Chopok Jasná - The Largest Ski Resort in Slovakia in the Low Tatras

Chopok Jasná is undoubtedly the largest and one of the most modern ski resorts in Slovakia. It is located in the Low Tatras and offers a wide range of slopes, high-quality snowmaking, and excellent conditions for skiing and snowboarding. With more than 50 km of slopes of varying difficulty, from blue to black, the resort is suitable for skiers of all levels, from beginners to experienced professionals. Chopok Jasná spans both the northern and southern sides of the Low Tatras. The southern side receives more sun during the colder months, making skiing conditions more pleasant in harsh winters. On the other hand, the northern side is colder, allowing snow to last longer. Even in the spring months, when snow melts elsewhere, the northern side of Chopok still has plenty. On the southern side of Chopok, you will find well-known hotels such as Srdiečko and Kosodrevina. Enjoy the breathtaking views of nearby peaks such as Ďumbier, Gápeľ, and Poľana. On clear days, you can even see the High Tatras from the summit of Chopok.

Skialpinism and Ski Touring in Jasná

The Low Tatras offer excellent conditions for skialpinism and ski touring, with one of the most popular areas being Jasná and the Dereše massif. This location is known for its diverse terrains that cater to both beginners and experienced ski mountaineers. The usual starting points are parking lots in Jasná or from the south in Krupová and Srdiečko, from where you can ascend towards Chopok and Dereše.

Marked ski touring routes lead to Chopok from both sides – north and south. The northern route starts in Jasná and passes through beautiful mountain landscapes with views of the Low Tatras ridge. The southern side offers two possible routes: a shorter one from Srdiečko through Kosodrevina, Zadné Dereše, and then to Chopok, while a longer one starts in Krúpová, providing an even more intense ski touring experience. Ski touring routes along the ski slopes are marked and subject to fees.

For those seeking free ski mountaineering tours, adjacent peaks like Ďumbier, Poľana, Gápeľ, Chabenec, or the Low Tatras ridge can be explored. Ski mountaineers often use freeride zones as well. Ascents in the Dereše basin are very challenging and are intended only for experienced skiers. It is crucial to monitor avalanche conditions and carry avalanche safety gear. Jasná and its surroundings provide ideal conditions for winter adventure enthusiasts and rank among Slovakia's top ski touring destinations.
