Tour Description:

The High Tatras, the most alpine peaks of the Carpathian Mountains, rise dramatically along the border of Poland and Slovakia, just a short distance from Krakow. Encompassing more than 900 square kilometers of protected national parkland, this region is a hiker’s paradise—yet still remarkably undiscovered by much of the world. Here, vast forests, unspoiled valleys, and rugged summits create a wilderness where hours of hiking reveal nothing but pristine alpine beauty. A well-marked network of trails and welcoming mountain huts make this untamed landscape both accessible and deeply rewarding for adventurers. After days filled with crisp mountain air and sweeping views, evenings are spent in five-star comfort, with cultural experiences, dining, and lively mountain-town charm in Zakopane and Strbske Pleso. Join us to discover the hidden gems of the Polish and Slovakian Tatras on this unforgettable journey through two countries and one spectacular mountain range.

Highlights Zakopane and Strbske Pleso – The Tatras are located in the
Carpathian Mountains, drawing the border between Poland and Slovakia.
The highest peak in the Tatras (and the Capathian Mountains) is
Gerlachovsky štít at 2,655 meters. Lomnicky štít (2,633 meters), the third highest
peak in the Carpathian Mountains, is easily accessible from a cable-car in Slovakia.
The vast majority of peaks in the Tatras reach above 2200 meters of altitude and
are very alpine in look.

One particular feature of this mountain range is it’s climate which is heavily influenced
by its northern location (approximately on the same latitude as Paris). The tree line
sits at around 1500 meters (versus 2300 meters in the Alps), so that even a peak
that is barely above 2000 meters, looks a lot higher than it actually is.

While the higher elevations of the mountains tend to be a sequence of rugged, rocky
ridges, the lower portions of the mountains are carpeted with some of Europe’s most
beautiful fir and spruce forests, and because most valleys are unspoiled by roads,
cars or infrastructure, the impression one gets is that of a beautiful and remote place.
Still, there also are a few cable cars which facilitate access, particularly on the
Slovakian side.
