<\/span>From skis and bicycles to skimo and hiking boots, every sport presents a new challenge and a wealth of inspiration. Miriama Kov\u00e1\u010dov\u00e1 is a child of the mountains, a keen sportswoman, and a popular social media influencer from Liptov. She started out by sharing stunning photos of her mountain adventures, but soon she turned her passion into a profession. Besides showcasing the beauty of the Tatras, she also aims to advise fellow adrenaline seekers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Mountains and sports are closely linked, yet not everyone falls in love with them enough to spend nearly the entire year pursuing these activities. What\u2019s the big draw for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growing up among the mountains naturally creates a bond with the peaks around you and the breathtaking landscape of Liptov. Although I didn\u2019t actively seek them when I was little, my interest grew during secondary school and especially at university. My parents introduced me to hiking and skiing, and then I began exploring other activities, first climbing, and subsequently ski mountaineering and cycling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Your photos and videos suggest you thoroughly enjoy your time in the mountains. How did the idea come about to promote them on a larger scale?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first, I only occasionally posted a nice photo of the mountains or nature on social media after a good hike, solely with the aim of pleasing friends and family. Their responses were positive and many of them said this motivated them to spend more time outdoors. As my following grew, everyone expected me to keep posting, and I saw no reason not to. I believe that positive influence on healthy activities and appreciation for the mountains is always beneficial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>What started as a hobby gradually became a career, leading you to work for MTHIKER, where you write articles about outdoor sports and create educational videos. Was this transition as smooth as it seems?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Believe me, it was quite challenging at first to stand in front of the camera and speak smoothly. My initial attempts were less than perfect, but I got used to it, and now we don\u2019t need to repeat each sentence multiple times (laughs). Sharing knowledge about safe practices in the mountains, what to pack for a trip, where to find information, and how to prepare for hiking, skiing, or climbing has become a natural extension of my interests. Having studied these topics at university, I\u2019ve combined pleasure with practicality. However, I always recommend beginners seek professional instruction. Mistakes early on can be difficult to correct later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Recently, you became an ambassador for the Liptov Cycling Region and you\u2019ve developed a taste for more adrenaline-fuelled cycling. What\u2019s it like to explore this beautiful part of Slovakia on two wheels?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cycling offers a fantastic way to experience and visit many of Liptov\u2019s attractions in a relatively short time. These days, tourists can rent e-bikes, which is ideal for those who may not be extensively trained but still wish to go on longer rides. New trails and options are added every year, making Liptov an excellent destination for cycling enthusiasts. I\u2019ve recently discovered the thrill of single trails \u2013 one-way routes through forests with various obstacles. The first was opened three years ago above Vlkol\u00ednec, but my favourite spot is Hradsk\u00e1 Hora near Liptovsk\u00fd Hr\u00e1dok, since it has trails offering stunning views of Kriv\u00e1\u0148. There are trails there that are suitable for both beginners and advanced riders. But for that you need a slightly better and, most importantly, well-suspended bike for the jumps. The easier trails can be handled by anyone, even on an ordinary mountain bike. The newest trail, above Liptovsk\u00fd Mikul\u00e1\u0161 in H\u00e1j-Nicov\u00f4, is suitable for all ages and abilities. It\u2019s another interesting trail. I am already looking forward to paying frequent visits there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>You studied sports and physical education teacher training at Matej Bel University. Do you incorporate any of your teaching training into your mountain adventures?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Living in the mountains means outdoor activity is part of my routine. It\u2019s different when you just visit occasionally and try to fit everything into a window. I think being a teacher has to be in your blood. I initially took a course to be an instructor for artificial climbing walls and, later, natural rock faces. I wanted to learn proper techniques and expand my knowledge so that I could explain safety and skills to others. I started climbing informally with friends, but knowing I\u2019m doing things correctly gives me a much better feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>With your extensive experience in Liptov, are there any specific places you particularly enjoy returning to?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Absolutely. For hiking, I particularly enjoy \u010cere\u0148ov\u00e1 Skala. It\u2019s not the most challenging of routes; it takes about 45 minutes at a leisurely pace. But the views of the entire region, Liptovsk\u00e1 Mara, and the Low and Western Tatras are well worth the effort. For climbing, I prefer Machnat\u00e9 in Dem\u00e4novsk\u00e1 Valley. Many heading to Jasn\u00e1 pass by this area, but few realise it\u2019s an excellent spot for climbing. The rock formations accommodate both advanced climbers and beginners, including children \u2013 who have their own designated area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Most adrenaline sports involve overcoming challenging goals and experiencing that rush of euphoria. What motivates you in the mountains?