One of the most important spa towns in the High Tatras
Vyšné Hágy is located between Štrbské Pleso and Starý Smokovec, at the foot of the slopes of Končistá, Batizovský Peak, and Gerlachovský Peak. The settlement was founded in 1881 as a small tourist resort. After the construction of a large medical facility, its character gradually changed, and Vyšné Hágy became one of the most important spa towns in the High Tatras.
The dominant feature of the village is the National Institute for Tuberculosis, Pulmonary Diseases, and Thoracic Surgery in Vyšné Hágy. Construction began in 1934, and the medical facility opened in 1941. The institute provides specialized diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis, respiratory diseases, and other chest conditions. Vyšné Hágy is also connected to the Tatra Electric Railway and, via a hiking trail, to the Tatra Main Trail and Batizovské pleso.
What We Offer
What do you need to know before you arrive?
Please read this before your visit
The National Institute in Vyšné Hág is a specialized medical facility, not a spa or wellness center open to the general public. Medical examinations and admission for treatment are governed by the institute’s guidelines, and patient visits are subject to the rules of the respective department.
A marked hiking trail leads from the village to the Tatra Main Trail and on to Batizovské Pleso. Before setting out, check the current weather, trail conditions, and any seasonal restrictions.
Vyšné Hágy has a stop on the Tatra Electric Railway as well as bus service. Since the range of services available directly in the village is limited, be sure to bring your own food, drinks, and necessary supplies in advance.
