Walking & Hiking Holidays to Tatra Mountains are not to be missed. Fantastic for all that enjoy hiking, walking, exploring nature’s wonders and meeting like minded people along the way. Our trips consist of mainly solo travellers, but couples or groups of friends are welcome too!
Our 7-night moderate walking holiday in Slovakia offers a unique opportunity to explore not one, but three breathtaking national parks in a single trip — Tatra National Park, Slovak Paradise National Park, and the Low Tatras.
Each day brings new scenic trails, from rugged mountain paths to peaceful forest walks. Alongside the stunning landscapes, you’ll have the chance to unwind in a thermal water park and spa, and on your leisure day, choose from a variety of optional activities listed in the itinerary — whether it’s something adventurous or cultural, the choice is yours.
Touch down in the heart of Europe and settle into the charm of Slovakia. Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by your friendly host who will ensure everything is taken care of. The rest of the day is yours to relax, soak in the surroundings, and adjust to the pace of mountain life. In the evening, join us for a warm welcome dinner where you’ll meet your fellow adventurers and get a taste of traditional Slovak hospitality.
After a hearty breakfast, we set off on an unforgettable hike deep into the breathtaking Tatra Mountains National Park. Today’s route takes us to the highest and deepest glacial lake in the region—a hidden gem surrounded by rugged peaks and alpine beauty. This moderately challenging trek covers approximately 16 km, with a 900-meter ascent, and takes around 6–7 hours. We’ll pause along the way to enjoy a packed lunch with panoramic views that make every step worth it.
Fuel up with breakfast before we head out to one of the Tatra Mountains’ lesser-known treasures. Today’s hike takes us through a stunning alpine valley framed by towering peaks and lush forest. This moderately challenging route climbs 940 meters over 9 km and takes about 5–6 hours to complete. Along the way, we’ll stop for a packed lunch in the heart of nature—perfect for recharging and soaking in the peaceful mountain atmosphere.
After breakfast, get ready for a true adventure in the wild beauty of Slovak Paradise National Park. This thrilling hike leads you through a landscape of dramatic gorges, hidden caves, cascading waterfalls, and heart-pumping ladder climbs. With 15 km of trail, a gentle 300-meter ascent, and around 6 hours on foot, it’s an exciting yet accessible challenge. We’ll take a break to enjoy a packed lunch surrounded by some of Slovakia’s most striking natural scenery.
Start the day with a relaxed breakfast, then enjoy the freedom to explore Slovakia your way. Whether you’re in the mood for culture, relaxation, or a bit of adrenaline, we’ve got you covered. Unwind in a thermal water park and spa, step back in time with a visit to the majestic Spis Castle, or opt for a more active day with rafting and cycling through the stunning landscapes of Pieniny National Park. The day is yours to shape—relax, discover, or get your heart racing.
After breakfast, we head back into the breathtaking landscapes of Slovak Paradise National Park for another day of unforgettable hiking. This route winds through narrow gorges, along cliffside paths, and past cascading waterfalls—with ladders, walkways, and dramatic viewpoints adding an extra spark of adventure. Covering 13 km with a gradual 320-meter ascent over roughly 6 hours, this experience strikes the perfect balance of excitement and accessibility. A packed lunch will keep you fuelled as you journey through one of Slovakia’s most iconic natural wonders.
After breakfast, we set out to explore the wild beauty of the Low Tatras National Park. This full-day hike takes you through expansive alpine meadows, peaceful forests, and along panoramic ridgelines with sweeping views of Slovakia’s mountain landscapes. With a 900-meter ascent over 15 km and a duration of 7–8 hours, it’s a rewarding adventure for those who love a steady challenge. Along the way, we’ll pause for a packed lunch in the fresh mountain air—an ideal moment to recharge and take it all in.
After a week of exploring mountains, forests, and breathtaking national parks, it’s time to say farewell. Enjoy a final breakfast together before we assist with departure transfers. You’ll head home with tired legs, a full heart, and lasting memories of Slovakia’s wild beauty.
Exceptional trip! Fantastic fun, and so well organised. The accommodation was very good, and the trip as a whole was brilliantly run. I would thoroughly recommend Alena and Tatra Escapes to anyone.
This was my second trip with Tatra Escapes. It is very rare for me to book a similar holiday twice, but the first time was so good that I wanted to repeat the experience; and I was definately not disapointed. Alena the host is extremely competent. She is friendly, flexible very attentive and willing to “go that extra mile” to make your experience truly special. She is bilingual (Slovak and English) and knows the area like the back of her hand. She has a network of equally brilliant contacts in Poprad, which means that from the accomodation to the walks to the optional extras everything is truly top quality and there is nothing of the “mass produced” feel about the holiday.
For example the huskies were brought out especially for our small group of 6; same with the snowshoeing; it is a full day activity with a knowledgable fully bilingual and friendly leader/guide exclusive to us 6. Obviously a reasonable level of general fitness is required ( the holiday I went on was the winter walking one). However I am in my 60’s and though I regularly walk 5 or 6 miles I am by no means a “fitness freak”, and I managed the snowshoeing and all but the most challenging walk.
The accomodation is a 5 minute walk away from a fantastic thermal water spa. On the day of the harder walk I had already planned to spend a day there, enjoying the wonderful hot outdoor pools and all the water jets. It is easy to spend 4 or 5 hours there and so this was a great option for me. I am sure had I wished then Alena would have come up with an equally suitable alternative for me.
As I say everything is very flexible and Alena is very accomodating. I would recommend this holiday to anyone who wants a truly special and unique experience amongst magnificent scenery with warm and friendly hosts; not to mention the hearty and very tasty Slovak food which is all available at more than reasonable cost.
Everyone who came on this trip came alone; in my opinion it is definately something you can do on your own , though I know she also organises holidays for couples and ready made small groups etc according to your situation and interests.
