Description of the route: Comparatively demanding tour with toilsome ascent and big elevation difference. High-mountain environment in the area of the summit. Orientation is easy. 
More than thousand metres of elevation gain is worth the toil, as the view of the Carpathian landscape from the Veľký Choč Mt. is recognised as one of the finest in Slovakia. If the weather is favourable, you will immediately understand why the place is so unique.
