Lawinowy Szczyt (2,606 m a.s.l.) is the fifth highest peak in the Slovak High Tatras — a rugged, rocky summit that rewards only those willing to tackle it with a licensed mountain guide. If you are looking for a genuine alpine challenge with sweeping panoramas over the heart of the Tatras, this is your destination.
The peak stands in the main ridge of the High Tatras, between Popradský Ľadový štít and Východná Vysoká, forming a prominent point on the northern ridge of Zadný Gerlachovský štít. Together with Lavínová veža it creates a characteristic twin summit. The slopes tumbling down towards Velická Valley are notorious for frequent avalanches — and that is exactly where the peak got its name, coined by mountaineers at the beginning of the 20th century. From the top, a full circular panorama opens up: countless High Tatra summits, the northern part of the Belianske Tatry ridge, the Orava Beskydy, the Low Tatras, Volovské vrchy, Branisko, and many peaks across southern Poland. In winter, this world of rock and ice becomes even more austere and awe-inspiring.
How to reach the summitThe first summer ascent was made on 26 July 1904 by Janusz Chmielowski, Klemens Bachleda, and Stanisław Stopka — a milestone in Tatra climbing history. The first winter ascent followed on 22 March 1936, completed by Pavel Krupinský and Matthias Nitsch.
