Jasná is one of the most popular destinations in Slovakia, whether in summer or winter. At the same time, it is an ideal place not only for lovers of skiing and hiking, but also for those who are planning a trip with their grandparents.
We also recommend trying our barrier-free cable car, which takes you from the Biela púť to the Rotunda. Breathtaking views and great food will make hot summer days more enjoyable. On the southern side of Chopok, you can have fun on mountain carts, which are great family fun.
And don't forget about our events such as Bandits at the Priehyba sheep farm on 13th July or Behind seven mountains taking place on at Biela Púť on 6th July.
During the summer, you can look forward to various attractions and events that offer great outdoor fun, such as the electric mini train in Biela Púť and the highest-located sheep farm in Slovakia – Priehyba sheep farm, where you can see a rare sheep breed – Wallachian sheep.
The resort offers many easily accessible trails suitable for all ages and physical conditions. Beautiful natural scenery can be admired when walking comfortably around Vrbické pleso (tarn) or along gentle forest paths. The trails are well-marked and safe, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable hiking experience. What’s more, Jasná has various relaxation zones and picnic spots where you can rest and recharge your batteries. For families with children or older people, these easy hikes are an ideal way to enjoy the beauty of the Tatra nature without excessive effort. There are easier valley walks or more challenging climbs to mountain peaks to choose from.
Rear snowmaking lakes
An easy walk around three snowmaking lakes offers beautiful views of the mountains in winter as well as summer. The lakes are located within the resort and are easy to find if you walk from the Grand Jasná Hotel past the Liptov Hotel. This option is also suitable as a trip with grandparents, an off-road pram or a dog.

This wooden lookout has two floors and a total height of about 7 metres, offering beautiful views around. It can be reached in about 20 minutes following the yellow marked trail from Biela púť past the Ostredok Hotel. It is named after a mountain rescuer and the initiator of its construction.
