The experience

Six to ten hours on the trail, depending on which route you pick with your guide. The High Tatras hold hundreds of kilometers of hiking paths, from easy walks like the route to Popradske pleso up to technical climbs and the highest peak in Slovakia. You arrange the itinerary with your guide a couple of days before the tour, so the difficulty and distance match what you want to do that day. The guide will advise you on gear and preparation. Bring waterproof clothes and proper hiking shoes.

Meet your guide in the morning and hike through the afternoon. The guide is a local who speaks English and knows the terrain, the weather patterns and which trails suit your fitness level. Groups stay between 2 and 15 people. Park fees are included in the price, so there's no separate entry to arrange at the gate.

What’s included

• Professional English-speaking guide.
