Description
Come along on a guided ascent to Marmot peak - Svišťový štít in Slovakia!
To conquer this peak in the High Tatras, we'll follow the scenic Tatra Highway to Starolesnianska Polana from Hrebienok.
Along the way, we will stop at Reiner’s Shelter, the oldest hut in the Slovak High Tatras, offering a glimpse into the region’s rich mountaineering history.
From there, we continue into the Great Cold Valley, passing Veverka’s Waterfall. The trail gradually steepens as we approach the landmark known as the “Gate,” navigating winding paths before reaching Zbojnicka Cottage at 1960 m.
After a well-earned rest, we push forward toward Saddle Prielom, leaving the marked trail behind as we ascend through the rugged high-mountain basin.
Once at the summit of Marmot peak, we'll take a moment to admire the beauty of the alpine landscape. Following the same route we'll descend back to Zbojnicka Cottage for a short break before returning to Hrebienok.
Join us on an unforgettable journey through the majestic High Tatras—feel the thrill, breathe the air, and discover the magic. Reserve your guided climb now!

Mountain Leader
I'm a UIMLA mountain leader and national tourist guide (for cultural and historical heritage trips).
I was born in Poprad in 1969. From my early childhood, I often looked out my bedroom window into the distance of the picturesque High Tatras, which fascinated me even then. In high school I started going with my friends to a small climbing "expedition" on the surrounding rocks, and later to the High Tatras. Mostly I went with a friend whose father was a member of the Mountain Rescue Service. During my studies at Comenius University in Bratislava, I loved coming back to the mountains.
In 1999 I started actively volunteering paramedic of the Tatra Mountain Rescue Service, and then I was hired there.
Precisely because of my relationship with the mountains I began working as a tourist guide with a focus on mountain areas.
Since 1998 I accompany tourists from around the world to the mountains and surrounding towns.
In 2011 I got certified as mountain leader.
Besides, I have been working as a member of the Council of the Slovak Association of mountain Leaders since it was established in 2011.

What people are saying about Marcel
Samantha
Marcel was an excellent guide who not only information about the hike but also about wildlife, Slovakia and their culture! We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him and he even rescued our camera (which I was prepared to leave and take it as a loss) from the gorge! Amazing recovery!
Barbara
The best trip of our lives! It was our first time on a Via Ferrata and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Marcel. First of all, we felt completely safe, and second, we spent a wonderful day with an amazing person with whom we could freely talk in our native language (we highly recommend him to all Poles looking for a mountain guide!). On top of that, for the very first time we have beautiful photos together from such an adventure — Marcel made sure we had this keepsake by taking those incredible shots himself! Truly a priceless experience, and without a doubt, when we want to come back and try something new, we’ll reach out to Marcel again to share another mountain adventure.

Successful, safe and educational hike up and down Mt Rysy from Slovakian side. Provided detailed information on plants, rocks, animals and history of Slovakia. Adjusted pace but kept it challenging. Very good English.
