Weekend with Santa Claus in the Silesian Beskids: plan the winter magic now.
Although we are still in the middle of autumn, it's already worth thinking about winter relaxation and a family Weekend with Santa Claus. The Silesian Beskids is slowly preparing for the arrival of the snowy season, and hotels are beginning to feature the first subtle accents announcing the approaching time of holiday joy. This is the perfect moment to plan a meeting with Saint Nicholas, which can become a unique experience for both children and adults.
Where did Santa Claus come from? A short story that adds magic.
The figure of Saint Nicholas originates from early Christian tradition. Nicholas was the bishop of Myra (present-day Turkey) living at the turn of the 3rd and 4th centuries. He is remembered as the protector of the poor, children, and sailors, known for his discreet charity. Many legends are connected with his biography: about gifting dowries to poor maidens or miraculously saving sailors on a stormy sea. The custom of giving presents on the night of December 5th to 6th refers to his liturgical commemoration and remains alive in many countries to this day.
Over the centuries, the image of Nicholas has evolved. The former bishop in a mitre and holding a crosier has gained a more secular character in popular culture; a warm red Santa Claus suit, fluffy beard, and pompom hat. Although the contemporary image is more fairy-tale like, the core traditions remain kindness, goodwill, and selfless joy of giving.
Why plan winter during autumn?
Autumn in the mountains is a quieter time for booking, making it easier to get the best rooms, more attractive packages, and to fine-tune the details of a family trip. By choosing your stay “for Saint Nicholas Day” now, you gain the comfort of planning and the certainty of participation in the most popular activities (such as meeting Santa Claus or workshops for children), which sell out quickly.
Silesian Beskids in winter: a natural setting for holiday experiences.
The Silesian Beskids in winter offers postcards-like landscapes: snow-covered ridges, fragrant spruces, and trails perfect for family walks or sledding. After a day spent in the fresh air, returning to the hotel means the warmth of a fireplace, aromatic spiced tea, and patiently listening to whether the Santa’s bell can be heard somewhere.

How to prepare children for meeting Santa Claus?
Meeting Saint Nicholas is one of the most exciting events of the winter for many children. Joy, curiosity, and sometimes a little shyness may mean it’s worth properly preparing the youngest for this special moment. With a few simple tips, the meeting with Santa Claus will become a beautiful, warm experience that will stay in family memories for a long time.
Tell stories about Saint Nicholas
Prepare a letter to Saint Nicholas with your child
Prepare a short conversation – it’s good to explain that Santa may ask "What’s your name?" or "Do you like winter?"
Choose the right outfit – comfortable clothes with a winter or Christmas theme
