Needle of Osterva (Popradske lake) guided climbing day

I am happy to invite you to this mountain climbing day in the Popradske lake area, during which I’ll guide you to the top of the fantastic Needle of Osterva, in the High Tatras of Slovakia.

Our meeting point will be Popradske pleso, a mountain glacial lake located at 1494 meters of height, right on the famous Tatranská magistrála route. If you wish, we can meet in the city of Poprad and drive to the parking lot.

I like guiding my friends and clients in this location because the Popradske lake is a very popular starting point for the best mountaineering programs in the High Tratas. From there we’ll hike to our goal for the day: the Needle of Osterva.

On the way to the top of this granite spire we’ll enjoy really stunning views of the surrounding valleys. What’s more exciting is that the landscape will change constantly since we will take a circular trail.

The Needle of Osterva can be climbed all year round and is open to anyone with a basic mountaineering experience. The last section before the summit implies some rock climbing skills. 

Although it’s a half-day program, if you have available time in Slovakia we can stay at a nearby hotel (Horský Hotel Popradske Pleso) and go for more days of climbing to other interesting spots in the High Tatras. Zabi Kon, Volia Veza or Rysy are some of the options.

So please send your request and get in touch with me to organize your next mountaineering adventure in this amazing country. I’m sure you won’t want to leave High Tatras.
