Beskid Sądecki with children - attractions for the whole family

The Sądecki Beskids are a wonderful destination for a family trip. Gentle climbs, cable cars to soothe tired legs, and spa promenades make the mountains friendly even for children. Here are some tried-and-true ideas for a family day out.

Gondola lift to Jaworzyna Krynicka

The gondola ride from Czarny Potok to the summit of Jaworzyna Krynicka (1,114 m above sea level) is an experience in itself. Children love the ride in the cabin above the forest, and from the summit, the whole family can admire the panoramic views of the Beskid Mountains without strenuous walking.

Parkowa Mountain in Krynica

You'll ascend Parkowa Mountain (742 m above sea level) on a historic funicular railway dating back to 1937—a historic experience and a whole lot of fun. At the summit, a rope park, toboggan runs, and slides await. This is one of the most family-friendly destinations in the region.

Sensory Gardens in Muszyna

The gardens in Muszyna are divided into sensory zones—smell, touch, taste, sound, and sight. This space is designed to allow children to experience nature through experience. A reconstructed castle hill is also nearby.

Gentle trails to start with

Short, well-marked walking trails around spa towns—like those in Krynica, Muszyna, and Piwniczna-Zdrój—are ideal for families. They allow you to experience the thrill of mountain hiking without overloading the little ones.

Promenade and pump room

A stroll along Krynica's promenade is a great way to spend a lazy afternoon. Kids can sample the mineral water at the pump room (the taste can be surprising!), while parents relax with a coffee in one of the historic cafés.

In the snow in winter

The region's ski resorts—Jaworzyna Krynicka, Wierchomla, and Słotwiny Arena—have gentle slopes and ski schools perfect for beginners. They're a great place for the whole family to take their first descent.

Beskid Sądecki proves that the mountains can be a family adventure – just adapt the plan to the abilities of the youngest ones.
