Description

Join us for an exciting 3-day journey in the High Tatras, passing through scenic valleys and historic chalets.

On the last day, explore the Belianske Tatras, experience wooden architecture in Zdiar, and ascend the Monkova Valley before returning.

Itinerary

Day 1: Smokovec to Teryho Chalet
- Meet your tour guide at a predecided location to start the program itinerary.
- Take the funicular with your Slovak guide from Stary Smokovec to Hrebienok.
- Walk up the Mala Studena valley to Teryho chalet, the oldest in the High Tatras, dating from the end of the last century.
- Descend and follow an undulating path past some small lakes to Zbojnicka chalet.
- Hike down the valley. The way down goes through Velka Studena Dolina Valley. Use funicular again on your way down.
Note: Shorter and easier option: Reach Teryho hut, and walk back the same way. Mala Studena Dolina Valley is among the most scenic in the High Tatras.
Day 2: Optional Climb Gerlachovsky Stit
- Embark on your return journey, and you can stop in a small lively medieval town, Kezmarok.
- Move to another historical city of Krakow in Poland.
- Take another half-day trip to the UNESCO cultural site – the medieval town of Levoca and Spissky to see the Spis Castle.
- Go for the Gerlach Climb, and for those who wish and are extreme, ambitious hikers, it is possible to make an optional climb of Gerlachovsky stit, the highest peak in the Tatras.
Day 3: Belianske Tatras to Tatranska Lomnica
- Start the journey via the Polish border, which will take approximately 30 minutes, and you will stop at the eastern part of the High Tatras called the Belianske Tatry.
- Begin from the village of Zdiar, where many houses represent typical wooden architecture.
- Take a steady climb up the Monkova Valley before dropping to the Brncalova Chalet and towards the main road to catch the bus back.
- Ride the bus to return to your final destination.

Know Before You Go

All private trips are based on the client's wishes, and the guides are open to any inquiry.

Tours may be arranged in 5-8 days. Please inquire about the tour cost.

Extra days may be added to the tour.

Extra days will be discussed up to the client's wishes. Climbing to the highest peak of Gerlach may also be arranged. Another option is a cultural and historical excursion in Slovakia and Poland.

Few visitors to the Slovak Republic (part of former Czechoslovakia) take the trip to Slovakia's magnificent mountains. Still, adventure travellers know what they have to offer: challenging hiking and spectacular alpine scenery.

On the Polish border, the High Tatras are a scaled-down version of the Alps, where snow stays all summer atop jagged granite peaks, waterfalls tumble from stark rock walls, and jewel-like tarns sparkle in broad, green glacial valleys. And in the Malá Fatra mountains, a subsidiary range, deep narrow gorges and ridgetop trails offer excellent hiking. At the same time, a rich alpine flora is found along its quiet forest paths and richly green meadows.

On the hiker’s odyssey, you'll quickly scramble up local peaks, traverse long green valleys to high summit ridges, and meet the friendly locals who share the trails with you (hiking is Slovakia's national sport!). Hikes range from five to eight hours, with a return to the hotel at the end of the day. They also vary considerably in difficulty (a few are pretty strenuous); trails are often exposed, and chains, ladders, and metal platforms are used to negotiate some trickier spots. If you feel like skipping any of the hikes, you'll find opportunities to explore the local culture.

To complement the challenging hikes, you'll get a taste of the history and culture of the ancient lands of central Europe with visits to unspoiled medieval towns like Levoca, little-changed since the 13th century, Vienna, once the seat of the old Habsburg Empire and the hub of Europe, and Prague, a “g" laden” "storybook city with the beautiful architecture of nearly every significant period and style.
