Additionally, popular equipment for self-learning includes penguin-shaped walkers. The mentioned ice rinks have popular “penguins,” but you need to ask for a reservation at a specific time in advance.
Skiing or snowboarding by the sea? Sounds abstract, but it is not. There are several great ski slopes near Gdańsk. Przywidz, Wieżyca, and Łysa Góra in Sopot are just some of the places where you can ski or snowboard. Even if you are a beginner, you will find equipment rentals and ski schools on-site.

For families with children, there are special trails known as “baby hill” where the youngest can take their first steps on skis.
