Hrebienok is one of the most popular mountain resorts in the High Tatras — a scenic plateau at 1,285 m above sea level, perched right above Starý Smokovec, where hiking trails branch out toward some of the range's most spectacular corners. This is the starting point for unforgettable treks, and the views toward Slavkovský štít grab your attention the moment you step off the cable car.
In summer, Hrebienok buzzes with hikers heading toward the Malá Studená and Veľká Studená valleys or the Cold Stream Waterfalls, surrounded by spruce forest and granite ridges that make you feel deep in the wilderness despite being just a short ride from town. In winter, the area transforms into a cozy ski resort with a slalom run and lifts, while the floodlit toboggan run draws families after dark. Whatever the season, Hrebienok keeps an easygoing mountain vibe — perfect for a short stroll or as a launchpad for a demanding summit hike.

Fun fact: the first hard-surfaced road here dates back to 1894, and the funicular has been running since 1908 — for over a century, Hrebienok has been the gateway to the finest corners of the High Tatras.
