The Tatras, located on the border between Poland and Slovakia, are the highest
mountain range in the Western Carpathians, standing out from other mountain
ranges in Europe due to their unique character. The Tatras are an absolute
must-visit for any active tourist who loves mountains.

The Pearl of the Carpathians








UNIQUE GEOLOGY AND LANDSCAPES

The Tatras are the only alpine-type mountains in Poland. Their rocky peaks,
sharp ridges, and deep valleys differ significantly from the more gentle
mountain ranges of Central Europe. The highest peak in the Tatras – Gerlach at
2655 meters – is located on the Slovak side, while the highest peak in Poland is
Rysy at 2499 meters. These majestic mountains are covered with snow for most of
the year, giving them a rugged yet incredibly beautiful character.


The Tatras are home to many unique species of plants and animals that cannot be
found anywhere else. Endemic species include the Tatra chamois, Tatra marmots,
and rare plant species such as the Tatra scurvy-grass. The Tatras also feature
many glacial lakes, the most famous of which is Morskie Oko – one of the most
beautiful mountain lakes in Europe.




EXTRAORDINARY BIODIVERISTY

The Tatras offer a wide variety of hiking trails of varying difficulty, from
easy walking paths to challenging climbs. Popular routes such as the trail to
Kasprowy Wierch or the Kościeliska Valley attract tourists from all over the
world. For more experienced hikers, the trail to Orla Perć presents a true
challenge.


HIKING TRAILS ON EVERY LEVEL
