Slovakia's Tatra Mountains

If you are looking at this one week holiday, why not make your stay two weeks by joining us on The Tatra Mountains.

The High Tatras offer spectacular mountains with snow covered peaks, alpine lakes, and unrivalled views. The range forms the border between Poland to the north and Slovakia to the south. They are wildly regarded as the smallest alpine range of mountains in the world. However, within their small size, peaks rise to Gerlach (2,655m) and trails offer all manner of spectacular walking. There are various mountain huts set around and above the tree line, as one would find in the Alps. These make for pleasant refreshment stops on our walks. All offer a cup of tea or a pint as you prefer and spectacular views to take in whilst enjoying the drink.

In Slovakia to the south of the range we stay in Strbske Pleso, another ideal centre allowing access to the best walking on the southern slopes. Strbske Pleso is under the centre of the range, a short distance from Zakopane as the crow flies but it takes around 2 hours to drive here. The southerly facing Slovakian slopes are generally more open and sunnier. On three days we walk from Strbske Pleso into the mountains. But we will also walk in the eastern and western end of the ranges to enjoy the best the range as to offer.
