In winter, the real adventure in the High Tatras is just beginning!

Winter is one of the most beautiful seasons of the year, which many people associate with the season of skiing on groomed slopes with the most beautiful views of the panorama of the Tatra Mountains. But it is not just about skiing, winter days can be experienced in other ways too!

In winter, the real adventure in the High Tatras is just beginning!

A true winter idyll in the form of walking or hiking

Every year during the winter season, approximately 20 km of marked hiking trails are set out, leading you to various views, waterfalls and hiking huts. Throughout the winter season you have the opportunity to visit up to 12 alpine huts where you can refresh yourself or have a hot cup of tea during your expedition. We recommend visiting for example the fabulously frozen waterfall Vodopád skok, Hrebienok, Štrbské Pleso or the hut on Popradské Pleso.

Sledding from Hrebienok to Starý Smokovec

If you like frantic sledging, you will surely enjoy the sledging on the longest toboggan run from Hrebienok to the fullest! Just bring your own sledge or rent it directly at Hrebienok for a fee. You can easily take the cable car to Hrebienok or walk along the asphalt road or hiking trail. In addition to sledging during the day, you can also experience night sledging! The unique atmosphere of the illuminated trail makes for a completely new sledging experience, so go back to the joyful childhood days with your kids and enjoy a real Tatra sledging.

By cable car for beautiful views

Winter views of the Tatra mountains and snow-covered peaks have their own charm, but it is not a rule that you have to reach them on your own. You can enjoy the views without a big hike, because all you need to do is buy a ticket for one of the cable cars. The underground cable car from Starý Smokovec takes you directly to Hrebienok, the chairlift from Štrbské Pleso to Solisko and the cable car from Tatranská Lomnica to Skalnaté Pleso or Lomnický štít, so in winter you have the opportunity to get to know the "other face of the Tatras".

Popular outdoor activities

Winter in the Tatras literally screams fun! In addition to classic activities, you can also try unique winter attractions that you can enjoy with your kids. Dog sledding is definitely worth trying – you will drive a dog sled like a real musher, snow tubing – riding in a snow trough, or snow rafting – an adrenaline-filled ride in a raft. However, if you are not a fan of adrenaline-filled activities, you can play curling on ice, visit the Tatranský Dóm, or the Tatras Tower.

When weather is not ideal

In addition to enjoying the snowfall and everything that comes with it in winter, there are days when the weather in the high mountains is simply unfavorable. In the High Tatras and the surrounding area, you can try out various indoor activities and visit various museums - TANAP, interactive galleries - Trickladnia or Poliankovo, caves - Belianska Cave, or water parks - AquaCity Poprad.
