SLOVAKIA – Alpine Ski Touring Hut to Hut
“Get lost in Nature and you will find yourself”
In Central Europe lies the Carphatian Mountain Range. The highest part of it is the Mountain High Tatras Nationalpark – that has the attributes of the “smallest high mountain with alpine character” and the tours are comparable with those in the Alps.
The summits ranging up to 2665 m (8743 feet). It offers an enormous number of beautiful long descents, wide valleys for easy and steep couloirs for intermediate to difficult descents.
Take time to get to know this magnificent area and come with us on a winter crossing from hut to hut. We will ski all day long and in the evening taste the delicious local food and drinks, on some days might have the opportunity to use a sauna, or hot bath.

day 3
From Green Lake to the next mountain hut
We will pass the highest climbing wall in the High Tatras (1000metres) and skin into a saddleback from where we can admire the White Tatras that are geologicaly the old part of the Tatra mountain range and part of it belongs to Poland and also we might see our mountain lodge at the Green Lake. This area is also popular for frozen waterfall ice climbing. Let`s ski down to the Five mountain lakes
day 4
From mountainhut to mountainhut
It’s a popular saddleback to tour in summer as it is a great ski run in winter that connects the Big Cold Valley with the Small cold Valley where we will head towards the mountain lodge. The names of these valleys are derived from the early winter sun set but on the way we will hopefully meet the sunshine. There are more possibilities for evening ski runs before or after arriving in the cosy hut, that we call the Robber hut, but you do not have to be worried to be robbed 😉 More info why it si called like that on the tour…
day 5
From mountainhut to mountainhotel
In the big cold valley we have the most mountain lakes, here we can also admire the nicely glacier shaped mountain. We start heading through the valley above the tree line and over 2 saddlebacks until we reach our next mountain lodge (which is a mountain hotel with little luxury of wellness and spa ) If time and conditions allow us, we can do one more run from the southern side of the valley and in the evening have a massage, glass of champagne in Jacuzzi and sauna (necessary to book in advance)
day 6
From mountain hotel to the last mountain lodge
Today another 2 saddleback are waiting for us, one of them is called the Iron Gate, if you have passed this one, you can apply for the competition of the Iron Man 😉 If visibility is good we well be accompanied with great views.
Once we arrive in the hut we can have a hot tea and use the day light for few more great ski runs around the mountain lodge.
We will be in an area, where we used to have one of the longest glacier in the Tatras, in the last Ice Age.
Depending on the time of your flight, we will either ski down and you will be driven to the airport, or we will stay the night at the mountain lodge or an accommodation near the mountain.
day 7
Flight home from “mainland” back to the “iceberg” 😉
