Description

The High Tatras are a mountain range towering along the border of north Slovakia and south Poland. Let's go for an incredible climbing trip there!

These mountains, which are a part of the Carpathians, are also a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve with many endemic species like the Tatra chamois.

It's also a very attractive region for outdoor lovers, boasting many interesting options for hiking, climbing and skiing.

This time, I propose climbing the 3 highest peaks in Slovakia, in a sort of 'Tatras trilogy'. It's a very demanding climbing trip that can take between 3 to 5 days, depending on your physical conditions and the weather.

Here are the three summits we'll reach:

Mount Gerlach (Gerlachovský ští)

At 2654 m, this impressive pyramid-shaped peak is the highest in Slovakia and also in the whole Carpathians. We can take different routes to ascent this peak, according to the weather conditions and the skills of the group members.

Lomnicky Peak (Lomnický štít)

This is the second highest peak of the High Tatras, at 2634 m. It's also one of the most popular attractions in Slovakia, as it has a cable car going up to its summit, where there's an absolutely breathtaking view!

However, we're not taking the easy way. Instead, we'll choose of the several climbing routes.

Ladovy peak (Ľadový štít)

At 2627 m, Ladovy peak is probably the most technically challenging climb of this 'Tatras trilogy'.

We'll take an exposed ridge towards the summit, where we'll enjoy a stunning view of the whole High Tatras mountain range.

Are you ready to take the challenge? Follow me on this climbing trip in a unique and wild region of Slovakia!

In case you are looking for a short climbing trip, you can consider this 1-day ascent to Mt Gerlach.

Mountain Guide

IFMGA / UIAGM Mountain guide
I was born in 1969 in Ostrava. When I was a child, my parents and I spent most of our free time and weekends in our cottage in Beskydy in the countryside. I started skiing when I was very young, we went to Moravian and Slovak ski resorts. In 2010 I successfully passed my IFMGA exams and I became an official mountain guide. I’m also a photographer and a graphic designer. I’m guiding my friends and clients mainly in the Tatras Mountains. Please feel free to contact me if you wish to discover this beautiful region, during the summer or the winter. We can go hiking, climbing, mountaineering, skiing...together.

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.
