Interesting facts
1

The cable car line to Lomnický Štít was one of the most technologically advanced projects in Central Europe at the time of its completion in 1941.

2

The system operates in two distinct stages: the first stage reaches Skalnaté Pleso, and the second stage requires a transfer to a separate cabin for the final ascent to the peak.

Lomnický Štít is the second highest peak in the High Tatras, with the summit housing an active meteorological and astronomical observatory.

Overview

This station serves as the lower terminal for the aerial cableway connecting Tatranská Lomnica to Skalnaté Pleso and Lomnický Štít. Located in the High Tatras, the station acts as the primary gateway for high-altitude transit into the peaks. It is a hub for both summer hikers and winter skiers accessing the surrounding slopes. The facility supports technical maintenance for the multi-stage lift system that reaches an elevation of 2,634 meters. It is situated within the administrative area of Vysoké Tatry, Slovakia.

Insider tips

Book your tickets online in advance, as capacity is strictly limited for the final stage to the summit.

Check the real-time weather webcams at the summit before heading up, as clouds often obscure visibility at high altitudes even if the valley is clear.

What to avoid

Attempting the ascent during high-wind warnings, which will result in the suspension of the cable car service.

Good to know

Operations are subject to frequent suspension due to high winds or severe weather conditions; check official site for daily status.

Etiquette

Wear sturdy, closed-toe hiking boots regardless of the season, as mountain paths are rocky and unpredictable.
