Visit the most popular tourist destination – Skalnaté pleso, located at the altitude of 1,751 metres. An orange 6-seater chairlift runs from the lower station in Tatranská Lomnica to the Štart mid-station, from where a new, modern 15-seater gondola continues up to Skalnaté pleso. The area around the tarn is perfect for walks or hikes. Nearby, at the altitude of 1,786 metres, you can find an astronomical and meteorological observatory. The observatory was founded in 1943, when its first observations were made. It also houses a planetarium. You can relax and soak up the sun at one of the highest-altitude restaurants in the High Tatras – Skalnaté pleso restaurant, whose sunny terrace offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding rocky peaks or Slovakia's steepest ski piste – Lomnické sedlo (saddle).
