Mountain Guide

Poprad, Slovakia

I’m an IFMGA mountain guide born in west Slovakia, in 1973. Nowadays I live in Poprad, a city 10 km away from the High Tatras, the mountains where I’ve been working for 25 years.

I came to High Tatras when I was student, in the summer of 1991. I started to work as a mountain carrier-sherpa in the chalet Rysy. I was also a professional member of the mountain rescue service.

In 2011, I finished my mountain education in Chamonix and became an international mountain guide. I also worked as a cave rescuer in Slovakia.

During winter, I enjoy ski-mountaineering, freeride, ice climbing and ascending different peaks. On the summer season, I practice mountain climbing, hiking, mountain bike, rock climbing, guiding and a lot of other sports.

Besides traveling with clients, I sometimes go to the mountain alone or with my friends and son.

I offer courses for avalanche education, ski-mountaineering, rock and ice climbing. I also organize special team-building activities for clients and I’m used to working with young people and children.

Overall it's a good trip since I made it to the peak. ;-) The only thing not feeling very well during the hiking/climbing is the time pressure (due to the schedule of the mountain taxi), so sometimes it felt a bit too pushy or stressed. The guide is very experience mountain guide and rescuer, and that's why he could be a bit bossy sometimes. But in the end I still appreciate all his effort and help and patience to make us a successful and safe trip. :-)3
