Malá Fatra, Mountain range in northwestern Slovakia.
Little Fatra extends across 72 kilometers with two sections divided by the Váh River, featuring limestone formations, deep gorges, and alpine meadows.
The region experienced significant changes during the Wallachian colonization from the 15th to 17th centuries when shepherds established permanent settlements.
The traditional Slovak sheep cheese production continues in Zázrivá, maintaining centuries-old dairy processing methods in the mountain communities.
Nine ski resorts operate in the area, with Vrátna and Kubínska offering slopes for beginners through advanced skiers across multiple elevations.
The Dierový potok stream created an intricate system of canyons with the Šútovo Waterfall dropping 38 meters through limestone rock formations.
