I remember hiking along Studeno Dolina last year and seeing one of these guys walking along, pack twice the size of him, in shorts with a dog. Couldn't believe my eyes. Followed him for about half a mile before he cut through what looked to me like impassable terrain. We carried on, tried following the main path but got lost after a bank of fog and snow rolled in behind us. Ran into 3 other hikers also lost on the same trail and we decided to stick together and try and press on to Skalnata Chata. I was in front. The path we were meant to be following was snowed over. The only thing we could see were the 2/3 inches of each tree top sticking out. I wasn't sure if we were higher up the mountain than we should've been or not but after about 10 minutes I spotted a darker patch ahead. It was a footprint. We followed these as the only sign we could see. I had a feeling it must be the sherpa and, sure enough, it ended up tracing these all the way to the cabin. Stopped off at the hut there and asked the one guy there if he'd seen this man. He'd already dropped off the supplies and left. It was still snowing outside. We had the best beer of our lives in that cabin and we all had to bumsled our way down the mountain on the ski slope to get down before sunset.

The porters of the Karakoram mountains in Pakistan have a much, much, much harder time. They carry more weights, without much equipment, for a trek of about 14 days through some of the most inhospitable places on earth. They live a life of extreme poverty and are often only tipped a few dollars for carrying climbers' equipments for two weeks, and paid very poorly by their employers. I encourage you to search about them.

So happy to see this! I'm from neighbouring Hungary and have been to the beautiful high Tatras many times - I've always had massive respect for these guys. The intense focus you can see on their face and the way they keep their pace absolutely steady really shows how hard this work must be. Sometimes there were smaller packs just placed by the side of the trail for any tourist to carry up if they wanted a challenge (any I remember seeing some of those abandoned on the way...) If you ever go there, don't expect to find any rubbish bins in those mountain huts - what you take up, you take down with you :)

I met some of them when I hiked across Tatra couple of years ago. One that I met was bringing 80 kg on their back when he was taking a break. He told me plenty of stories about how he trains every summer that way. It's pretty mind-blowing their strength was, mentally and physically. I was starstruck and in awe, as I will always be.

We stayed in Kosice, Trencin and Bratislava; enjoyed the smaller cities more. Public transport is the way to get around; the journey by train is magnificent with the fall colors. Our son speaks Slovak-so he acted as our guide. We already live in a very mountainous region; and I don’t want to downplay the Tatras--they are indeed beautiful, but we are already well versed with rugged mountains and hiking based on where we live.

A perfect job for a man who loves the mountains. They used to use similar porters at the low Tatras to supply the Stefanik hut. At the end when Stefan arrived to the goal of the sherpa rally and they greeted him with "super, Pista", I could not believe my ears. It seems the nickname of Stefan/István is Pista in both Slovakian and Hungarian. A new thing I learnt. 👍

Everytime domestic and foreign tourists wonder about the stores of supplies in Tatra chalets, and the prices for meals so high in the mountains, they should remember we still bring them up there via mountain porters. Not with noisy helicopters. All of the waste is also brought down purely by mountain porters. In this sense, Slovakia was far ahead of its time when it refused to abandon the mountain porter tradition. These days, everyone is recommending this mountain porter tradition as a prime example of ecotourism-friendly management of chalet resupply. (This is all the more improved and bolstered now that Tatra chalets have made an effort over the past few decades to be refurbished as environmentally-friendly as possible.) Slovakia and Japan are one of the few countries in the world that are keeping the chalet mountain porter tradition healthy and alive.

The Tatra are amazing. I have only seen them from the Polish side though. I once man-packed equipment to the top of hill in Scotland to service a generator for a mobile phone base station (tools, consumables, spill kit, new oil, waste oil back down). Not as heavy as Stefan's load though. Most of the route was through the forest so the wind wasn't too bad but there was no path so it was rough. It saved a lot of money for the customer but I was told not to do it again: "If you do that then they'll expect us all to do it." So it was back to paying over £1000 for a helicopter!

Tatras - so underestimated, mostly by tourists which think they're 'little mountains'. Like in every mountain range, one has to be very cautious. And this mountain refuge sit at 1960 meters above sea - one of the few located up there in the Tatra clouds.

So weird to hear a Slovak guy being dubbed into English, it's usually the other way around. I don't want to imagine what would happen if people doing this would retire. And they will... sooner or later. But actually any tourist can try to do this - in summer there are 2kg bags or potatoes or small paskages of bottled water prepared near the "lower" hut that are accessible by car and if you carry the load up to the hut, you get a tea or a soup for free.
