Description

The Western Tatras are a group of mountains in the Tatras Range (the highest range in the Carpathian Mountains), located on the border between Poland and Slovakia. With a maximum elevation of 2,248 meters, the Western Tatras are the second highest range in both countries.

You can join me on a 1-day or longer trip. The Western Tatras feature great backcountry terrain for all levels and tastes. Therefore, I will tailor the itinerary according to your time availability, previous splitboarding experience, and goals.

We will ride through quiet, almost-untouched slopes and vast valleys, enjoying stunning views! If you would like to join me for more than one day, we will be able to splitboard on several peaks during the day and rest in a comfortable mountain hut at night. I usually recommend two refuges: the Žiarska cottage (1,324m) and the Chata Zverovka lodge (1,037m), both located in the Slovak side.

Don’t miss this splitboarding getaway in the scenic Western Tatras Mountains. Send me your booking request now. Tell me about your background, interests and time availability, and I will prepare a program tailored just for you!

In case you are interested, I also offer a ski touring version of this program.

Mountain Guide

I was born in Poprad and I live, work and relax in the High Tatras. I have been climbing in this region for 15 years both in summer and winter.
Since 2001 I am a professional rescuer with a completed Bachelor education in Urgent Medical Care. Furthermore, I work in The Experts Mountain Rescue Service (in High Tatras) as an avalanche specialist.
In 2009, after passing the entrance examination for mountain guiding, I started the roundabout course. In April 2010, I became a mountain guide aspirant in the National Association of Mountain Guides of the Slovak Republic.
In 2011, during the final course in Chamonix - Mont Blanc (France) I successfully completed the course of mountain guide during four days of tests, under the strict supervision of Technical Commission NAHVSR instructors. Since then, I am a mountain guide with the IFMGA / UIAGM international license.
Thanks to this job (and hobby) I am pleased to expand the horizons of my clients and share with them my knowledge and experience as a mountain guide.

What people are saying about Kuna

We spent 2 days with Pavol as he introduced us to ice climbing. Upon meeting him, we were pleased with his professionalism and his impressive experiences climbing around the world. It didn't take long for us to realise his expertise on the mountain, as well as his passion and down to earth attitude. Over 2 days, in 2 different locations, we got learn the basics of ice climbing on some serious ice falls. He gave us advice on techniques and strategies to get us climbing higher and more efficiently. The whole time Pavol made us feel very safe and in control, as daunting as ice climbing may be. In the end we had a great time and learnt a lot, and he left us hungry for more. He definitely showed us this is a sport and passion we can keep following. We hope to climb with Pavol again next time we visit Europe.
