A cottage with a Goral atmosphere in the Pieniny Mountains

The Pieniny Chalet is located within the Pieniny National Park and offers facilities for relaxation, sports, lodging, and exploring Goral traditions. It is ideal for visitors who want to combine a stay in nature with regional cuisine and cultural experiences.

The menu features traditional dishes, Goral specialties, hot and cold beverages, light snacks, and the chef’s specialty—smoked trout. Facilities include a 52-seat restaurant, a 20-seat lounge, a 200-seat summer terrace, a 50-seat Goral “zbojnícka koliba” (traditional mountain hut), a conference room, and shelters.

The lodge also offers opportunities for active recreation. Guests can enjoy the wellness center, sauna, swimming pool, tennis, beach volleyball, hiking trails, and mountain biking. Popular activities also include trips to Szczawnica, Poland; a visit to the dam and castle in Niedzica; or a walk along the Dunajec River from Lesnica to Červený Kláštor.

One of the greatest experiences is a rafting trip down the Dunajec River through the canyon of the Pieniny National Park. The atmosphere is enhanced by folk music and the traditional “Goral” initiation ceremony.

Everything You Need to Know Before Your Trip

Answers to the most frequently asked questions about the High Tatras region.

    Once in a while, we'll send you the best.

    The High Tatras have something to offer all year round. The best time for high-altitude hiking is from June to October, when the hiking trails at higher elevations are open. Fall brings more stable weather, pleasant temperatures, and beautiful views. Winter is ideal for skiing, winter walks, and visiting locations that are accessible year-round. Before setting out on a trip, always check the current weather conditions and any trail closures.

    You do not need a special permit for regular hiking on marked trails. However, you must comply with TANAP’s visitor regulations and seasonal closures, and you may only hike on open trails. Special rules apply, for example, to rock climbing, ski mountaineering, hiking off marked trails, or bringing a dog into the park.

    You can easily reach the main Tatra resorts by train. The Tatra Electric Railways connect Poprad, Starý Smokovec, Štrbské Pleso, and Tatranská Lomnica. A cog railway runs from Štrba to Štrbské Pleso. You can also take advantage of regular bus routes and seasonal shuttle services in the region.

    You can park in designated parking lots in the various Tatra villages. During peak periods, we recommend using the P+R park-and-ride lot at Eurocamp in Tatranská Lomnica and continuing by shuttle bus. From this parking lot, you can take public transportation to destinations such as Tatranská Lomnica, Tatranské Matliare, Biela Voda, or the Belianska Cave.

    For hiking, choose sturdy hiking boots with non-slip soles that stabilize your feet and protect them on rocky or wet terrain. Your gear should also include weather-appropriate clothing and a rain jacket. Sandals and regular city shoes are not suitable for more demanding hikes.

    When a storm is approaching, leave peaks, ridges, saddles, mountain passes, and open areas as soon as possible. Descend to lower elevations, avoid standing near isolated trees or metal objects, and keep your distance from other members of your group. If possible, take shelter in a mountain hut or a safe building. The best prevention is to check the weather forecast, set out early in the morning, and shorten or cancel your hike in a timely manner if conditions take a turn for the worse. Safety must take precedence over reaching your destination.