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t set myself challenging or dangerous goals. My focus is on the journey and the people I share it with. For climbing, my toughest route I tackled was abroad, while at home, it\u2019s a climbing area within a large cave arch, with a view of Chopok in Repisk\u00e1, in Dem\u00e4novsk\u00e1 Valley. Generally, I don\u2019t focus on performance. My aim is to return safely from each trip. Mountains are unpredictable and unforgiving of mistakes. Especially in winter, you have to be cautious, and I try to share this message with occasional tourists. It\u2019s important to be aware of your surroundings. When the weather changes rapidly, it\u2019s often wiser to return than to risk unnecessary danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>The recent pandemic sparked a boom in ski mountaineering, we might even say a nationwide craze. Even since the resorts have reopened, adherents of the sport can still be seen on the ski slopes. Is this safe, or do you recommend that beginners stick to different routes?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0We all have to start somewhere with this sport. Many find the route to \u017diarska Chata appealing \u2013 it\u2019s relatively wide and is covered in snow for most of the winter. Having said that, my advice to beginners would be to start by considering their skiing skills. Ascending a hill is one thing, but descending safely is another. Skiing on much lighter skimo equipment can be more challenging than on regular skis, especially in difficult terrain with deep snow. Even really good skiers will work up a sweat. There is the option of booking a few lessons with an instructor to master the basics. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s anything wrong with starting on ski slopes, as many resorts, such as Jasn\u00e1, now have designated or off-track routes for beginners. If everyone adheres to the resort\u2019s rules, it\u2019s a safe and ideal way to get acquainted with the sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Winter often means skiing for many tourists. Do you still enjoy this sport even when you\u2019re surrounded by throngs of people?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tranquillity of the mountains certainly has its appeal, but I\u2019ve been skiing since kindergarten and have no intention of giving it up. For the past four years, I\u2019ve bought a season pass for TMR resorts, allowing me to fully enjoy the best ski terrains in Slovakia. At the start of the season, I aim to ski as much as possible to build endurance for ski mountaineering and avoid muscle burnout. Skiing down a challenging slope in one go can be strenuous, and the legs need reconditioning after a long summer. Fortunately, Jasn\u00e1 and the High Tatras offer a wide selection of freeride routes, allowing me to practise in open terrain as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>The ski gopass also grants access to water parks and a whole world of relaxation and regeneration. Do you take up of those options?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being from Liptov, I have Tatralandia and Be\u0161e\u0148ov\u00e1 right on my doorstep. I\u2019ve been visiting both parks since I was little, and now I can go regularly thanks to the season pass. My university classmates in Bansk\u00e1 Bystrica inspired me. Many of them bought a season ski pass every year and enjoy several months on the slopes at a discounted rate. I asked myself, living right under Chopok, why I didn\u2019t have one. Since I started buying one, I can easily drive to a water park in the evening and enjoy the water or wellness. It\u2019s been a fantastic choice for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>When it comes to mountain sports, you\u2019ve probably tried everything, and physical activity is your lifestyle. Do you also have days when you stay home and spend time indoors? Can you even relax?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Definitely. I\u2019m not the sort of person who exercises daily and follows strict fitness plans, with the exception of the beginning of winter when the first snow falls and I head into the terrain with my skimo gear. After a long summer, I can\u2019t get enough of the snow. I sometimes get out there twice a day (laughs). However, if it\u2019s raining, I\u2019m not the type to push myself to exercise. I have no problem staying at home for a few days and resting. The same goes for summer during heatwaves. I don\u2019t want to subject my body to overheating and I never go into overdrive. I\u2019d rather hunker down somewhere shady and go rock climbing than scramble up some heavy hill, which I\u2019m sure I wouldn\u2019t enjoy in the heat. My motto is that you also have to know how to laze around.<\/p>\n\n\n

Ly\u017ee, bicykel, skialpy, ale aj oby\u010dajn\u00e9 turistick\u00e9 top\u00e1nky. \u010co \u0161port, to nov\u00e1 v\u00fdzva a z\u00e1rove\u0148 mno\u017estvo novej in\u0161pir\u00e1cie. Mlad\u00e1 Lipt\u00e1\u010dka Miriama Kov\u00e1\u010dov\u00e1 je die\u0165a h\u00f4r a zanieten\u00e1 \u0161portovky\u0148a, z ktorej sa stala popul\u00e1rna influencerka na soci\u00e1lnych sie\u0165ach. Najsk\u00f4r z potuliek po hor\u00e1ch zverej\u0148ovala len kr\u00e1sne fotografie, nesk\u00f4r v\u0161ak svoju z\u00e1\u013eubu premenila na \u017eivobytie. Popri prezentovan\u00ed tatransk\u00fdch kr\u00e1s sa v\u0161ak najm\u00e4 fan\u00fa\u0161ikov adrenal\u00ednu sna\u017e\u00ed aj vzdel\u00e1va\u0165.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hory a \u0161port s\u00fa dve spojen\u00e9 n\u00e1doby. Nie ka\u017ed\u00fd si ich v\u0161ak zamiluje nato\u013eko, aby v nich tr\u00e1vil takmer cel\u00fd rok. \u010co v\u00e1s k nim pri\u0165ahuje?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ke\u010f sa na ne odmali\u010dka pozer\u00e1te, akosi prirodzene si k okolit\u00fdm kopcom a prekr\u00e1snej liptovskej pr\u00edrode vytvor\u00edte puto. V detstve som ich pr\u00edli\u0161 nevyh\u013ead\u00e1vala, ale od strednej a najm\u00e4 vysokej \u0161koly sa to za\u010dalo meni\u0165. Rodi\u010dia ma s\u00edce viedli k turistike a ly\u017eovaniu, no videla som, \u017ee s\u00fa aj in\u00e9 mo\u017enosti a tak som postupne za\u010dala sk\u00fa\u0161a\u0165.

