Skiers and visitors of the ski resort in Tatranská Lomnica can not only enjoy great spring skiing but also participate in the grand opening of the second grilling season on the sunlit restaurant terrace in Skalnaté Pleso. Stylish means of transport will be available again, including two 15-person cable car cabins with “house and rock” music played inside. However, this is not everything as for the music. The Jánošík Svit folk band will be performing live in Skalnaté Pleso, where there will also be an ice bar and delicious grilled delicacies served. Children can look forward do attractive animations in the children´s indoor park of the Chamois Land, various competitions and workshops.
The ski slopes in the resort of Štrbskom Plese offer 100 cm of snow and very good conditions. Tatranská Lomnica has ideal conditions as well – with 55 – 70 cm of snow on the pistes and 120 cm of natural snow in the saddle of Lomnické sedlo. Operators of the mountain resorts hope the ski season in the Tatras could last until the end of April in good weather.
