Skrajne Solisko (2,117 m a.s.l.) is a characteristic triangular pyramid towering over Štrbské Pleso. It is one of the most easily accessible 2,000-metre peaks in the Slovak Tatras, to which no chains lead.
💡 In a nutshell – Skrajne Solisko in a nutshell:
- For whom: For anyone with reasonably good fitness. No precipices or chains.
- Logistics: The times above count the walking route from the lake. If you want to save 3 hours and your knees, take the chairlift to the hut (Chata pod Soliskom).
- With a dog: Yes, this is Slovakia. You can hike with a dog on a lead.
- Important: The trail from the hut to the summit is closed for winter (from 1 November to 31 May).
The route is divided into two completely different stages: a tedious approach to the hut (which can be bypassed by taking the chairlift) and a short but steep climb to the summit itself.
Trail description: On foot from Štrbské Pleso
The figures at the top of the page show the 100% walking variant, starting and finishing in the town of Štrbské Pleso.
Stage 1: Along the lift to the hut
We start from the lake and join the blue trail.
- The path leads along the ski slope and under the cables of the chairlift.
- This is the most monotonous and tiring part of the trip. We walk steeply uphill all the time. After less than 2 hours we reach Chata pod Soliskom (1,840 m a.s.l.).
- Tip: You can skip this stage entirely by buying a ticket for the chairlift (Soliskový expres). The chair will take you right to the door of the hut in a dozen or so minutes.
Stage 2: Summit push (Red Trail)
From the hut to the summit leads the red trail.
- It is only a 50-minute walk, but the path is very steep. It climbs in zigzags over stones and boulders.
- There are no chains here, but in several places you have to lift your leg high.
- After covering 285 metres of elevation gain, we stand on the summit of Skrajne Solisko.
Stage 3: Summit and return
- Views: From the summit you can perfectly see the massive Krywań massif, the Furkotská Valley and the Mlynická Valley. Below gleams the surface of Štrbské Pleso.
- The descent takes exactly the same route. If your knees hurt, you can take the chairlift down from the hut.
Logistics and warnings
- Trail closure: The red trail (from the hut to the summit) is closed from 1 November to 31 May! In winter a ski resort operates below the hut, but climbing to the summit is illegal.
- Insurance: You are in Slovakia. The rescue operations of Horská služba are 100% payable. You must buy one-day mountain insurance.
- Dogs: You can take a dog on a lead on this trail (as one of the few high-mountain trails in Slovakia).
Who is this absolutely NOT for?
Do not attempt the summit with a pushchair (the pushchair will only reach the hut terrace via the lift). Do not think that because there is a cable car here, climbing to the summit is a “walk in the park” – the red trail is steep and stony. If you are looking for a higher peak in this area (but longer and more difficult), choose Krywań.

Questions
Is 4 h 27 min from the lift?
No. The figures at the top of the page count walking from Štrbské. The chairlift to the hut is in the table. Red to the summit remains, 50 min up.
Are there chains? Can I take a pushchair?
No chains. A folded pushchair will go up the chairlift to the hut terrace. To the dome: stones and zigzags.
When is the trail closed?
Red to the summit from 1 November to 31 May. The hut and chairlift may run in winter — that is skiing, not the summit.
Can I bring a dog?
Yes, on a lead. This is Slovakia. Insurance for Horská služba anyway.
How high is Predné Solisko?
Predné Solisko is 2117 m above sea level.
Skrajne Solisko: how long does it take?
Start: Štrbské Pleso, finish in the same place. The whole route is 10 km and takes 4 h 27 min of walking without breaks, with about 855 m of ascent. Add time for rests and photos.
