & Góral Dinner

Tonight we'll wander the lively Krupówki promenade, the beating heart of Zakopane, lined with wooden architecture, buzzing bars and sizzling grill stalls. We'll gather for our first group get-together to meet the group and map out the snow-filled days ahead, then tuck into a hearty traditional góral dinner — think grilled oscypek cheese and warming mountain fare — to toast the start of an unforgettable trip.

Ski Day at Białka Tatrzańska

Today we'll hit Białka Tatrzańska, the region's modern flagship resort and the perfect place to find our rhythm on the snow. With well-groomed, snow-sure pistes, fast lifts and terrain for every level, there's something for everyone — beginners can take an optional lesson to find their feet, while intermediates will love opening up on the wider slopes. We'll ski, we'll lunch mountainside, and we'll make the most of every run, before heading back to Zakopane for dinner and drinks. Warm water, snowy mountain views and good company — it's the perfect way to round off our first day on the snow.

Skiing Kasprowy Wierch

Today we'll aim high: a cable-car ride up Kasprowy Wierch, the Tatras' iconic high-alpine peak, rewards us with long natural-snow runs and jaw-dropping panoramas across the Polish and Slovak mountains. Fancy something a little mellower? Our pass also covers Harenda and Szymoszkowa right in Zakopane, so we'll split by level and make sure everyone skis their perfect day, all smiles by the end of it.

Our Choice: Extra Ski or Spa & Town

Today is ours to shape however we like. We can chase one more glorious day on the snow (an extra Tatry Super Ski day is easy to add), or swap our skis for Zakopane's cafés, spa and góral culture — riding the Gubałówka funicular for sweeping views, browsing the Krupówki, or simply steaming and unwinding. Whatever we choose, it'll be a brilliant way to soak up the last of the mountains.

Farewell Góral Feast

Tonight we'll come together for a proper farewell dinner in a traditional karczma (mountain inn): roaring fire, live folk music, hearty Tatra cooking and a final round of toasts. It's the perfect send-off — celebrating the snow, the steam and the friendships we've made along the way.

Transfer to Kraków & Departure

After one final mountain breakfast, we'll transfer back to Kraków, where our snowy adventure comes to a close. We'll say our goodbyes, swap photos and start plotting the next one — and anyone with time to spare can extend their stay to explore Kraków's beautiful Old Town before heading home. Do widzenia, Tatras — until next time!
