Trails of Tatranska Lomnica
The resort is divided into two ski areas: Skalnate Pleso - for trained skiers and Jamy - for beginners.
In Lomnicka Saddle on the wide, sloping slope there are excellent "black" tracks for downhill and giant slalom. The width of the slope is 300-500 m, and its length reaches 2000 m. There is usually first-class snow and skating is guaranteed until early May. A little above the frozen lake of Skalnate Pleso there are short slopes that you can recommend to less experienced and novice skiers.
From Skalnate Pleso goes the descent of medium complexity. The 3300 m long trail with a height difference of 730 m terminates at the intermediate station of the Pendant cable car "Start". From this station down to the side of the village of Tatranska Lomnitsa there is a descent of 2600 m with a drop of 270 m.
The Yami ski center is equipped with two drag lifts. The tracks here are marked with blue and red colors and are designed for both beginners and experienced athletes. They are served by snow cannons and are lit from 18:00 to 21:00.
