Location and access
The Téry Hut is located at the altitude of 2015 meters above sea level in the upper part of The Small Cold Valley near the tarns called 5 Spišských plies. The Hut is a favourite tourist destination thanks to its year-round operation and a relatively easy access from Starý Smokovec.
PEAKS and VALLEY
The Téry Hut provides you with beautiful views of numerous peaks surrounding the Small Cold Valley. You have a direct view of the second highest peak of The High Tatras – Lomnický Peak (2633 m) and only a few meters lower Pyšný Peak (2621 m).
The Small Cold Valley is ended by the 2627 m high Ľadový Peak. The Valley meets the Great Ice Valley in The Baranie sedlo (2389 m) just beneath the peak Baranie rohy (2526 m).
We should definitely mention the peak Široká veža (alt. 2461m) stretching across 3 neigbouring valleys, i.e. the Small Cold, the Great Cold and the Javorová.
The peaks Prostredný hrot (2240 m) and Žltá stena (2182 m) rise above the hut dominating the valley.
