Slovakia Mountains & Ski Resorts: Photos

Slovakia’s mountains in photos: peaks, lakes and resorts of the High Tatras. These are the highest mountains of the Carpathians, yet they are easy to reach by train. Štrbské Pleso sits by a glacial lake and is a base for hiking in summer and skiing in winter. From there, a trail leads to Poprad Lake below steep rocky walls. Starý Smokovec and Tatranská Lomnica are classic resorts with grand old hotels. A forest trail links Tatranská Lomnica with Hrebienok, known for its waterfalls and winter ice sculptures. All photos come from places we have visited and described. Open any place to see it on the map, check the weather and plan how to get there.
