    Tips

    The Chochołowska Valley is the largest and longest valley in Poland’s Tatra Mountains, stretching 10 kilometers. Known for its scenic beauty, it features dense spruce forests, alpine meadows, and a deep gorge with dramatic narrows. Popular for hiking and cycling, the main trail leads to the PTTK Mountain Shelter on the Chochołowska Clearing. In spring, the valley transforms into a vibrant sea of crocuses, drawing many visitors. It also preserves its shepherding heritage, with traditional cheese-making still practiced.

      Nice easy walk with dog allowed (to the shelter)

        A long and monotonous valley, but often covered in crocuses in spring.
