Ski areas nearby include Hrebienok, Tatranska Lomnica, Zdiar, Strednica ski area and Strbske Pleso, which is the Tatras' main ski resort and also features a beautiful lake of the same name. It is the best equipped skiing center in High Tatra, with slopes, trails, ski jumps, ski lifts and tows, as well as being a spa center for treatment of allergies and upper respiratory tract ailments. But the crowds can be intense around Strbske Pleso, and the natural beauty is in danger of being overrun with giant hotels, so you may want to sample a more subdued, less developed area. In contrast, Tatranska Lomnica is the quietest of the High Tatra resorts, and also headquarters for the national park. You can take a rather exhilarating cable car ride from Tatranska Lomnica up to a lake and winter ski resort called Skalnate pleso, and then continue up to 2632 meter summit of Lomnicky stit, and view breathtaking vistas across the Tatras jagged crest.
