Warsaw Chopin Airport is Poland's main international airport, and groups arriving from further afield often land there even when their destination is the mountains. Ski clubs, school winter camps, hiking groups and companies holding retreats in Zakopane all use this transfer. The coach covers about 393 km in about 6 h 25 min, with one mandatory break.
The length of Poland, north to south
From the airport the coach heads south through central Poland, passes the Kraków area and climbs through the Podhale region to Zakopane at the foot of the Tatras. The whole route is in Poland, so there is no border to cross, and the coach pays the motorway tolls. Because the driving takes more than 4.5 hours, the driver takes a 45-minute break, usually around the middle of the journey.
Long-haul arrival and ski kit
Groups landing after a long flight benefit from a single vehicle with a WC, a coffee machine and air conditioning. A morning or midday landing brings everyone to Zakopane in the evening. Include the flight number in your enquiry and the pick-up follows any delay. Skis, snowboards, boot bags and suitcases up to 30 kg each all go in the hold. One coach for 49 to 53 passengers keeps a whole group together for the full six hours.
Our coaches are based in Poprad, Slovakia, close to Zakopane, so the quote includes driving up to Warsaw for the pick-up. During the stay the same coach can take the group across to the Slovak Tatras; see Poprad to Zakopane. For the rules on breaks, read coach driver hours.
