WITOW and CHOCHOLOW. Useful information about the villages Witow and Chocholow.

Witów and Chocholow are two Podhale villages located on the route from Zakopane to Slovakia. In Witów there is the entrance to the beautiful Chocholowska Valley and the Witow ski center with a chairlift and a snow park. Just between Witów and Chocholow are located wonderful thermal pools, Chocholowskie Termy. Chocholow, on the other hand, is a beautiful, tiny village called a living open-air museum. You can see here almost 100 highlander cottages built at the end of 19th or beginning of the 20th century and still used by the village inhabitants. Accommodation in guest houses in Chocholow check here and Witow check here is cheaper than in Zakopane. Below I present practical information for tourists planning holidays in Witow or Chocholow:

Chocholow and Witow has no direct connection to Krakow or Katowice. When planning a stay in one of these villages, you can come by bus or train to Zakopane (how to get to Zakopane ), and then go to Chocholow or Witow by local minibus or taxi. You can also order direct transport from the airport (check here ) or rent a car at the airport (check here ) I recommend this option.
Getting around Chocholow and Witow - in my opinion, when planning a stay in one of these villages, it is worth having a car (your own or rented).
