Tourism

Malá and Veľká Fatra belong to the most beautiful Slovak mountain ranges. Tourists are attracted by hiking tours, 58 marked footpaths with total length of 480 kms mix both easy and demanding paths during walking on the mountain pathways and unique alpine mountain edges. The most favourite are the trips to unique Gaderská and Jasenská dolina, Martinské Hole or Šútovský vodopád (waterfall). The view of the gorges offers marvellous experience, from deep valleys you climb up to the hills to watch the view you will love.
