Description

Are you looking for an exciting winter adventure? Then you need to come and join me on this Ski touring for beginners in the Polish Tatras.

The Polish Tatras is a beautiful area located in the south of the country. It’s the natural border between Poland and Slovakia and a perfect spot to start discovering the huge world of skiing outside the traditional ski resorts and discover the mountains from a new perspective.

So I’ve designed this 2-day program for beginners, so I can show you the first steps of this exciting winter activity.

On the first day you’ll learn how to properly use the gear: How to set up the skins, get to know the ski bindings systems and most important how to use the avalanche safety set. This activity will be done in the Kondratowa Valley or some other spot with an easy access and a mellow descent, so you can practice without any inconvenience.

Then on the second day we’ll go out for a fun but not to demanding ski touring excursion through the Western Tatras. It could be on the slopes of the Red Hills or around the Chocholowska Valley.

So if you want to start learning the basics of a new discipline that will allow you to get to places you only dreamed about, send me a request and lest start planing this Ski touring tour for beginners in the Polish Tatras.

And if you want to try another kind winter expedition in this area, please also check my Zakopane guided snowshoeing day tours.

What people are saying about Helena

great day, Helena is a legend!

Really great experience doing a snowshoe hike in the Tatra mountains - I was fortunate enough to have sunny weather after a few days of light snow so conditions were amazing. I just did it on my own and Helena was super accommodating and made small changes to the route on the fly to make things more interesting. To be clear if you book this experience you are booking a professional mountain guide so the route they take you on can easily be adjusted to your group requirements and where to go for best conditions . Helena was extremely knowledgeable of the area - both in terms of her knowledge of the local trail networks and in chatting to me about the history, culture and geography of the Tatra mountains as we progressed along the hike. The route we went on was about 400m elevation (which I was comfortable doing) and the view from the summit was incredible. Would definitely recommend the experience if you want a great way to explore and view the Tatra mountains

Helena was a super personal guide for the tour. She aligned the trip to our wish (e.g. starting time, finishing nearby the thermal pool) and made a wonderful day for us. Guiding just the two of us made the whole trip very personal and flexilbe which we recommend for others as well. Thank you.

We really liked snowshoeing. Guide was wonderful, snowshoeing wasn’t easy but view was amazing. I really recommend that’s experience!

Helena was an amazing guide. She was knowledgeable, patient and friendly. Would highly recommend Helena. She was very kind throughout the trip and helped us out quite a bit in the huts where English is more limited. The Tatras are beautiful. The hike was strenuous, especially with the constant rain for two days but despite the weather we still had a great time.