Najsk\u00f4r som len ob\u010das po vydarenej t\u00fare pridala na soci\u00e1lnu sie\u0165 nejak\u00fa pekn\u00fa fotku h\u00f4r alebo pr\u00edrody. Chcela som \u0148ou pote\u0161i\u0165 okruh bl\u00edzkych a kamar\u00e1tov. V\u0161etk\u00fdm sa to p\u00e1\u010dilo a mnoh\u00ed z nich sa mi ozvali, \u017ee ich t\u00fdm motivujem tr\u00e1vi\u0165 \u010das akt\u00edvne na \u010derstvom vzduchu.

Zo z\u00e1\u013euby sa postupne stalo zamestnanie a za\u010dali ste pracova\u0165 v redakcii MTHIKER, pre ktor\u00fd p\u00ed\u0161ete \u010dl\u00e1nky o outdoorov\u00fdch \u0161portoch a pre fan\u00fa\u0161ikov pripravujete aj vzdel\u00e1vacie vide\u00e1.

Moja v\u00fdhoda je, \u017ee v hor\u00e1ch b\u00fdvam a preto beriem pohyb v nich ako rutinu.

From skis and bicycles to skimo and hiking boots, every sport presents a new challenge and a wealth of inspiration. Miriama Kov\u00e1\u010dov\u00e1 is a child of the mountains, a keen sportswoman, and a popular social media influencer from Liptov. She started out by sharing stunning photos of her mountain adventures, but soon she turned her passion into a profession. Besides showcasing the beauty of the Tatras, she also aims to advise fellow adrenaline seekers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mountains and sports are closely linked, yet not everyone falls in love with them enough to spend nearly the entire year pursuing these activities. What\u2019s the big draw for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growing up among the mountains naturally creates a bond with the peaks around you and the breathtaking landscape of Liptov. Although I didn\u2019t actively seek them when I was little, my interest grew during secondary school and especially at university. My parents introduced me to hiking and skiing, and then I began exploring other activities, first climbing, and subsequently ski mountaineering and cycling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your photos and videos suggest you thoroughly enjoy your time in the mountains. How did the idea come about to promote them on a larger scale?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first, I only occasionally posted a nice photo of the mountains or nature on social media after a good hike, solely with the aim of pleasing friends and family. Their responses were positive and many of them said this motivated them to spend more time outdoors. As my following grew, everyone expected me to keep posting, and I saw no reason not to. I believe that positive influence on healthy activities and appreciation for the mountains is always beneficial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What started as a hobby gradually became a career, leading you to work for MTHIKER, where you write articles about outdoor sports and create educational videos. Was this transition as smooth as it seems?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Believe me, it was quite challenging at first to stand in front of the camera and speak smoothly. My initial attempts were less than perfect, but I got used to it, and now we don\u2019t need to repeat each sentence multiple times (laughs). Sharing knowledge about safe practices in the mountains, what to pack for a trip, where to find information, and how to prepare for hiking, skiing, or climbing has become a natural extension of my interests. Having studied these topics at university, I\u2019ve combined pleasure with practicality. However, I always recommend beginners seek professional instruction. Mistakes early on can be difficult to correct later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, you became an ambassador for the Liptov Cycling Region and you\u2019ve developed a taste for more adrenaline-fuelled cycling. What\u2019s it like to explore this beautiful part of Slovakia on two wheels?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cycling offers a fantastic way to experience and visit many of Liptov\u2019s attractions in a relatively short time. These days, tourists can rent e-bikes, which is ideal for those who may not be extensively trained but still wish to go on longer rides. New trails and options are added every year, making Liptov an excellent destination for cycling enthusiasts. I\u2019ve recently discovered the thrill of single trails \u2013 one-way routes through forests with various obstacles. The first was opened three years ago above Vlkol\u00ednec, but my favourite spot is Hradsk\u00e1 Hora near Liptovsk\u00fd Hr\u00e1dok, since it has trails offering stunning views of Kriv\u00e1\u0148. There are trails there that are suitable for both beginners and advanced riders. But for that you need a slightly better and, most importantly, well-suspended bike for the jumps. The easier trails can be handled by anyone, even on an ordinary mountain bike. The newest trail, above Liptovsk\u00fd Mikul\u00e1\u0161 in H\u00e1j-Nicov\u00f4, is suitable for all ages and abilities. It\u2019s another interesting trail. I am already looking forward to paying frequent visits there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You studied sports and physical education teacher training at Matej Bel University. Do you incorporate any of your teaching training into your mountain adventures?