Frequently asked questions

I try to give you as much information as possible before you get in touch. If you still have unanswered questions, please write to me.

I have many years of experience moving in high mountains in Slovakia and abroad. I am an active member of the international UIMLA association of mountain guides. Your safety is my priority, even in unexpected situations. During the hike I will share interesting facts about the route, stories from the mountains, and answer your questions.
If you have chosen a specific date and location, send me the details by email. I will also need your billing information (name, address, phone number), or company details if applicable. I will issue an invoice and only after payment will I reserve and confirm your date. If anything is unclear, I will contact you.
After confirming your reservation, I will contact you. I will send detailed information about the ascent, required equipment, and meeting time by email. The day before the scheduled date we will review everything and confirm by phone.
There is currently no fixed limit on group size. The number of guides depends on the group size — I will take care of that; you don’t need to worry about anything.
Yes. If it involves a peak outside my scope, I will point you to the right people.

Yes. Individual pieces of equipment can be rented. I will inform you in advance about what is needed.
Yes. The price includes short-term mountain insurance covering mountain rescue in Slovakia. To arrange insurance I need the first and last name, date of birth, email, and phone number of all participants.
If I assess the weather on the planned day as unsuitable, we will reschedule the ascent. If no new date works for you, a refund is possible. More in the general terms and conditions.
The minimum age for a child on any ascent is 8 years. The child must be in good physical condition and have experience with high-altitude hiking. I do not offer discounts for children.
All information about cancellation fees and reservations can be found in the general terms and conditions.
