This program is dedicated for all of those who would like to give the adventure of rock climbing a try. Both total beginners but also those who have already tried some rock climbing and would like to develop their abilities are invited. During the two days spent with a professional climbing instructor you will not only take your first steps on the rocks but also have a chance to develop your technique if you’ve already tried climbing before. You will also get to know how to climb safely, how to properly wear and use the climbing gear and how to belay your climbing partner.
All in the serene, chilled atmosphere that the jurrassic limestone rocks surrounding Kraków has to offer. Of course, as „The Kraków Valleys” Natural Park is situated only 20 km from the city center, you cannot pass up an opportunity to see the town! We invite you for a little tour with a professional Kraków guide who will show you some hidden gems of this beautiful city. Don’t worry about the weather! If it’s not on our side, there are many indoor climbing walls in Kraków where we can have as much fun as in the rocks!

Check in at the apartments/hotel in the city center.
Evening walk to Kazimierz, district of Kraków and a chance to test the best polish pizza bread in town.
Hearty breakfast and short transfer to the Landscape Park „Kraków Valleys”, where the rock climbing adventure starts. Meeting with the professional instructor and introductory climbing tips: how to be safe in the rocks, what kind of gear to use, what to wear, how to belay, how to warm up and finally… how to start climbing! Put first steps into practise in the rocks. In the meantime, break for a picnic!
After the whole day of getting familiar with the rocks and climbing techniques, time for a bonfire and frying some delicious polish sausages. Transfer back to the accomodation.
After another hearty breakfast, short transfer to the climbing spot, chosen by our Polandmore instructor. Full day of climbing and belaying practice. Depending on your level of ability and what you are up for trying, you can practice top rope climbing or you can also try lead climbing. Of course, we cannot forget about the importance of fuel, so there is also a picnic planned for today.
Farewell dinner in „Forum Przestrzenie” – a well known place among Kraków citizens and students, followed by visiting our favourite pubs in Kraków.
Transfer to the airport depending on your departure flight.

“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!”
