Roháče is just one part of the Western Tatras, the major mountains in Slovak Republic. Roháče (about 260 km²) is part of TANAP (Tatranský národný park – High Tatras national park) since 1987. Core mountain massif is composed of granite and crystalline rocks, formed in the Palaeozoic. Roháče is a very popular destination for mountain lovers. Excellent snow conditions mean that the mountain is much visited in winter, but there are lots of tourist paths you can hike during summer as well.
