ZygZak Karting

ZygZak Karting lays out a multi-level covered track in Bielsko-Biała, an unusual format that adds texture to the driving with its climbs, descents and changes of level. You drive sheltered from the weather, on a layout that asks for tidy lines and rewards consistency rather than top speed alone. It is a spot built for family fun as much as for battling it out with friends.

The venue leans on a family-friendly mood and flexible organisation: online or phone booking, extended weekend slots and special events for children. The multi-level design genuinely changes the experience compared with a flat track, and it is a pleasure to string laps together to learn the layout. You come for the novelty of the concept and return for the lap time.

Bielsko-Biała, at the gateway to the Beskids, makes a fine base for mountain lovers: the resort of Szczyrk and its ski slopes are close by, and the hiking trails open up as soon as you leave town. The centre, nicknamed Little Vienna for its architecture, the Sułkowski castle and the cable cars to the peaks round off an outing that blends motorsport with the outdoors. The town is also the home of the famous Polish animation studio that brought to life characters known to several generations, and the nearby Żywiec lake invites swimming in summer.
