Description

On this exciting hiking adventure, I will take you into the wild Beskids, just an hour's drive away from Krakow.

Despite the close proximity to the city, the Beskids are a nature haven with beautiful Carpathian forests to explore, and stunning views of the Tatras and other nearby mountain ranges. The lovely Beskids are uncrowded and unique due to their topography. They are often referred to as "islands" because the peaks are surrounded by deep valleys, and in the winter when there is temperature inversion and the fog and clouds cover the valleys, the peaks stand out spotting the whole landscape.

You can join this trek year-round and choose to extend it for more days. If you choose this option, depending on the route we choose to take, we can spend the night in a mountain hut or tent. The 1-day itinerary involves a 12km (5-6 hour) and an elevation gain of up to 700 m, therefore, a good fitness level is a must.

If you would like to take part in an amazing hiking adventure in the Beskids, contact me and we can start planning this exciting adventure together!

What people are saying about Pawel Wrobel

Declan Gallagher

February, 2023

This trip exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Pawel was a fantastic guide, very experienced and had an incredible knowledge of the geological features of the Gorce mountains and surrounding mountain ranges as well as the historical aspects of Polish history. As beginners to snowshoeing, Pawel was understanding and knowledgeable of the most suitable routes to take. In addition, at the beginning of the trip we presented Pawel with a problem which he resolved with empathy like a true gentleman. For that we were truly thankful. The whole trip was incredible. Memories created that we will never forget. Thank you so much!
