5 Aug -10 Aug 2025
We would like to invite you to an active week in stunning Beskidy mountains, during which you will primarily improve your skills in navigating various mountain bike trails, from less challenging to more demanding ones. We will guide you through well-known and official Enduro Trails in Bielsko and Szczyrk, host of UCI Downhill and Enduro World Cup in 2024, all under the supervision of experienced riders and trainers.
We will also explore “wild” unmarked trails in the area. In addition, we plan trips to biking trails in Wisła, and evenings filled with various forms of relaxation – from bonfires with local specialties and traditional drinks, through exploring Bielsko-Biała, known as “Little Vienna,” to relaxing in a SPA. We want to take you to Lake Żywieckie,
where you can work out different muscle groups on SUP boards or kayaks – during sunrise or sunset accompanied by yoga. Below is an outline of the program, which may be subject to slight modifications depending on the weather. For those starting their Enduro adventure, we offer a slightly different biking program than for more advanced riders. Of course, we will adjust the program, the order of attractions, the number of descents, and the difficulty level of biking trails according to your preferences and skills. Advanced participants can also take part in biking training sessions if they want to improve their skills in tackling more challenging trails, drops, gaps, root sections, or feel more confident in performing jumps. Go for it and discover the most popular network of gravity trails in the country.

Pick-up from the airport and straight to the trails. The first day is a warm-up day. The “training” group meets their instructor, with whom they have daily 2-hour training sessions from now on. Starts with the basics – getting to know the bike, adjusting the saddle, levers, seat post, to learning braking and correct turning in easy terrain. The advanced group starts with a warm-up at the pump track, where all muscles will be activated, and finish on easy trails at Kozia Górka – Stefanka (0.86km) and Twister (4.4km). During the break for lunch, there will be more descents – beginners will practice elements from the training, while advanced riders will go up Kozia (approx. 40 minutes uphill) and descend Twister. In the afternoon, relax, bonfire, discussion of the plan for the next day, and transfer to the accommodation.
After breakfast the training group starts with a review of basic elements and moves on to weight transfer, compression, and “pumping,” overcoming first turns in terrain, bumps, and irregularities. The advanced group takes the chairlift to Szyndzielnia and conquers a slightly more difficult downhill trail – Sahaira (1.74km) and/or Rock’and’Roll (6.2km), which leads to Kozia Górka. There, at the shelter, a short break and descent via Twister. Another ascent to Kozia Górka through a more difficult uphill trail, practicing climbing elements, overcoming rocks, roots, and tight turns. Descent via Stary Zielony (2.2km) – a more demanding red trail. Meanwhile, the training group descends Cyganka (1.65km) and Stefanka (0.86km), practicing the learnt downhill elements. Afternoon return to the accommodation to prepare for an unconventional yoga session on SUP boards by Lake Żywieckie.
After breakfast transfer from Bielsko to Szczyrk. Here, several kilometers of trails with various levels of difficulty await us, where to avoid uphill climbs – chairlifts are available. The beginner group, after a 2-hour training session on turning and overcoming more difficult turns and berms, meets the advanced group, and together, we ride to the shelter on Skrzyczne for lunch. Then, a joint descent on the blue trail Hip-Hop (7.9km). For those interested, a second chairlift ride and descent on Hip-Hop or a more challenging trail like Otik (2.85km) or Zbój (1.512km). In the afternoon, transfer to the accommodation, and in the evening, SPA and relaxation in saunas and jacuzzis in Wisła or closer to the accommodation – near Żywiec.
Today several options to choose from. If after 3 days of intense riding some want to take a break from the bike saddle – dedicate this day to hiking in Szczyrk along the Biały Krzyż-Malinowska Skała-Skrzyczne-Szczyrk route, from where on a beautiful day, you can see the Tatra Mountains in the distance. Another option is a few kilometers long e-bike trip along the Dębowiec-Szyndzielnia-Klimczok-Błatnia-Jaworze-Bielsko route. Advanced riders eager for more biking experiences can head to the “wild” trails in the Magurka range in Wilkowice, where after about a 1-hour ascent, awaits reward with descents on unmarked, unofficial trails. In the evening, a walk through the streets of Bielsko, a visit to the city brewery, dinner, and return to the accommodation.
This morning, those interested can go for a sunrise SUP or kayaking session. Then, transfer to Wisła for biking trails in Skolnity, where there are three routes of varying difficulty to choose from – Zielony Zygzak (Green Zig-zag) (4100m), Niebieska Fala (Blue Wave) (2800m), and Czerwona Strzała (Red Arrow) (1850m). Chairlift rides are available, so all energy can be focused on improving descents. The beginner group practices turning, pumping, and start tackling first difficult obstacles. Both groups meet at the top for lunch, and then descend together on the blue trail, followed by an optional visit to the saltwater jacuzzi and saunas at Hotel Gołębiewski in Wisła.Evening return to the hotel.
After breakfast transfer to the airport.

“We had an amazing time on our Polandmore tour. The team looking after us were incredibly friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. We were spoilt with trips to stunning locations in the mountains, breathtaking views at sunset and more. We had specified being keen to ski as well as explore and sight see. The team had this covered and organised everything to ensure we got the most out of our holiday. We truly had the most fantastic time discovering Poland and we look forward to our next Polandmore adventure”
I have been fortunate enough to have visited Poland twice. Both times were most enjoyable as you have so much choice of scenery, culture and food. The team have a vast amount of knowledge and are very careful to attend to all the details required to make for a most fun, comfortable and enjoyable holiday. The team all speak English which is extremely useful but you can master basic greetings in Polish if you want to. Would definitely recommend a guided tour in Krakow. Can’t wait for my next visit.”
“I had a wonderful time with polandmore on their winter adventure tour in January 2023. The company was very professional and friendly, and they took care of everything from transportation to accommodation. The itinerary was packed with fun and exciting activities, such as kulig (horse-drawn sleigh ride), sledging, and visiting a national park with breathtaking views. I also learned a lot about the Polish culture and history, which was very meaningful to me as my grandad was Polish. I highly recommend polandmore to anyone who wants to experience the beauty and charm of Poland in winter.”
“Our trip to Zakopane with Polandmore was simply superb!! Everything was organised and arranged to perfection, we could really relax and enjoy all the natural beauty Poland has to offer. The sleigh ride through the woods at night to a quiet spot to cook sausages was the highlight of the trip. Cannot recommend enough and cannot wait to go back for more adventures! Thank you to the whole team at Polandmore for a very memorable holiday!”
