Travel Guide
Strbske Pleso showing forests and a lake or waterhole
Take an adventurous skiing holiday at this emerging winter sports destination in the soaring Tatras Mountains of northern Slovakia.

The Vysoke Tatry region of Slovakia has become a formidable competitor with the skiing destinations of western Europe and Strbske Pleso is one of its most popular resorts. Glide down stunning and accessible slopes at a mountain that welcomes skiers of all abilities. This is the highest resort in Slovakia, so panoramic views of the Tatras Mountains are guaranteed.

Strap on your skis or snowboard and take the lift to 6,000 feet (1,840 meters) above sea level and stop at the top to admire the panoramic views. The runs range in difficulty from beginner to intermediate, making it an accessible destination for novices to the sport.

Skim across the snow and follow the long trail back to the bottom. Choose from more than 5 miles (8 kilometers) worth of downhill runs and spend days enjoying thrilling sports with stunning views.

Children are also welcome at Strbske Pleso. Teach your kids to ski in Maxiland, a sectioned-off area with gentle slopes for younger skiers.

Strbske Pleso is also a popular destination for cross-country skiing, offering 16 miles (26 kilometers) of routes through valleys and forests. Follow trails that were used in cross-country world championships and other professional competitions. The high elevation creates good snow conditions for long, enjoyable journeys.

Come back to Strbske Pleso in summer to enjoy a variety of outdoor activities in the Tatras Mountains. Hike into the peaks of High Tatras National Park for a peaceful escape into the countryside. Find out about biking opportunities at the Information Center in Strbske Pleso.

Wander around the edges of Strbske pleso Lake or rent a boat and paddle out onto the water. Several luxury accommodations are positioned with lakeside views.

Buy a ski pass for Strbske Pleso and you also get access to the neighboring resorts of Stary Smokovec and Tatranska Lomnica, and a greater variety of pistes. Drive to the resort from Poprad-Tatry Airport, which serves flight routes to cities around Slovakia and Western Europe. The airport is 30 minutes away by car and the resort also has a train station.
