Tatranska Lomnica

I suggest checking out the ski-pass deals online before hitting the slopes. I saved a ton on a multi-day pass, and it’s way easier than buying them on-site.

I recommend trying the local food at the mountain huts. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality, and it wasn't as pricey as I thought it would be

If you’re planning to snowboard, hit the slopes by 9 AM. The fresh powder is unbeatable, and you'll avoid the crowded lifts later in the day.

If you're skating, check for any free skate days. I stumbled upon one and what a blast—great to have free access and enjoy the rink without the cost!
Bachledka Ski & Sun

My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks. The on-site food options can be pricey, and a few sandwiches can really help you save!

If you are planning a full day of fun, go for the all-day ski pass. It saves you a bundle compared to buying individual ones, trust me.

I suggest checking the snow reports before going. There were a few days when the conditions were not as great as expected, and it affected the experience.
Skok Waterfall
Strbske Pleso Ski Resort

I recommend getting your lift pass online before you go. It saved me a ton of time at the kiosk. Just get there early to avoid the rush.

I think popping into the nearby thermal pools after a long day of skiing is a must! One great way to unwind, just make sure to check the hours!

If you're renting gear, look for deals at local shops instead of the slopes. I ended up paying way less by wandering into a shop in the village.

My advice is to pack a small lunch or snacks. The on-mountain food can be pricey and not always the best, so it helps to bring your own.
Skicentrum Strednica

If you're into snowboarding, try the afternoon sessions around 2 PM. The crowds thin out, and you'll have more space on the slopes to enjoy your ride without constantly dodging other people.

I recommend buying a day pass if you plan to hit the slopes multiple times; it can save you quite a bit compared to buying individual runs. Plus, the lifts move pretty fast!

I think stopping by the local cafes for lunch is a great idea! You can find some delicious traditional Slovak food at a much better price than at the resort's eateries. Plus, it's a nice break from skiing!
High Tatras
Krivan

If you’re on a budget, check out local supermarkets in nearby towns for snacks and lunch instead of eating at touristy spots. You’ll save some serious cash!

i suggest downloading a hiking app that works offline; reception can be spotty up there. i relied on my phone’s map, but it was useless once the signal dropped!
Zelene Pleso
Priecne Sedlo

If you're planning to hike in the early morning, definitely pack some snacks for a mini picnic at the top. The view during sunrise is worth so much more when enjoyed with a hot coffee and a croissant from home.

Invest in a good pair of hiking poles if you’re not used to the terrain. They saved my knees on the steep descents and made the experience much smoother.

Make sure to download offline maps before your trip. Cell service can be spotty up there, and I got lost a couple of times trying to navigate without one.

Bring cash for the local huts; they often don’t take cards. I regretted not having enough when I wanted to grab a hearty meal halfway through my trek
Lopusna Dolina

My advice is to explore the less crowded trails after lunch. We found some hidden gems that were just as beautiful but way less busy—perfect for taking some amazing photos!

Consider taking a few lessons if you're new to skiing or snowboarding. I did this, and it totally made my experience more enjoyable and safer.

If you're on a budget, pack your own snacks and drinks. The prices at the on-site shops can be a bit steep, so save some cash for the slopes instead!
