CARBON REDUCTION

Embracing a sustainable travel approach, our emphasis is on reducing air travel by facilitating local transportation options such as buses and cars for swift transfers between destinations.

Accommodations in Zakopane, Sromowce Nizne, Szczawnica, and Krakow all leverage renewable energy sources, serving to substantially decrease carbon emissions.

In addition, shared local transportation, including buses, feature throughout the trip, functioning to reduce the CO2 emission - an eco-friendly alternative to private travel. Moreover, a significant portion of the itinerary revolves around human-powered transportation with daily hikes ranging from 3-5 hours.

ENVIRONMENT AND WILDLIFE

The remarkable travel expedition also encompasses visits to UNESCO-listed sites, such as the Dunajec gorge, fostering a culture of biodiversity protection and restoration.

All lodgings throughout the trip are firmly committed to environmental preservation, with policies directed at waste reduction, recycling, and tapping into renewable energy resources.

Moreover, the inclusion of entry fees to Parks and Protected Areas in the trip expenses contributes to their upkeep and preservation. We are dedicated to promoting responsible tourism, providing invaluable information to customers on minimizing their environmental footprint.

We benefit the environment and local community by donating 1% of each trip's price to various sustainability causes. This small step reaffirms our dedication to a more sustainable and eco-conscious future.
