Veľký Šturec, Mountain pass between Greater Fatra and Low Tatras National Parks in Ružomberok District, Slovakia.

Veľký Šturec is a saddle at 1,010 metres in the main ridge of the Greater Fatra, between Krížna (1,574 m) and Zvolen (1,402 m), on the eastern foot of the Šturec hill. It lies on the border of the Žilina and Banská Bystrica regions and of the Ružomberok and Banská Bystrica districts, where the cadastral areas of Liptovské Revúce, Motyčky and Staré Hory meet. A mountain road with sharp hairpin bends links the Revúca valley with the Starohorská valley.

The mountain pass has served as a transport route since the late 15th century and was used to move ore from Staré Hory to distant markets. Its historical importance lies in its role as an established trade route connecting different regions.

The pass lies on the route of the Way of the Heroes of the Slovak National Uprising, part of the long-distance E8 trail, so hikers pass through it between Zvolen and Krížna. The saddle also marks the meeting point of the cadastral areas of Liptovské Revúce, Motyčky and Staré Hory, and the border between the Žilina and Banská Bystrica regions.

The pass is accessible via a paved road from Liptovské Revúce and features directional markings for hikers and cyclists. A bus connection to Vyšná Revúca provides a practical option for visitors traveling without a car.

The pass lies on the border between the Žilina and Banská Bystrica regions and between the Banská Bystrica and Ružomberok districts. Three cadastral areas meet here: Liptovské Revúce, Motyčky and Staré Hory. The saddle sits on the eastern foot of the Šturec hill, below the peaks Krížna and Zvolen.
