Schedule of the event
Pick-up and transfer
Our minibus picks guests up at an agreed stop. We guarantee pick-up in Zakopane, Olcza, Kościelisko and Pardałówka. On the day of the ride we call to confirm the exact time and pick-up place.
Sleigh ride (about 1 hour)
After welcoming the guests we take our seats on the sleighs. The torchlit ride follows the Gubałówka ridge, and warm blankets wait on the sleighs. When there is no snow, horse-drawn wagons (fasiągi) for 10 or 12 people replace the sleighs, and the route leads through the village of Ząb to the viewpoint at Furmanowa. We describe the place on the page sleigh ride on Gubałówka.
Highlander feast (about 1 hour)
After the ride a bonfire and a Highlander feast with a live band await. The food is unlimited: sausage to roast yourself, country bread with lard, homemade bigos, hot tea with a shot of spirit and mulled wine. Children get tea with raspberry juice and lemon. Guests also get a free tasting of Highlander cheeses and regional spirits.
Finish and return
After the feast the minibus takes guests back to the stop where it picked them up.
