About this route

Route overview

Štrbské Pleso (1346 m a.s.l.) is the pearl of the High Tatras — an alpine lake, an FIS cross-country venue and a premium base for downhill skiers on the Solisko slopes. The route from BTS runs along the D1 motorway through Liptovský Mikuláš and the II/537 mountain road straight to Grand Hotel Kempinski High Tatras, Hotel Patria on the lakeshore and Hotel Toliar. Four hours from the airport is a conscious choice for guests who want to step into a ski week or a Tatra expedition without changing into a train or bus with ski and snowboard luggage. The V-Class is the natural choice for families with equipment, E-Class or S-Class for couples and executive travel. Winter season runs December–March, hiking May–October (Rysy, Kriváň, Solisko via gondola).

Bratislava Airport (BTS) to Jasná

Jasná in the Nízke Tatry range is Slovakia's top ski destination — 50 km of slopes under the peak of Chopok (2024 m), the flagship resort of Tatry Mountain Resorts. The route from BTS runs along the D1 motorway to Liptovský Mikuláš and a III road through Demänovská dolina straight to Hotel Tri Studničky 5*, Wellness Hotel Chopok and Damian Grand. Two and a half to three hours is relatively short for the Tatras — Jasná becomes the alternative to the Vysoké Tatry, especially when the weather on the northern Tatra side is harsh, because Chopok is sheltered from the strongest winds. The neighbouring Demänovská cave of Liberty is one of the most beautiful in Slovakia. V-Class is the natural choice for families with ski equipment, E or S-Class for couples. Funpark Jasná for kids, summer UCI MTB park.
