Jamska Kopa (2,079 m) is a remote summit in the Slovak High Tatras, tucked away in the side ridge known as Jamská Grań. It's a peak for those fascinated by the wilder, untouched corners of the Tatras — because no marked trail actually leads to its top.
Jamska Kopa closes off the Jamská Grań ridge from the south, branching off from the summit of Krótka. The mountain has two summits separated by the Jamský Zárez notch, with its lower slopes covered in extensive scree and rockfall, while the summit dome itself is rocky and grassy. At its foot lie two small, scenic tarns — Skryté pleso and Zatratené pleso — whose names reflect the secluded character of this part of the Tatras. The surrounding Važecká dolina (Važec Valley) is part of a strict TANAP nature reserve, keeping the area wild and largely inaccessible to casual hikers.
How to reach the summitThe name Jamska Kopa comes from a terrace known as Jamy, and the peak is sometimes mistakenly referred to as Zadní Handel.
