Itโs a good idea to arrange your flight with plenty of time to get to your hotel before the walking tour, but if you canโt make it for this time donโt worry โ your guide will leave a note for you in the hotelโs reception and you can join the group later on.

Stop At: Skalnate pleso, Vysoke Tatry Slovakia
After a good breakfast, youโll take a cable car ride to the mountain lake of Skalnate Pleso (1751m). This crystal-clear lake is surrounded by forested hills and towering granite peaks, and thereโs an astronomical and meteorological observatory near the top, which youโll have time to look around.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Zelene pleso, Vysoke Tatry Slovakia
Velka Svistovka (2,037m) is next on our route, well-known for its high concentration of Tatra chamois. Endemic to the High and Low Tatras, Tatra chamois are a rare subspecies of the chamois. Itโs thought that there are only about 600 left. They often wander around in this alpine terrain, close to where you will be walking.
The trail is secured by chains on a few of the more difficult sections, but the mountain provides an accessible and gratifying climb. From the summit of Velka Svistovka, make your descent to the Zelene Pleso Hut secured by chains. Located at the glacier lake of the same name this is an absolutely beautiful spot for lunch.

Today youโll hike through the Studena Dolina Valley. From its narrow beginnings, the valley gradually gets wider; terraces harbouring mountain lakes tower above. Pause and enjoy the sight of colourful flowers, scent of pine trees and sound of rare birds singing in the mountains as you traverse the valley.
The valley leads you up to Zbojnicka, or ยดRobbersยด, Hut, where you can enjoy a traditional lunch of soup and dumplings. Zbonicka (โrobbersโ) Hut is one of the highest at an altitude of (1,960m) and still a popular base for trekkers.

After three days of walking this day is left free to relax. You can visit one of the water parks in the foothills of the Tatras offering indoor and outdoor thermal pools and wellness centres.
If you fancy a different adventure, try rafting in Pieniny National Park. A classic or traditional rafting trip through the Dunajec Gorge is a great way to soak up the views from a different perspective.
Hiring an E-bike is also an option if you want to explore the surroundings on a bike. If youโre a cave lover, then Belianska Cave should be on your list, too.
Cultural trips are also nearby. Spissky Castle is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and dates back to the 12th century. Located on a hilltop above the town of Spisske Podhradie and Zehra village, it was built as the political, administrative, economic and cultural centre of the region.
Levoca is renowned for its authentic and well-preserved architectural profiles of the old medieval town. Explore the historic centre, including the museum and St. Jamesโ church, with the highest wooden altar in the world.
We have some great trips to choose from and can certainly help you to plan and book them โ your guide will be there to help.

Day 7: Walk through the Mlynicka and Furkotska Valleys to Skok Waterfall and Soliskom Hut (1840m).
Stop At: Lake in village Strbske Pleso, Vysoke Tatry 05985 Slovakia
After a day of relaxation we have a long but amazing day ahead of us trekking through the Mlynicka and Furkotska Valleys.
Todayโs trek starts with a tram journey through the Tatrasโ most famous settlements to Strbske Pleso (1347m), Slovakiaยดs highest village and home to a beautiful glacial lake. The village is one of the most popular destinations in Slovakia as it provides many kilometres of hiking routes and the chance to admire the lake itself.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Furkotskรก dolina, 059 85 Vysokรฉ Tatry, Slovakia
From here, youยดll follow a trail to Skok waterfall. The hiking trail is waymarked and leads you along a road to the peace and tranquillity of the pine-forested Mlynicka Valley. From here, a stony path squeezes you through hairpin turns to the foot of the waterfall, which drops 25m from the rocky ledge above. We think they are one of the High Tatrasโ top ten attractions, because the cascading waters are beautiful as they tumble down the mountain into the pools below. We can make a stop here, maybe dipping your feet into the refreshing water while enjoying a picnic!
Duration: 4 hours
Stop At: Predne Solisko, Strbske Pleso 05985 Slovakia
Continuing through the valleys, and passing a number of smaller glacial lakes, youโll reach Pod Soliskom Hut, one of the newer mountain chalets in the region. From here you can enjoy far-reaching views of the Low Tatras.
Descend to Strbske Pleso by cable car, and then by tram to your hotel at Tatranska Lomnica.
