Description

Join me for this beautiful 3-day ski touring traverse in the Tatras Mountains. We will follow the Tatranska Haute Route and discover the hidden spots of this beautiful region.

The High Tatras is part of the Carpathian Mountains. We will be near the border between Slovakia and Poland. The ski touring terrain is extremely varied, making for rewarding ascents and long descents. Besides, as you travel these slopes you will enjoy the amazing landscapes that this region offers.

This program is ideal for skiers who wish to get the basics in ski touring and learn the safety techniques. It’s also a good preparation for future long ski touring traverses in the Alps.

We will ski around 30km, do 3000 meters of vertical gain and the same distance skiing down. You can find details about the program below.

Please get in touch with me if you wish to know more about it and leave with me within the awesome range of the Tatras. It will be my great pleasure to guide you there and let you discover a region which I know so well! If you are looking for a longer adventure in the Tatras, check out this 10-day backcountry ski tour!

Mountain Guide

IFMGA / UIAGM Mountain guide
I was born in 1969 in Ostrava. When I was a child, my parents and I spent most of our free time and weekends in our cottage in Beskydy in the countryside. I started skiing when I was very young, we went to Moravian and Slovak ski resorts. In 2010 I successfully passed my IFMGA exams and I became an official mountain guide. I’m also a photographer and a graphic designer. I’m guiding my friends and clients mainly in the Tatras Mountains. Please feel free to contact me if you wish to discover this beautiful region, during the summer or the winter. We can go hiking, climbing, mountaineering, skiing...together.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
