At Zakopane we got to spend 2.5 hrs riding the cable car to view the stunning Tetra mountains....wow.

We had time to explore the town and enjoy the atmosphere before heading to the thermal baths, which were the highlight of the day.

14.From Krakow Snowmobile with Thermal Pools and Hotel Pickup

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 368 reviews · 9 to 10 hours (approx.) · from $28

Snowmobile or quad through the Tatra Mountains, then soak in Chocholowskie Termy thermal pools with Kraków hotel pickup and local cheese.

“The whole day was extremely organised, amazing tour guide with great knowledge. We ended up doing quads due to weather but after speaking to the instructors at the centre this seemed the better option as they explained snowmobiles are significantly harder to drive and there’s a lot of stopping because of this. They provided all protective footwear including wellies. We also went to an alternate thermal baths due to renovations, but I have to say this baths was amazing they had multiple smaller pools and it was relatively quiet. If you are thinking of booking I’d definitely recommend!”
