Hrebienok
The upper station of the Starý Smokovec funicular, a starting point for several trails in summer, and in winter home to sled runs and the Tatra Ice Cathedral ice sculptures.
Hrebienok sits at about 1,285 m. A ground-level funicular takes about 7 minutes from Starý Smokovec, and it is the gateway to trails leading to the Studená dolina waterfall, Téryho chata, Zbojnícka chata and more. The station has a restaurant, a viewpoint and a children's play area. In winter the site hosts the 'Tatra Ice Cathedral' (Tatranský ľadový dóm) ice sculpture exhibition, which changes theme every year, along with night sled runs and beginner ski slopes. Return fares are not expensive, but queues in the morning can be long during peak season.
