Overview

Top-rated day trip (4.9/5 from 12,000+ reviews). Ride the Gubałówka cable car, taste highlander cheese & local vodka, and enjoy a full 3 hours at Chocholow Thermal Baths — modern geothermal hot springs with outdoor thermal pools, slides, pool bars and unforgettable mountain views.

Your tour will begin with a pick-up from your hotel. During the journey to Zakopane, we have two amazing stops planned. Chochołów - one of the most beautiful villages in Southern Poland where you'll find the oldest houses inhabited by locals.

When we arrive at our destination - Zakopane, your guide will explain how to use the funicular car and provide you with all the necessary tickets, saving you time and avoiding the ticket office queues.

The thermal pools in Chochołów are one of the largest facilities of this kind in Poland. The health properties of the water have a positive impact on the skin and overall well-being. Pool bars allow for a moment of relaxation with a drink! See you on board!
