The entire ski resort is located at an altitude of 820 – 1,160 meters above sea level. It should also be taken into account that there is much more snow in Ždiar than in the entire surrounding area.

In the resort, you will find 5 lifts and 2 chairlifts, with the total length of the slopes being almost 11 km. The longest ski track in the resort is marked in blue, and its length is an impressive 1,950 meters.

Ždiar and, above all, the Spišská Magura mountain range are famous for excellent conditions for cross-country skiing. This is proven by the presence of up to 19 km of cross-country ski tracks.

Come and experience it in Ždiar.

Hrebienok

Hrebienok

Vysoké Tatry mesto

The Vysoké Tatry are a synonym for good skiing and a guarantee of plenty of snow. If you cannot imagine winter without biting frosts and endless snow fun, visit Hrebienok.

It is located above well-known Starý Smokovec, the administrative center of the Vysoké Tatry. A comfortable road leads from Starý Smokovec straight to Hrebienok, the paradise of winter fun. You can reach the most famous Tatra settlement by car or bus. Your first steps will lead to a beautiful wooden church building, which is the pride and a representative of traditional Tatra architecture.

It is right here that you will find the station for the cable car to Hrebienok. It is exceptional because it is a funicular. Modern and fast, it replaced its older predecessor just a few years ago. Another alternative is a hiking trail or an asphalt road leading all the way up to Hrebienok, to an altitude of almost 1,300 meters above sea level.

Hrebienok is a tourist hub not only in winter, but also in summer. It serves as a starting point for hikes along the Tatranská magistrála trail, into Veľká studená dolina or Malá studená dolina. Almost directly at Hrebienok, you will find the well-known Bilíkova chata, and just a short distance further, Rainerova chata, Zamkovského chata, or Vodopády Studeného potoka. Pure natural beauty. And as if that were not enough, the majestic Slavkovský štít, which in the distant past was considered the highest Tatra peak, will tower directly above your head.

Even if hiking boots are not your favorite footwear, you won't be bored at Hrebienok either. Here you will find snowtubing, a ride down a snow trough on an inflatable tube. Many find riding mountain scooters or the new addition, mountain carts, attractive. In summer, you can enjoy the ride all the way down to Starý Smokovec. In winter, the road serves as a toboggan track. You can rent a sled, take the funicular up, and thus avoid the grueling pull up the hill. The toboggan track is equipped with artificial lighting, and night sledding is a unique experience you should definitely treat yourself to.

Skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts will also find good conditions prepared here, although operations at Hrebienok are always uncertain. The more demanding slope from Hrebienok at the foot of Slavkovský štít opens only very sporadically. The slope leading down to Starý Smokovec occasionally struggles with a lack of snow. You will certainly have fun at Hrebienok, but if you love skiing, try checking the snow conditions and plan a backup strategy for a nearby ski resort in the area.

You can stay directly at the hotel on Hrebienok. Every morning, you will wake up to a view of the entire Podtatranská kotlina basin, with Slavkovský štít above your head and Lomnický štít off to the side. Alternatively, choose accommodation in Starý Smokovec, which offers a variety of luxury hotels, beautiful guesthouses, as well as affordable private rentals. A vacation in the Tatras thus doesn't have to be just for snobs, but for everyone.

Štrbské Pleso needs no introduction. It lies approximately 30 km from the district town of Poprad. You can get here by car, bus, tram, or cog railway. Transport won't be a problem. On the way to Park Snow Štrbské Pleso, you will already be amazed by stunning views of the towering Tatras rock faces. And the best is yet to come.

Štrbské Pleso is a place where natural beauty meets modern technological amenities. Thanks to them, you can ascend from an altitude of 1,351 meters above sea level to over 500 meters higher in just a few minutes. In the resort, 3 chairlifts and 4 ski lifts are at your service. Thanks to a newly built slope, their total length has expanded to nearly 9 kilometers, with the longest descent measuring a full 2.5 kilometers, a figure that some smaller resorts don't reach even when combining all their slopes.

