Summer in the High Tatras
Enjoy Summer in the High Tatras
The summer season in the High Tatras is here - and for all of those who love nature, adventure, and creating unforgettable memories with your loved ones - we have a few great tips on how to experience a summer to remember.
In the summertime, more than 1.3 million visitors come to the High Tatras seeking active relaxation. Besides the most popular activity - hiking - you can experience various other things in this region. Among the most exceptional experiences are trips on cable cars to the peaks of the High Tatras (for a complete offer of cable car routes, visit this link). A cable car trip is an experience for everyone - whether you're an avid hiker or just a seasonal one. You'll surely appreciate the unforgettable views that are not easily seen otherwise.
One of the great advantages of cable car trips is the opportunity to give a wonderful experience to those who are no longer up to the task of hiking - whether it’s your little ones, or the older generation.
However, if you are a more traditional hiker and like to spice up your nature getaway with a healthy dose of movement, we have selected the most popular trips for you that are guaranteed to leave you in awe..
What do they have in common? Well, they all start from Stary Smokovec, where we have the most comfortable apartments for you, where you will be happy to return after a challenging day full of experiences. See for yourself.
You can set out to Slavkovský Štít from the mountain resort of Starý Smokovec by ground cable car to Hrebienok, from where you will connect to the hiking trail and off you go to the destination. The hike is quite demanding as the path constantly ascends, but it doesn't bring obstacles like ladders or chains, instead, it offers beautiful panoramic views.
If the hike to Slavkovský Štít seems challenging for you, you can choose a trip to Sliezsky Dom - from Hrebienok along the red trail through Slavkovská Dolina. During the journey, the nature of High Tatras will reveal itself in all its beauty - views, crystal-clear lakes, and Velické Pleso.
The aforementioned red trail will also take you to Téry's Cabin - accompanied by beautiful waterfalls your hike will take you along Rainer's Cabin, and at Zámkovského Crossroads, you will continue on the green trail until you reach your destination.
If you choose to spend your summer vacation in Tatranská Lomnica, we recommend an easy trip to Zelené Pleso, one of the most beautiful and popular places in the High Tatras - simply take the cable car from Tatranská Lomnica to Skalnaté Pleso and discover the beautiful views that surround your journey. You can spice up this route with another ride on the cable car to Lomnický Štít or Lomnické Sedlo.
In addition to hiking, the Tatranská Lomnica resort also offers adrenaline entertainment for the whole family - mountain carts. This popular summer activity will guarantee you a great experience with your loved ones. This activity is safe, suitable for beginners as well as experienced riders, and brings a lot of fun and excitement for every age group. See for yourself - this is how your experience on mountain carts can look like.
Experience an unforgettable weekend in Tatranská Lomnica and amazing comfort in one of our top apartments in Vila Himalaya, thanks to which you can enrich your outdoor program with relaxation in a private wellness with a view of Tatra Peaks.
Lastly, it’s worth mentioning a 130-year-old tradition which is pleasant, peaceful, and easy - Boating on Štrbské Pleso. In 2008, after a 25-year break, the lake reopened, allowing visitors to experience a truly unforgettable experience - sailing on the lake, enjoying the beautiful view of Solisko, and enjoying comfort to the fullest. There is also a private rowing service available so you can immerse yourself in the scenery.
If you want to turn an ordinary day into a unique stay, even at Štrbské Pleso, we have our guest’s favorite apartment for you, which is among our favorites.
What more to say? Whether you’ve come as a couple for a romantic weekend getaway, or with a fun group of friends to conquer the mountain peaks, or have a family vacation combined with adventure for the youngest ones, the High Tatras offer anything and everything for you to experience an unforgettable summer in Slovakia.
