Lomnické sedlo is open to tourists during the and winter summer season. The trip from Skalnaté pleso to the saddle can only be made on foot with a mountain guide or by chairlift. A cosy walk runs from the saddle along a green-marked hiking trail to Mt Veľká Lomnická veža (2,215 m), an amazing viewpoint and the highest peak of Lomnický hrebeň (ridge), which is easily accessible even for families with children thanks to the chairlift. When walking around there, one can stop at the location where the mountain hut of the main characters of the cult films Medená veža and Orlie pierko (Eagle Feather) stood, and if you’re lucky, you might spot marmots grazing in the meadows as they are native to this area.
When looking from Mt Veľká Lomnická veža to the east, one can see the smooth slope which in winter becomes the most attractive and steepest black piste in Slovakia. The Poprad basin can be seen perfectly from there and views reach as far as the distant peaks of the Slovenské Rudohorie Mts. The steep and rocky western slopes descend into the depths of Malá Studená dolina (valley), bordered on the other side by jagged Prostredný hrebeň (ridge). Majestic Mt Slavkovský štít with its typically rounded summit silhouette can be admired from Lomnické sedlo in full splendour.
How to get to the Tatranská Lomnica resort
Drive comfortably to the Tatranská Lomnica resort, from where a 6-seater chairlift operates to the Štart interchange-station, and from there, a modern 15-person gondola cable car continues to Skalnaté pleso.
