After morning pickup at your Kraków accommodation, you will travel in a private vehicle to the Polish highlands, where old-fashioned wintertime traditions are still celebrated as part of local culture. When you arrive at a mountain town, trade in the car or minivan for a horse drawn sleigh. Bundle up and slip into a slower pace of life as you ride through the quiet and peaceful, snowy landscape with your family or friends. Along the way, keep an eye out for native wildlife in the trees and fields.
