In the summer, the visitors are invited to enjoy the marked hiking trails leading up to the summits of Chleb, Stoh, Veľký Rozsutec and Veľký Kriváň.

Vrátna with its magic environment is one of the most popular places in Slovakia. Varied and unique fauna and flora, breathtaking views, canyons, streams and waterfalls. Vrátna and its surroundings offer endless choices of choosing hiking trips – from walks in the meadows covered with flowers to demanding hiking trips. Enjoy the stunning rocky cliffs of Tiesňavy Gorge with ´Zbojnícky chodník´ (´Highwaymen´s Trail´) and ´Janošíkove diery´ Gorge full of beautiful waterfalls and steep cliffs towering above them.

Nordic walking

This way of walking originated in Scandinavia where it was primarily used by cross-country skiers. It differs from the athletic walking mainly in the fact that it is performed with specially designed walking poles similar to ski poles. Using poles results in smaller tension in the area of the cervical (neck) spine, the stimulation of triceps, chest muscle, trapezius muscle and latissimus dorsi muscle.

Professional scooters in Tiesňavy Gorge

A new way of entertainment and an undemanding means of transport for all age categories. Scooters are ideal for recreational downhill riding, but even adrenaline enthusiasts will enjoy such a ride. The scooters are specially adapted – a larger frame, the wheels adjusted to riding down a winding path and reinforced brakes. The brakes enable the rider to ride at a walking pace as well as at a higher speed, it all depends on the rider´s choice. Basically it is a simple activity, however, when riding at 30 km/h your adrenaline level rises dramatically and having arrived at the finish you will have realized that one single ride just won´t do!

Mountain biking

Go for cycling, set off on a cycling trip combined with off-road cycling. Get a breath of fresh air and recharge your batteries in the stunning Vrátna Valley, a synonym for a cyclist´s paradise. We rent mountain bikes and can recommend from one-hour to half-day or all-day cycling trips for recreational as well as adrenaline cyclists.
