Skialpinism is a winter sport that is becoming increasingly popular in the world and in Slovakia. Even in Snowparadis, skialpinists have many options, but they have their rules.
In the resort there are three set exit routes with a total length of about 4300 m. The possibility of output is from the sites Dedovka and Lalíky. All these routes are indicated on the map of the resort .
For the sake of general safety, it is very important to follow the rules of skialpinism.
In the rental company, located directly next to the cable car in Dedovka, you can rent complete ski equipment (skis, ski boots, belts, sticks).
