  • Dress warmly in layers, including a hat, gloves, and scarf, as winter in the Tatras can be very cold, especially in the evenings.
  • Book your tickets online in advance, as this popular winter activity often sells out.
  • If you are part of a group of 3, 7, or 11 people, you must pay for an extra empty seat in the sleigh for your group to ensure comfort.
