This is a great opportunity to spend the weekend actively, even a little extreme. We’ll climb rocks, admire the beauty of the mighty mountains, and, of course, climb the highest peak in the High Tatras and the entire Carpathian system – Gerlachovský štít (2,655 m).
This program is a great way to prepare for climbing in the Alps, for example: Mont Blanc and Matterhorn. In addition, after the trip you will gain skills that will be useful in the high mountains of the Caucasus, Nepal, etc.
