What people are saying about Backcountry Skiing | Slovak High Tatras
Alice
We had a fantastic ski touring day with Jakub. The Tatras are fascinating mountains and at the same time a fairly severe environment and we felt comfortable doing this last -and more complicated- climb with the guide. We appreciated the fact that Jakub, besides being a great guide, is a real lover of these mountains and told us many things about this place and its history. We were also very happy with all the support of explore-share that really made all the steps easy. It is an experience that we certainly feel to recommend.

Our day with Eduard was eventfull. In the beginning there were few communication problems but Eduard’s son was very nice and his presence helped because his English was better. Eduard is a good guide but I think the combination of ski touring and avalanche training is a bit too much for people who go on tour for the first time. We had a real adventure and we plan to go on tour again with Eduard in the summer. His enthousiasm for the Tatra is contagious.
