Best Horse-Drawn Sleigh and Carriage Rides — Our Top 4

1.Zakopane Gubałówka Hill: Horse Sleigh Ride with local music

★★★★★★★★★★3.6 · 42 reviews · 3 hours · from $81Our pick

Travel from Zakopane to Ząb, Poland’s highest village, for a one-hour sleigh ride with blankets and Tatra views. Then warm up in a heated wooden szałas with live Highlander music, bigos, fire-roasted sausage, mulled wine, and tea. The ride switches to a wheeled carriage if snow is poor.

“This is a great experience. The views and horse sleigh ride were amazing, breath taking Mountain views and magical winter scenes. The food and local music were a great insight into local culture. Definitely worth the trip out. The bus driver was really stressed and hurrying around. Otherwise it would be a 5 star all round. Understandable to a degree due to time constraints and traffic jams.”

3.VIP Chochołowska Valley Horse Sleigh from Zakopane

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 13 reviews · 3 hours · from $89

You’ll take a minibus from Zakopane to Chochołowska Valley for a one-hour sleigh ride, or horse-drawn carriage ride when snow is poor. The evening ends at a highlander bonfire with live folk music and unlimited bigos, grilled sausage, bread with lard, pickles, mulled wine, and tea. English support is advertised, but activity instructions may be mainly in Polish.

“The tour was absolutely fantastic and worth the money, only issue was nobody spoke english, although we booked an english guide. Our only luck was that I speak slovak so I kind of understood the instructions on where and when to get on the bus back to Zakopane!”
