Description
Would you like to enjoy an amazing winter adventure in Slovakia? Then join me on this 1-day winter hike in the High Tatras or in the Slovak Paradise National Park and let me show you some of the most amazing winterscapes in the country. Even if you are a beginner, I can find the perfect training spot for you!
The High Tatras (Vysoké Tatry) is the highest range in the Carpathian Mountains ridge. It has about 25 peaks rising over 2500 m and in the winter season, it is the perfect spot for a refreshing hike or snowshoeing adventure.
The best and safest way to visit is with a guide. I will adapt the itinerary to suit your preferences and level and make sure you are safe. Furthermore, I will take you to my favorite spots to catch sight of some of the most beautiful valleys in the High Tatras from the Slovak or Polish side, and wonderful gorges in the Slovak Paradise Park.
Keep in mind that you will need prior hiking experience and a good fitness level to join. However, if it is your first winter hike, then I will take you to the best spots for your level.
On the day of our adventure, we will arrange a meeting spot, and from there, we will head to the starting point of our trip. I will bring the necessary equipment to ensure your safety (snowshoes, crampons, ice ax, etc.) depending on your request and on snow conditions. The actual hike will take between 5 to 8 hours, including stops. Many valleys of the Tatras have mountain huts where we can stop for refreshments. We usually set off at 7.00 or 8.00 a.m. and finish between 4.00-6.00 p.m.

Mountain Leader
I'm a UIMLA mountain leader and national tourist guide (for cultural and historical heritage trips).
I was born in Poprad in 1969. From my early childhood, I often looked out my bedroom window into the distance of the picturesque High Tatras, which fascinated me even then. In high school I started going with my friends to a small climbing "expedition" on the surrounding rocks, and later to the High Tatras. Mostly I went with a friend whose father was a member of the Mountain Rescue Service. During my studies at Comenius University in Bratislava, I loved coming back to the mountains.
In 1999 I started actively volunteering paramedic of the Tatra Mountain Rescue Service, and then I was hired there.
Precisely because of my relationship with the mountains I began working as a tourist guide with a focus on mountain areas.
Since 1998 I accompany tourists from around the world to the mountains and surrounding towns.
In 2011 I got certified as mountain leader.
Besides, I have been working as a member of the Council of the Slovak Association of mountain Leaders since it was established in 2011.

The guide has wide knowledge of the area. He provide took care of our safety during the hike. Although we did it from Slovenia side, I just have to say thank you for the superb hike and great experiencie along our journey to the top. I didn’t find the hike difficult, however we got a really bad condition in our way to the top. Once we achieve the peak the sun rised.
