What to expect

This is one of the most extraordinary ways to experience the Tatra Mountains — and one of the most unique air tours in Poland. A 30-minute scenic flight from Nowy Targ airfield takes you along the entire Tatra mountain range, giving you and up to two fellow passengers a bird's-eye view of the highest peaks in Poland and the Podhale region below.

Your pilot guides the aircraft along the ridge, pointing out the most recognisable summits — Rysy, Giewont, Kasprowy Wierch — as well as Zakopane's most famous landmarks, valleys, and lakes from an angle most people never get to see. The flight covers the border area of the Tatra National Park, offering a sweeping perspective that simply can't be matched from any trail or viewpoint on the ground.

Whether you're visiting Zakopane for the first time or you've hiked every trail in the Tatras, seeing the mountains from above is an unforgettable experience. The flight operates year-round, and each season transforms the landscape entirely — snow-covered peaks in winter, green meadows in summer, golden forests in autumn.

The actual flight time is approximately 25–35 minutes depending on weather conditions. The aircraft is equipped with heating and a sealed cabin so you are comfortable in any season.

Fantastic! I highly recommend it. A 40-minute motor glider flight – the Gorce Mountains, Pieniny Mountains, and Lake Czorsztyn. Superb organization; despite the unpredictable weather, the crew and pilots never gave up. As soon as the conditions improved, we took to the air. I had the opportunity to fly with Piotr – a first-class pilot! He explained everything step by step, explained everything, and answered my questions. Everything was under complete control, and I felt completely comfortable and safe. Thank you so much! Greetings to the lovely ladies at the office! 😉
