Via Ferrata Slovenský raj – Slovak Paradise
Join Peter, UIMLA certified mountain leader, on this 1-day via ferrata in the beautiful Slovak Paradise. It had been closed for 40 years, but this is your time to traverse it!
Description
In the Slovak Paradise National Park there is a marvelous via ferrata route. It was closed for 40 years but it is now available again! Let me take you there for a day and discover this preserved route.
The Kysel via ferrata reopened recently after 40 years. It was closed due to a fire, and now it is finally apt for people to traverse it again, with nature in good conditions. We will progress using the ladders, chains and bridges, secured with harness and wires. The natural setting is simply beautiful!
We will meet in Čingov, one of the main centers of the Slovak Paradise, located in the northern part of the Park. The environment in Čingov is extremely pleasant, and you can look for accommodation there. An option to get there is taking a bus from Spisska Nova Ves.
I particularly like guiding my friends and clients in this via ferrata because:
– The untouched nature is stunning
– It has been closed for 40 years!
– It is located in the beautiful National Park of the Slovak Paradise.
Want to spend a fun day of via ferrata in the Slovak Paradise? Then please send me a request and let’s start planning! And for a great trek in the Suchá Belá gorge of the National Park, check out this other program!

Great trek with a highly qualified and friendly guide. The hike was quite challenging and would have taken us longer to reach the summit then anticipated but despite not making it to the top we had a fabulous experience with great scenery and views. Would recommend booking with Peter, a real pro.

Amazing hike in the snow from Hrebienok. Peter was a fantastic guide, super friendly and knowledgeable and took lots of photos/videos for us as memories of the day. Really couldn’t have asked for more and we would recommend everyone visit this beautiful part of the world!

This adventure with Peter was exactly what we wanted. We had no experience hiking in the snow (only summer hiking) so it was great to have guidance (and crampons) when we needed it. Peter told us stories about the area/mountains and was a fantastic photographer! We highly recommend.

I am not a strong mountain hiker, and need many small breakes during ascending. Peter was very patient and controlling the pace very well. We were relatively lucky with the comfortable weather, and saw both wild life and beautiful High Tatras and Rysy Summit. Peter is very experienced guide and mountain rescuer, he cares these mountains dearly. You will be in good hands hiking with him. I had a wonderful day and would do it again!

Peter was very professional, helpful and friendly from the beginning. As my intention was to Winter Hike, Peter came prepared with all the right equipment for me. The Hike was challenging as I had 10kg bag to carry with plenty of steep hikes, I found Peter very patient and helpful. This was one of the greatest experience I have ever had and this was down to the fact Peter made sure I enjoyed my day thoroughly as a Solo Traveller! I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to visit Tatras!
Our guide was the BEST! He explained a lot about the country, took videos and photos of us. We had such great moments and he also give us some Slovakian souvenirs at the end.
