A land blessed with more than its fair share of natural beauty, a land of snowy mountains, wild forests, spas and lakes.

Each year, tourism has grown, making the prospect of buying properties, flats and houses in these resorts very attractive indeed.

Slovakia is best known for the raw beauty of its countryside: mountains make-up two-thirds of its land, of which forests cover 40%. More than 10000 kilometres of hiking trails zigzagging the country, and dozens of ski centres draw sportsmen from around the world in the winter. There are nine national parks in Slovakia.

The High Tatras

The High Tatras Mountains with its 24 peaks more than 2,500 metres high are the king of the hills of Slovakia. They run 25 kilometres from East to West forming the Tatra National Park. It is the largest national park in the Slovak Republic, established in 1949. There are 110 lakes, or mountain tarns and many waterfalls and caves in the park. In terms of commercial tourism, the High Tatras is the most developed region in Slovakia offering the widest range of facilities for downhill and cross-country skiing, hiking and all-year-round recreation. There are health resorts here as well as the popular holiday resorts of Štrbské Pleso, Starý Smokovec and Tatranská Lomnica. Downhill skiing and snowboarding fans can choose from a large number of ski resorts in the High Tatras, with a wide range of pistes for skiers of all abilities. Parents will appreciate the ski school services for children, offered during the whole winter season in all ski resorts. The High Tatras have a dense network of well-marked hiking trails of various difficulties through the most beautiful Tatra valleys. The Tatras are a paradise for rock climbers and mountaineers. There are many marked and maintained trails for mountain bikes.

The unique natural environment of the Tatras offers all-year round outdoor activities for visitors of all age groups whether they are active sportsmen, senior citizens or families with small children. That`s why the resort of High Tatras was the place of the 1970 World Nordic Skiing Championship and a candidate for the 2014 Winter Olympics. Some of Slovakia’s best ski trails are to be found here and fans of activities such as; hiking, rock climbing, bungee jumping, mountain cycling, horse riding, paragliding, swimming or rafting will be very happy here also. The High Tatras form a natural border with Poland. The biggest city of this area – Poprad with its international airport is just 5 km away from the major ski resort of High Tatras. Slovakia and its neighbouring countries of Poland, Czech Republic and Hungary entered the European Union in 2004. Poland has a population of 40 million and only one major ski resort to satisfy its demand for winter sports. There is no ski resort in Hungary. The prosperity which has arisen from EU integration has fuelled the huge demand for winter sports, and the High Tatras being only a short drive from the major population centres of Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest and Krakow has become one of most sought after investment destinations in this country. A future project by the biggest ski lift company in Slovakia, TLD, which will be completed in two years time, will definitely reach the standards of the ski resorts of Austria and Switzerland. This region isn’t famous just for its ski facilities. It is also famous for the biggest golf course in Slovakia located in Velka Lomnica.

At the base of the High Tatras there are three major ski resorts connected to one another via an efficient train shuttle system. In this way, you can easily ski one resort in the morning and another in the afternoon. Most ski slopes in the High Tatras face south and are above 1,000 meters. The most popular with advanced skiers and the best equipped is the resort of Tatranska Lomnica which has the best lift systems in the High Tatras including a detachable fourperson gondola. The other two base areas are Strbské Pleso and Stary Smokovec. The first is a category blue ‘beginner’ and the second is category red ‘intermediate’ according to the European ski rating system.