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Living in the mountains means outdoor activity is part of my routine. It\u2019s different when you just visit occasionally and try to fit everything into a window. I think being a teacher has to be in your blood. I initially took a course to be an instructor for artificial climbing walls and, later, natural rock faces. I wanted to learn proper techniques and expand my knowledge so that I could explain safety and skills to others. I started climbing informally with friends, but knowing I\u2019m doing things correctly gives me a much better feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With your extensive experience in Liptov, are there any specific places you particularly enjoy returning to?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Absolutely. For hiking, I particularly enjoy \u010cere\u0148ov\u00e1 Skala. It\u2019s not the most challenging of routes; it takes about 45 minutes at a leisurely pace. But the views of the entire region, Liptovsk\u00e1 Mara, and the Low and Western Tatras are well worth the effort. For climbing, I prefer Machnat\u00e9 in Dem\u00e4novsk\u00e1 Valley. Many heading to Jasn\u00e1 pass by this area, but few realise it\u2019s an excellent spot for climbing. The rock formations accommodate both advanced climbers and beginners, including children \u2013 who have their own designated area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most adrenaline sports involve overcoming challenging goals and experiencing that rush of euphoria. What motivates you in the mountains?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t set myself challenging or dangerous goals. My focus is on the journey and the people I share it with. For climbing, my toughest route I tackled was abroad, while at home, it\u2019s a climbing area within a large cave arch, with a view of Chopok in Repisk\u00e1, in Dem\u00e4novsk\u00e1 Valley. Generally, I don\u2019t focus on performance. My aim is to return safely from each trip. Mountains are unpredictable and unforgiving of mistakes. Especially in winter, you have to be cautious, and I try to share this message with occasional tourists. It\u2019s important to be aware of your surroundings. When the weather changes rapidly, it\u2019s often wiser to return than to risk unnecessary danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recent pandemic sparked a boom in ski mountaineering, we might even say a nationwide craze. Even since the resorts have reopened, adherents of the sport can still be seen on the ski slopes. Is this safe, or do you recommend that beginners stick to different routes?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0We all have to start somewhere with this sport. Many find the route to \u017diarska Chata appealing \u2013 it\u2019s relatively wide and is covered in snow for most of the winter. Having said that, my advice to beginners would be to start by considering their skiing skills. Ascending a hill is one thing, but descending safely is another. Skiing on much lighter skimo equipment can be more challenging than on regular skis, especially in difficult terrain with deep snow. Even really good skiers will work up a sweat. There is the option of booking a few lessons with an instructor to master the basics. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s anything wrong with starting on ski slopes, as many resorts, such as Jasn\u00e1, now have designated or off-track routes for beginners. If everyone adheres to the resort\u2019s rules, it\u2019s a safe and ideal way to get acquainted with the sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Winter often means skiing for many tourists. Do you still enjoy this sport even when you\u2019re surrounded by throngs of people?