Description of the route: Ascent to the tallest peak of the West Tatras with unusual view of the High Tatras. Demanding high-mountain tour with big elevation difference and several steep ascents and descents. The summit parts of the Bystrá Mt. and Blyšť Mt. are a bit confusing in bad weather. The paths are closed in winter season. The Bystrá Mt. will pay you the toil by unique views of the near Kriváň Mt. and other landmarks. You will certainly notice the difference in shapes between the taller rocks of the High Tatras and shorter West Tatra mountains with grassy tops.
