Description

Would you like to experience an amazing mountaineering adventure in Slovakia? Then let’s climb the impressive Gerlach Peak!

The Gerlach (2,655m), formally named Gerlachov Peak, is the highest peak in the High Tatras and the Carpathian mountain range. Due to its altitude, accessibility and beautiful mountain scenery, it is one of the most popular peaks in Central Europe.

For this ascent, we can choose to take one of the following different routes, depending on your mountaineering skills and your wishes:

Normal route (8hs)

This climb is technically easy and crosses the Velicka and Batizovska valleys. The starting point is the Horský Hotel Sliezsky dom.

Gypsy’s ferrata (9hs)

Starting from the same point as the Normal route, this ascent follows an exposed ridge on the North face of Gerlach, all the way to its summit. It requires advanced skills.

Martin’s route (10hs)

This long, exposed and breathtaking ascent involves rock and ice climbing. The starting point is also the Horský Hotel Sliezsky dom.

Winter route (8hs)

Winter offers a totally different view of the High Tatras. If you are planning to come in this season, the ascent and descent is through the Batizovska Valley.

So, if you are up an unforgettable mountaineering expedition in Central Europe, please contact me. Let me guide you to the top of the Gerlach, the highest peak of the High Tatras!

We can also climb the Ľadový, another amazing mountain of Slovakia, check it out!

Mountain Guide

I am a Slovak IFMGA guide, born in the mountains and thanks to my parents, I discovered the beauty of them early on. I started hiking, skiing and climbing there. Later, I improved my experiences as voluntary mountain rescuer, ski and climbing instructor. In 2012, I successfully passed examination and I became an official IFMGA mountain guide.

My home area is Tatras in Slovakia. I would like to share the feeling of the mountains with my clients that have no ambition to be a serious mountaineer. I love sharing great moments during freeriding, ski touring, avalanche courses, hiking or climbing. Not just in Slovakia!

Would you like to spend a nice day in the mountain with the feeling of safety and new experiences with a mountain guide?

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
