Book this private hiking tour for your group and we will show you the most beautiful places of Tatra mountains and Slovak Paradise.
The hikes that we are going to walk on this trip will be of medium difficulty. Everyday we will walk approx. 18 km with the total vertical ascent of 1000 metres. Some of the hikes involves short part of scrambling, so previous experience with scrambling is welcomed. The hiking trails in the High Tatras are pretty rocky, therefore a good pair of hiking boots with ankle support is a must.

The Tatra Mountains is the smallest mountain range with the alpine character in the world. Even though 26 peaks are higher than 2 500 metres (8 200 ft) and it offers almost everything, as for example the well-known Alps, except the glaciers. They melted away thousands of years ago (and that´s why the peaks are so sharp nowadays). 🙂
If you would like to explore it, don´t hesitate and join us on this trip. We will lead you in the mountains and show you the best places you can visit there. You will walk along the streams, through the dwarf pines, under the 2500 m high peaks, you will enjoy the lunch on the shore of the lakes and hopefully observe the wildlife such as chamoix or marmots.
On one of the days you will visit also the Slovak Paradise National Park to see and explore a different environment. Hiking in this park is all about climbing ladders, walking on catwalks and bridges past waterfalls and lush vegetation in the park’s remarkable gorges.
Popular activity among Slovaks is going to the thermal pool, so we shouldn´t skip this when you´re here. There is a good thermal pool with geothermal water close to the High Tatras. It´s really relaxing after long hikes in the mountains. We can visit the pool after the hike in the evening, so don´t forget to pack the swimwear.
