15 tabs open in your browser? How to plan a Tatras trip without losing your mind

You know the pain? A long weekend is coming up. The decision is made: we are going to the Tatras! You sit down at the computer and the drama begins. In one tab you have a trail map, in another the weather forecast. In a third you are trying to find a room near Kuźnice, in a fourth you are hunting for thermal bath tickets (in case it pours), and in a fifth you are saving nice trail photos to show your friends in the morning.

An hour later you have 15 tabs open, your computer is screaming, and you have forgotten where you saw that nice, cheap guesthouse.

I decided that planning a holiday should not feel like working in the accounting department. That is why a few new features have landed on Taterki.eu, to pull your trip into one logical whole.

1. Found a trail? Book a stay nearby (No more searching)

Say you are reading the route description for Czerwone Wierchy. You know the start is in Kiry, so there is no point sleeping at the other end of Zakopane (for example on Cyrhla) and losing an hour in morning traffic.

Now, right next to the trail descriptions, you will find a quick Booking.com search. You click and the system immediately suggests stays that make logistical sense for that hike. Fast, convenient, and without typing “accommodation near Dolina Kościeliska” into Google ten times. (Small bonus: if you book through a link from my site, I get a virtual coffee towards keeping the servers running, and you do not pay a penny more!).

2. Plan B: When it is pouring in the mountains (Tickets without the queue)

The mountains are a lottery. You plan a climb of Świnica, and in the morning you wake up to a wall of rain. Time to salvage the day.

Thanks to a new connection with GetYourGuide, you can now grab tickets for local attractions straight from our site.

• Want to go to Chochołowskie Termy and skip the giant queue at the till?
• Looking for a sleigh ride, a museum, or a guided trip to Slovakia? You can sort it all from your phone, sitting in your room with a morning coffee, while the rest of the tourists get soaked in the ticket line.

3. “I will do it next year” (A virtual dream board)

This is my favourite new feature. You often read about a trail in November (for example Szpiglasowy Wierch), you know you will not go there in winter, so you think: “I will do it in summer!”. July arrives, and for the life of you you cannot remember the name of that pass.

No more lost-link syndrome. From now on, photos on our site (just hover on a computer, or press and hold on a phone) show a magic Pinterest button (Save / Pin it). One click pins the trail photo to your own virtual dream board. Then before the holiday you simply open Pinterest and you have a ready list of trails “to do”.

I built Taterki.eu to make mountain life easier for you. I hope that with these upgrades, planning your holiday turns from a chore into a pleasure.

Click, book, and see you on the trail!