Štrbské Pleso strives to cater to the widest possible range of skiers. Red-marked, intermediate slopes dominate the area. With beginners and families in mind, a new blue slope was also built, making the beauty of the surrounding nature accessible to a broader audience. The ultimate highlight is skiing from Solisko, which offers a fascinating view of Štrbské pleso, Liptovská Mara, Kráľova hoľa, and the entire Podtatranská kotlina basin. A divine view indeed. And behind your back, the Tatras valleys and towering rocky peaks.

Children have been kept in mind too. You can entrust them to instructors at the ski schools. If you bring a snowboard along, you can have fun in the local snowboard park featuring numerous obstacles and jumps. You can try ice climbing on the ice tower, enjoy a romantic walk along the shores of Štrbské pleso, or hike to Vodopád Skok waterfall. Adrenaline lovers don't have to go far; right by the slopes, they can try bungee running, snow rafting, or snow tubing. For the boldest thrill-seekers, we have a special treat: bungee jumping from the large ski jump tower.

Štrbské Pleso is open to everyone. The most demanding guests will certainly choose from one of the luxury hotels equipped with extensive wellness centers or pools.

The ski resort caters mainly to children and youth, regularly organizing ski courses and various interesting competitions or races.

Dolný Smokovec - Pod lesom

Dolný Smokovec - Pod lesom

Vysoké Tatry mesto

The Vysoké Tatry are famous for high-quality services, groomed slopes, and ski resorts for even the most demanding skiers. If you are looking for first-class skiing, you will certainly find exactly what you long for beneath the peaks of our highest mountains. But if you are attracted even a little bit by skiing in a quiet resort where the slope will belong almost exclusively to you, we have one place you must visit.

Starý Smokovec is one of the most famous Tatra settlements. The famous funicular railway to Hrebienok, a popular destination for tourists in both summer and winter, also leads from here. Just a few kilometers south lies its brother, Dolný Smokovec. It became famous mainly for treating respiratory diseases in the local children's sanatorium. Beautiful surroundings and fresh air are the main prerequisites not only for treatment, but also for perfect skiing.

A small and inconspicuous ski resort is situated in the part of Dolný Smokovec with the poetic name Pod lesom. Its name is Greguskaski. It lies above the village of Nová Lesná, where you will find plenty of affordable accommodation options in private rentals.

The resort offers only one slope, but given its focus on complete beginners, even that is sufficient. It is of blue difficulty, the lowest category. Its length is 400 meters and it offers an elevation gain of exactly 50 meters. The entire resort sits at an altitude of 874 – 924 meters above sea level. Two ski lifts will take care of your comfort, helping you forget about long queues.

Despite the resort being really small, it offers an artificial snowmaking system. You won't have to worry about a lack of snow. There is also a ski school here. The slope is particularly suitable for those of you stepping onto skis for the very first time. An undeniable asset of this ski resort is the price of ski passes. If you are a beginner skier, it would be wasteful to pay dozens of euros for a skipass in a larger resort when you would spend the whole day learning on a single slope anyway.

In the area, you will find cross-country trails for enthusiasts of the white track. The environment of the Vysoké Tatry is generally extremely attractive and offers dozens, if not hundreds, of leisure opportunities. Whether it is a trip to the aforementioned Hrebienok, evening sledding, or a cable car ride to the peak of Lomnický štít. Alternatively, if you still haven't had enough of skiing, visit Starý Smokovec, Tatranská Lomnica, or Štrbské Pleso.

Finding accommodation near the slope in Dolný Smokovec is not a problem. Just a few dozen meters away are various private accommodations, whether in the Pod lesom area itself or in nearby Nová Lesná. The latter offers attractively priced accommodation in guesthouses, apartments, private rentals, and chalets. Beginner skiers can boldly head to the Vysoké Tatry as well. You just need to know where to go.
