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.

Technically easy route. Quite demanding in terms of condition because of the beginning of the red trail which is quite sideways and the flat part in the valley which is looooong. Beautiful views.
