Description

Guided mountain tour from the Sliezsky dom hotel (1670 meters AMSL) to Gerlachovský štít (2654 meters AMSL). Descent to Batizovská dolina.

Gerlachovský štít is the highest peak in the Carpathian Mountains, hence in the entire High Tatra mountain range.

Notes and recommendations

Moderately difficult climbing, yet in no place above UIAA II+ on the normal route in my estimation.

There are no markings for the mountain is off-limits for normal tourists.

I would highly recommend wearing a helmet, if you are part of a guided mountain tour you need of course additional equipment such as harness and rope.
