About a sleigh ride
Being in winter in Zakopane, you must be on a real sleigh ride. We invite you to a real sleigh ride in the mountains. We organize a sleigh ride every day in the Chocholowska Valley, the longest valley in the Tatras, and one of the most beautiful Valleys in Europe.
Sleigh rides in Chocholowska are a real adventure, mountain setting, winter scenery, fairy tale atmosphere – stars in the sky, snowy trees around and the silence of the valley – there are no cars, streetlights, lights and city noise.
A sleigh ride from a fairy tale is a sleigh ride in the Chocholowska Valley – full of magic, silence, and tradition. Bells are ringing, snow is falling, and torches are blazing with fire – even though it is cold a warm the atmosphere and sweet tea are heating us!
Traditionally after the sleigh ride, we invite everyone to a bonfire feast with tasty catering and traditional Gooral music. We invite you and encourage you, for this is a unique offer for those who are looking for the best offer, not necessarily the cheapest.
Sleigh Ride in the Chocholowska Valley. Gooral folks will wait for you on the edge of a valley, welcoming you to take a sit in the sleigh. We put a yummy snack in every sleigh for your enjoyment during the one hour ride through Chocholowska Valley. After the sleigh ride, we gather around the bonfire, where we will have a traditional Gooral party. During the whole event, a real Gooral band will play music for you and tell you stories about the Tatra Mountains and many funny jokes in between.
The program includes – a warming welcoming with traditional Gooral music and dancing shows. You will have a chance to learn how to drink and sing like a true Gooral. DANCING AND GOOD FUN! The sleigh ride motto is “tradition, fun, dance and traditional Gooral music” – welcome!
During the party, there will be bonfire burning, and catering service will serve traditional Gazdovian cuisine. After two hours of pure fun, the party is over. For those willing, transfer by buses from Zakopane to Chocholowska and return after the event to Zakopane.
