Itinerary
Tour Plan
We will meet at your preferred pick-up location in the morning and drive together to the Vrátna Valley in the Malá Fatra National Park. From there, we will take the cable car to Snilovské Saddle, where our ridge hike begins. Following well-marked mountain trails, we will walk across one of the most scenic sections of the Malá Fatra ridge towards Poludňový Grúň, enjoying spectacular panoramic views throughout the day. We will stop at a traditional mountain hut for refreshments or lunch before descending through forests back to the Vrátna Valley. The descend is physically challenging due to steepness and length.
After the hike, we will drive you back to your preferred drop-off location.
