Śnieżny Szczyt, Mountain peak in High Tatras, Slovakia
Śnieżny Szczyt is a 2,465 meter (8,087 feet) summit in the High Tatras with a distinctive flat tooth-like shape. The peak rises between neighboring mountains and requires technical climbing equipment to reach.
The first recorded ascent took place in 1902 when mountaineers succeeded in reaching the summit. This marked an early milestone in the exploration of the High Tatras.
The summit holds meaning for mountaineers across the region as one of the High Tatras' most demanding challenges. Climbers view reaching it as a significant achievement within Slovak alpine traditions.
Climbing this peak demands experience, professional equipment, and a certified guide due to technical challenges. Weather can change rapidly in the mountains, so timing your attempt during stable conditions is important.
The mountain has a distinctive flat tooth shape and sits at a location where water flows in different directions. One side channels water northward while the other side feeds rivers in the southern lowlands.
