Lodowa Kopa (2,602 m a.s.l.) ranks among the ten highest peaks of the High Tatras — a rugged, remote summit that rewards only those who come prepared and guided. Wild granite walls, sweeping ridgeline views and the genuine feel of an alpine challenge make this one of the Tatras' most compelling objectives.

The peak sits in the main High Tatras ridge between Ľadový štít (2,627 m) and Široká veža (2,462 m), and features two summits — a higher north-western top and a slightly lower south-eastern one. The terrain is steep and unforgiving: the southern face drops into the Dolinky pod Sedielkom valley, while the eastern slopes fall towards the Basin of the Five Spis Lakes, home to the famous Téry Hut. On a clear day the summit offers a full circular panorama stretching across the High Tatras peaks, the Belianske Tatry ridge, deep mountain valleys, and on exceptional days even distant ranges of central and eastern Slovakia and southern Poland. In winter and spring the summit is heavily iced and prone to avalanches; even in summer the rock can be wet and treacherous — this is a demanding mountain year-round.

• Tatranská Javorina — green trail through Javorová Valley towards Téry Hut (nearby), then ascent to the summit only with a licensed mountain guide; difficulty: very demanding, technical

• The summit lies within the Tatra National Park and two national nature reserves — access without a licensed guide is prohibited by law.
• Many climbing routes lead up the popular southern face, with the hardest reaching grade VI difficulty.
• Téry Hut in the Basin of the Five Spis Lakes is the closest mountain hut — a good base for an overnight stay before the climb.
• The nearby Sedielko pass is crossed by the green-marked trail connecting Tatranská Javorina with Téry and Zamkovský huts.

The first ascent was made in 1903 by J. Chmielowski, K. Jordán, J. Nowicki and K. Bachleda via the south-eastern ridge — a milestone in the early history of Tatra mountaineering.
