The High Tatras resorts are in the town of Vysoké Tatry in northern Slovakia: Tatranská Lomnica, Štrbské Pleso and Starý Smokovec. Tatranská Lomnica has the highest skiing. A chairlift runs from the village to Štart (1,174 m), a 15-seat gondola continues to Skalnaté pleso (1,751 m), and from there a chairlift reaches Lomnické sedlo at 2,190 metres (7,185 feet). The black run from Lomnické sedlo drops 1,300 metres (4,265 feet) and is one of the steepest in Slovakia, and the longest carving route runs 6.5 kilometres down to the lower station at 880 metres. Tatranská Lomnica has more than 12 kilometres of slopes. An aerial tramway also climbs from Skalnaté pleso to Lomnický štít, 2,634 metres (8,642 feet), the second-highest peak in the High Tatras.
Štrbské Pleso is the highest village in Slovakia. The Solisko Express chairlift runs to Predné Solisko at 1,840 metres, and its pistes range from the easy Furkota to the harder Solisko run. In Starý Smokovec, Jakubkova lúka has gentle blue runs for beginners, and a funicular climbs to Hrebienok (1,285 m), with a 2.5-kilometre sledging run back down.
All the cams are live video. Lomnický Štít is on the summit at 2,634 metres, and Lomnické Sedlo shows the top of the skiing at 2,190 metres. Skalnaté Pleso (1,751 m) and Štart (1,173 m) follow the lifts down toward Tatranská Lomnica, so together they show how conditions change over the whole descent.
Solisko (1,814 m) covers Štrbské Pleso, and Hrebienok I and Hrebienok II (1,285 m) look over Hrebienok above Starý Smokovec.
Poprad-Tatry Airport is in Poprad. The lifts and slopes page shows what’s open in each resort.
Slovak law requires cars to have winter tyres, marked with the mountain-snowflake symbol or M+S, on all axles whenever there’s continuous snow, ice or frost on the road.
The High Tatras resorts aren’t on the Epic, Ikon or Indy Pass.
