An accessible peak above Štrbské Pleso
The hike begins at Štrbské Pleso, near the lower station of the chairlift. The trail initially winds through a forest, but gradually transitions to a rocky surface with stone steps. After about an hour and a half, you’ll reach Chata pod Soliskom, where you can rest and have a snack.
From the lodge, the red-marked trail continues to Predné Solisko. The final section leads through open mountain terrain over rocks, scree, and, in places, unpaved surfaces. The summit offers views of Štrbské Pleso, Kriváň, the Furkot Valley, and the Mlynická Valley.
