During the winter closure, you can enjoy easy hikes to either Hrebienok, Tatranská Polianka or Batizovské Tarn, as long as there is no continuous snow cover on the route. Approximately 20 km of marked trails are set out every winter in the alpine environment, only accessible to hikers up to the alpine huts. Therefore, when visiting the Tatras, it is necessary to bear in mind that the hiking trails ending on the peaks of the Tatra peaks are closed, except for Slavkovský Peak, which, according to the TANAP visitor regulations, is accessible at times when there is no snow cover.
Before your tour, always inquire about the current weather and the condition of the trails at the Mountain Rescue Service or the Tourist Information Centre in Stary Smokovec. In winter, you can reach Sliezsky Dom by hiking trails from Tatranská Polianka, Starý Smokovec, and Tatranské Zruby.
