Gubalowka

Being in Zakopane, it is absolutely necessary to take the cable car to the top of Gubałówka (1123 m asl). A modern car with a glass roof allows the railway to climb upwards, wonderfully admiring the evident multi-storey arrangement of the Tatra vegetation with the peaks of high mountains in Poland.There are many attractions at the top, most of all, a wonderful panorama of the Tatra Mountains, an uninterrupted view of the mountain Zakopane located at the foot of the mountain and the possibility of relaxing in the sunshine.On 06.10 - 10.10 the Gubałówka cable car will be closed due to maintenance work. Instead, our tour will travel as high as possible by car and take a short walk to the viewpoint. As a compensation, our guests will receive a lunchbox of their choice, at our expense and in addition there will be a mulled wine tasting. We will contact you via WhatsApp or email before the tour to discuss your preferred lunchbox.
