Description

Chopok and Deres are two of the highest peaks in the Low Tatras, a section of the Tatras mountain range. Still an under-the-radar ski destination, it’s the best place to venture for a freeride ski adventure!

On the north side of Chopok lies Jasna, the largest ski resort in Slovakia offering breathtaking views and exciting slopes for skiers of all levels.

However, we’ll be exploring a quieter and wilder section of these mountains. With an easy access, we’ll reach several great peaks for a freeride skiing adventure. This is an exciting opportunity to enjoy a true immersion in nature.

You can join me for a 1 or several-day ski trip. Each day, I’ll take you to the best spots depending on the snow conditions and your skill level.

Here are some of the best freeriding areas we can explore:

The central Dresden boiler
The West Dresden Boiler
Luke Valley
The main Dresden boiler

As regards snow conditions, the northern sides of Chopok and Deres receive less snow at the beginning of the winter season (December). Generally, the best conditions can be found from January to March.

Besides —while it’s not a very risky area— you’ll need to have an avalanche equipment.

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
