Poland is perhaps still best known for its cultural heritage, but outside of the more famous destinations lies a world of peaceful mountains, rolling white landscapes, high mountain passes and fabulous panoramas. The Beskidy and Peininy mountain ranges on the border with Slovakia are the focus of a week of snowshoeing. Snowshoes offer the perfect way to explore the national parks and ascend the peaks en route during the winter months..

Day 4 Slovakian border Continuing on from your pension, climb the mountain ridge along the border from Slovakia before returning to Jaworki in the evening. Day 5 Mt Turbacz The highest mountain in the region, Mt Turbacz (1,310m) is today's goal. The climb is steady, crossing Borek Pass before reaching the plateau of Turbacz - another spot with splendid views of the rugged Tatra Mountains.
Insider's view
Snowshoeing is an experience unlike any other, I had not tried anything like this before, but it was great fun and harder than it looks! The views across the mountains all covered in snow are spectacular and it's fascinating to pass through small villlages and towns as you are walking. James Ingham - Marketing Manager
