Chairlift trip to Lomnické sedlo (saddle)

2,190 m a.s.l.

Enjoy a walk on the roof of the Tatras at Lomnické sedlo (saddle) located at the altitude of 2,190 metres. A 4-person cable car runs from the lower station in Tatranská Lomnica to the Štart interchange-station, from where a new modern 15-person gondola cable car operates to Skalnaté pleso, the upper station, and also the transfer station to Lomnické sedlo. From there, you can take a renewed, more comfortable black-and-silver chairlift with leather upholstery to the upper saddle part. This is where the iconic Slovak film Medená veža (Copper Tower) was filmed in 1970. 

Lomnické sedlo located at the altitude of 2,190 metres is an amazing vantage point. To the east, a smooth slope stretches out, which in winter becomes the most attractive and steepest black piste in Slovakia. One can see the Poprad basin from there perfectly and the views reach as far as the distant peaks of the Slovenské Rudohorie Mts. A fully different landscape can be seen on the opposite side. The steep and rocky western slopes descend into the depths of Malá Studená dolina (valley), bordered on the other side by jagged Prostredný hrebeň (ridge). Majestic Mt Slavkovský štít with its typically rounded summit silhouette can be admired from Lomnické sedlo in full splendour.

Lomnické sedlo is open to tourists during the and winter summer season. The trip from Skalnaté pleso to the saddle can only be made on foot with a mountain guide or by chairlift. A cosy walk runs from the saddle along a green-marked hiking trail to Mt Veľká Lomnická veža (2,215 m), an amazing viewpoint and the highest peak of Lomnický hrebeň (ridge), which is easily accessible even for families with children thanks to the chairlift. When walking around there, one can stop at the location where the mountain hut of the main characters of the cult films Medená veža and Orlie pierko (Eagle Feather) stood, and if you’re lucky, you might spot marmots grazing in the meadows as they are native to this area.
