WARNING: Mountain itinerary. It is recommended that it be carried out by people who have good control over the use of GPS or topography APPs and who have knowledge of orientation.
Whoever uses and monitors all or part of these routes, their tracks and their additional information, assumes full responsibility for the risks inherent to the practice of the activity, since this information is for guidance purposes only.
REMEMBER THAT ONLY WE KNOW OUR LIMIT. FIRST OF ALL, SAFETY MUST PRICE

NOTE OF INTEREST:
We left the Tatry Holiday Resort, in Velki Slavkov, at 7:45 a.m. to have breakfast at the U SEPTIMA, at the entrance to Podrad (€5 pax - buffet style) well attended and served. We were so comfortable that some of us even had coffee again. After breakfast we headed towards the JASNÁ Ski Resort in the Low Tatras. Arriving at the station we took the van up to the barrier of the SOREA SNP hotel (WP No. 1), it is 10:00 am. After passing the hotel barrier, we go down the track-trail a few meters (WP No. 2) to the Biela Put track (WP No. 3) where we put on our skis and where we are going to begin to ascend.
We immediately found signs that mark the path to follow for backcountry skiers.
Once we reach the first crossroads, we turn to our left, heading SE, ascending the left side, in the direction of travel, of the track, which does not have a gentle slope. This track leaves us in the Priehyba power plant area (WP Nº4). We meet and take the track on our right in the S direction, Pretekárska Lukova - Preihyba, we ascend the left side of the E track, in the direction of travel, and a steep slope for about three hundred meters and ninety meters of difference in altitude to leave the track (WP No. 5) in a SSE direction in a heavy diagonal (WP No. 6) until reaching the junction with a new track (WP No. 7), upon reaching it we turn to our right in a WSW direction, we advance about 100 meters on that direction and we leave it again (WP No. 8) to trace several “zetas” in a SSW direction and ascend about one hundred and forty meters to reach a new junction with a track (WP No. 9). At this intersection we turn to our left, SSE, and advance along the track in that direction for about two hundred and seventy meters and gaining another forty meters of elevation gain. We reach a new track junction where we turn to our right in a SSW direction and advance until we reach the junction with the main track of the “Priehyba-Chopok” station. We advance from this place along the left side of the track in the direction of the march and steep slope. To our left in a SSE direction we see the summit of Chopok.
We reach the “Priehyba-Chopok” motorway, where there is a large cafeteria with panoramic views. Without removing skins we descend a few meters in a SE direction to reach the NW pass of Chopok (WP No. 10). Here we remove skis and put on crampons, take the ice ax and ascend the last thirty meters of the NNW slope of the 2024 meter high Chopok peak (WP No. 11). Whether or not to put crampons on depends on each person, but safety takes precedence over everything else.
After the required photographs, we descend to the hill along the same route, pick up crampons and ice axes and put on our skis again to climb the “Priehyba-Chopok” motorway where we prepare to descend.
We descend along the “Priehyba-Chopok” track, heading north, the snow is very transformed with some nice bits. We reach the Priehyba area, we turn to our left to descend to the Biela Put track and along it we reach the path where we begin our ascent to CHOPOK. It has been four hours from the time we left the parking lot until our arrival at it.
