Climate therapy

Clean air in the Tatras is supported actively by the woods which are the basic element of climate therapy. This is why there are 200 times fewer bacteria in the High Tatras when compared to cities. A dust-free environment full of fragrant essential oils recharges everyone’s batteries with energy and health.

Appropriate altitude is very important for the climate therapy. Staying in an alpine environment and clean air can boost the blood circulation and also breathing. The High Tatras are tailored to regenerate the body organs and the body itself.

Positive changes in our bodies are the result of not only sunshine but also of lower atmospheric pressure. Even a short walk around Štrbské pleso (tarn), where the pressure is similar to the Alps and the altitude of 3,000 metres, can do miracles.

The climate in the Tatras combined with active movement works as a complex therapy. And climate therapy is closely related to altitude. Clean mountain air supported by the forest and sun rays is a real cure for the body and mind.

Already in the late 19th century, it was discovered that there are more sunny days at higher altitudes on inversion days in the Tatras. This meteorological phenomenon causes dirt particles to remain in the fog layer above the towns so that the air on the tourist trails in the Tatras is absolutely clean.

The High Tatras are typical for high sunshine values, i.e. about 1,817 hours per year on average. The healing rays of the Sun with strong ultraviolet radiation are a 15x stronger competition for the city climate. Simply said, the sunrays in the Tatras can heal.
