General presentation
Hautes Tatras
A compact alpine massif around Štrbské Pleso, Tatranská Lomnica and Starý Smokovec, with lakes, ridges and mountain trains.
Štrbské Pleso, Tatranská Lomnica and Lomnický štít give the most telling landmarks of High Tatras. Together, they form a destination where mountain reliefs, shores and lakes, forests and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 7 days, it is necessary to plan a fairly sustained day. Also to be anticipated: mountain weather and trails regulated according to season. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Mountain lake
Štrbské Pleso
Štrbské Pleso forms one of the most accessible doors of the Hautes Tatras, with its lake, its historic hotels and its departures from trails. The lake tour already gives a clear picture of the massif, before choosing a more engaged hike.
Alpine station
Tatranská Lomnica
Tatranská Lomnica serves as a base for the heights and uphills of the Lomnický štít. The destination works well to alternate walking, electric train of the Tatras and panoramas, provided to monitor the weather.
Summit
Lomnický štít
The Lomnický štít gives an immediate high mountain feeling, with very wide views of the Slovak and Polish ridges. Access depends heavily on the conditions and places available, which requires keeping a lower plan in reserve.
