The track is constructed from specialized stainless steel sections that provide a consistent sliding surface regardless of weather conditions.
The gravity-fed system allows the sleds to reach significant speeds, controlled entirely by the user's manual brake.
The sleds are designed with a low center of gravity to safely navigate the steep banking turns of the track.
Sankostrada is situated within the Julian Zawadowski Sports Park, a local hub for athletics in Krynica-Zdrój.
Sankostrada is an all-season gravity-fed summer and winter toboggan track located within the Julian Zawadowski Sports Park in Krynica-Zdrój. The track features a stainless steel half-pipe design that remains functional in both dry and snowy conditions. Riders control their own speed using a manual braking lever located on the side of the individual sleds. The course consists of various turns, loops, and straightaways designed to accommodate different skill levels. It is a popular recreational facility for families and thrill-seekers visiting the Beskid Sądecki mountain range. The facility is situated on a slope that offers panoramic views of the surrounding forested peaks.

Use the manual brake sparingly on straightaways to maintain momentum, but apply it firmly before entering sharp turns.
Wear comfortable, wind-resistant clothing, as the descent generates significant air movement even on calm days.
Keep hands inside the sled at all times to avoid potential contact with the track walls.
Attempting to stop completely mid-track unless in an emergency, as this creates a hazard for riders behind you.
Operations are highly dependent on weather conditions; the track may close temporarily during heavy rain or severe storms.
Maintain a safe distance between sleds to prevent collisions; follow all instructions from staff regarding seating and launch timing.
