‘I would recommend this holiday to anyone who wants a truly special and unique experience amongst magnificent scenery with warm and friendly hosts; not to mention the hearty and very tasty Slovak food which is all available at more than reasonable cost. Everyone who came on this trip came alone; in my opinion it is definitely something you can do on your own.’

Meet Alena – the founder of Tatra Escapes
Hi, my name is Alena and I'm the founder of Tatra Escapes - UK based company offering authentic active travel packages to Slovakia. We focus on the Tatra Mountains region and its surroundings.
I was born and bred in Tatra Mountains, Slovakia. From a young age, I often hiked with my parents in the mountains or surrounding areas and national parks. I was led by my parents and taught about nature, forests and mountains, and mainly how to behave responsibly in those environments.
The idea to create Tatra Escapes came from my passion for showcasing Slovakia and its beauty to the world and passing on my knowledge from the childhood. I am also convinced that people in this day and age need to get back to the ground/nature, leave the technology behind for a moment and get active in the most natural settings.
A true local with passion to support local communities, undeniable local knowledge and love for Slovakia!

Maverick Mums Founder & Adventure Host
At 23, when I left alone for East Africa, I had no idea how much it would change and shape the rest of my life. To this day the best thing I have ever done was to quit my job spontaneously, and travel overland from Nairobi to Cape Town. The experience pushed me out of my comfort zone, opened my eyes, helped me grow in confidence and empowered me to be the person I believe I was truly meant to be. I finally felt comfortable in my own skin. It made me feel truly alive! From that point travel and adventure, particularly in Africa, became a huge part of my life.
I believe that by sharing real stories and experiencing real adventures, together we can help change the future for ourselves and for our daughters.
Slovakia has been on my radar for some time now, and I love the idea of a winter adventure, sledding, snowshoeing, hiking and husky sledging in such a stunning location. Also, I love having an adventure to look forward to in Winter time - hope you can join us!
