Kôprovský štít, Mountain summit in High Tatras, Slovakia
Kôprovský štít is a mountain peak in the High Tatras with steep rocky slopes and granite rock formations. The terrain shows dramatic vertical walls and distinct stone structures that define the landscape throughout.
The peak was first climbed in the late 1800s, opening this area to organized mountaineering activities. Those early ascents established the climbing routes and traditions that define the region today.
This peak holds deep meaning for Slovak mountaineers as a classic route through the High Tatras. The local climbing community views it as part of their alpine heritage and tradition.
The ascent from Štrbské Pleso demands solid physical fitness and proper climbing gear for safety. Weather can change rapidly in the mountains, so planning your visit with current conditions is essential.
From the summit you can descend to Veľké Hincovo pleso, the largest natural lake in Slovakia's portion of the Tatras. The lake sits far below in a completely different mountain landscape than the rocky approach.
