Ľadový štít

With an elevation of 2627 meters above sea level, Ľadový štít is the third highest peak in the High Tatras and a popular mountain guide climb.

Ľadový štít is situated between Mal adov tt and Zadn adov tt on the main ridge of the High Tatras. It is separated from the Zadný Ľadový štít by Ľadová priehyba a známy Ľadový kôň – a length of around 20 meters of narrow rock slabs. It gained its name from Ľadová dolina, which runs from Javorová dolina into the northern slope of this summit and stores snow all year. The mountain itself does not have snow all year.

Due to the Tatra National Park's visitation guidelines, travelers can only reach the peak with the assistance of a mountain guide. Climbers from any climbing organization can reach the summit through any route more demanding than UIAA II.

Most people start their trek to the top at Téry's cottage, where they can stay a day ahead of time. For those with more energy, it is possible to begin climbing in Starý Smokovec and one day ascend to its summit before returning to Starý Smokovec.
