Route description<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The route is located on the northern side of the Low Tatras in the Dem\u00e4novsk\u00e1 dolina (Dem\u00e4novsk\u00e1 valley), which is a very popular tourist area, but just a short distance from the cable cars and tourists, this area enjoys reduced resort buzz. The Po\u013eana Saddle is also such a case, and it is no less interesting that the other spots. It lies on the main ridge between Dere\u0161e and Po\u013eana peaks. From the Saddle there are nice views not only of Chopok – Jasn\u00e1, but also on both sides of the Low Tatras ridge (Horehronie and Liptov).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>The trip is not recommended for beginners,<\/strong> it is necessary to be used to movement in alpine unimproved, free terrain. Crampons are rarely needed and it is usually possible to walk the entire route on ski mountaineering skins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Way up<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The route starts in Jasn\u00e1. It is most often possible to go up on skins from the Marmot Hotel (formerly \u0160verma). The route leads through the valley of Zadn\u00e1 voda, copying the yellow trail marking mostly. A wide forest path gradually alternates sidewalk. It is steep in places and crosses the stream several times. The more snow, the easier the ascent. <\/p>\n\n\n

\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About three kilometers later, the path leads to the narrow valley, the forest slowly turns sparse and the views of Dere\u0161e, Po\u013eana Saddle and Bory appear. The route continues through a wide wold, which gets gradually steeper and continues directly into the Saddle. In the upper parts of the ascent, the inclination exceeds 30\u00b0. The direct track up at this point is already alternated by ski mountaineering turns, the so-called zigzags. The ridge and the section just below it are often wind-blown onto a hard surface, so in the case of bad conditions it is necessary to use crampons.  In terms of avalanches, the last section is the most dangerous, because it is the steepest. The summit is a large platform, suitable for walking, but it is often windy here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should you be interested to\ncontinue, the route can be extended towards Dere\u0161e and Chopok peaks. More\nexperienced skiers can then try the steep slopes of the Dere\u0161sk\u00fd kotol and\nreturn to the starting point of the route through Otupn\u00e9. Those less\nexperienced can continue along the ridge to Chopok and use the piste for\ndownhill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Way down<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Leads along an identical route, the\nfirst section the steepest is, but it is a wide slope that invites to enjoy\nlong ski curves. At the descent, the most critical section is the knee timber\nzone and the entrance to the forest, where there is little room for maneuvers\nand it also can get bumpy sometimes. Spots to cross a stream can also be\ndangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the case of powder conditions,\nskiing among the trees is great. The same applies to the ascent, the more snow,\nthe easier the descent. The end is just a descent along a forest road.<\/p>\n\n\n