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tranquillity of the mountains certainly has its appeal, but I\u2019ve been skiing since kindergarten and have no intention of giving it up. For the past four years, I\u2019ve bought a season pass for TMR resorts, allowing me to fully enjoy the best ski terrains in Slovakia. At the start of the season, I aim to ski as much as possible to build endurance for ski mountaineering and avoid muscle burnout. Skiing down a challenging slope in one go can be strenuous, and the legs need reconditioning after a long summer. Fortunately, Jasn\u00e1 and the High Tatras offer a wide selection of freeride routes, allowing me to practise in open terrain as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ski gopass also grants access to water parks and a whole world of relaxation and regeneration. Do you take up of those options?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being from Liptov, I have Tatralandia and Be\u0161e\u0148ov\u00e1 right on my doorstep. I\u2019ve been visiting both parks since I was little, and now I can go regularly thanks to the season pass. My university classmates in Bansk\u00e1 Bystrica inspired me. Many of them bought a season ski pass every year and enjoy several months on the slopes at a discounted rate. I asked myself, living right under Chopok, why I didn\u2019t have one. Since I started buying one, I can easily drive to a water park in the evening and enjoy the water or wellness. It\u2019s been a fantastic choice for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to mountain sports, you\u2019ve probably tried everything, and physical activity is your lifestyle. Do you also have days when you stay home and spend time indoors? Can you even relax?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Definitely. I\u2019m not the sort of person who exercises daily and follows strict fitness plans, with the exception of the beginning of winter when the first snow falls and I head into the terrain with my skimo gear. After a long summer, I can\u2019t get enough of the snow. I sometimes get out there twice a day (laughs). However, if it\u2019s raining, I\u2019m not the type to push myself to exercise. I have no problem staying at home for a few days and resting. The same goes for summer during heatwaves. I don\u2019t want to subject my body to overheating and I never go into overdrive. I\u2019d rather hunker down somewhere shady and go rock climbing than scramble up some heavy hill, which I\u2019m sure I wouldn\u2019t enjoy in the heat. My motto is that you also have to know how to laze around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Narty, rower, skialpy, ale te\u017c zwyk\u0142e buty turystyczne. Ka\u017cdy sport, to nowe wyzwanie, a jednocze\u015bnie wiele nowych inspiracji. M\u0142oda liptowianka Miriama Kov\u00e1\u010dov\u00e1 jest dzieckiem g\u00f3r i zapalon\u0105 sportsmenk\u0105, kt\u00f3ra w mediach spo\u0142eczno\u015bciowych sta\u0142a si\u0119 popularn\u0105 influencerk\u0105. Pocz\u0105tkowo publikowa\u0142a tylko pi\u0119kne zdj\u0119cia ze swoich w\u0119dr\u00f3wek po g\u00f3rach, ale p\u00f3\u017aniej zamieni\u0142a swoje hobby w \u017ar\u00f3d\u0142o utrzymania. Jednak opr\u00f3cz prezentowania pi\u0119kna Tatr, stara si\u0119 r\u00f3wnie\u017c edukowa\u0107, zw\u0142aszcza fan\u00f3w adrenaliny.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

G\u00f3ry i sport to dwa naczynia po\u0142\u0105czone. Nie ka\u017cdy jednak zakochuje si\u0119 w nich na tyle, by sp\u0119dza\u0107 w nich niemal ca\u0142y rok. A co Ciebie do nich przyci\u0105ga?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kiedy patrzysz na nie od najm\u0142odszych lat, naturalnie tworzysz wi\u0119\u017a z otaczaj\u0105cymi wzg\u00f3rzami i pi\u0119kn\u0105 przyrod\u0105 regionu Liptowa. W dzieci\u0144stwie niezbyt zwraca\u0142am na to uwag\u0119, ale od czas\u00f3w liceum, a zw\u0142aszcza studi\u00f3w, zacz\u0119\u0142o si\u0119 to zmienia\u0107. Chocia\u017c moi rodzice zach\u0119cali mnie do pieszych w\u0119dr\u00f3wek i jazdy na nartach, widzia\u0142am, \u017ce istniej\u0105 inne opcje, wi\u0119c stopniowo zacz\u0119\u0142am ich pr\u00f3bowa\u0107. Najpierw wspinaczka, potem skialpinizm i jazda na rowerze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

S\u0105dz\u0105c po Twoich zdj\u0119ciach i filmach, w pe\u0142ni cieszysz si\u0119 przebywaniem w g\u00f3rach. Ale sk\u0105d wzi\u0105\u0142 si\u0119 pomys\u0142, by zacz\u0105\u0107 je promowa\u0107 na szerok\u0105 skal\u0119?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Na pocz\u0105tku po prostu po w\u0119dr\u00f3wce od czasu do czasu publikowa\u0142am \u0142adne zdj\u0119cie g\u00f3r lub przyrody w mediach spo\u0142eczno\u015bciowych. Chcia\u0142am tym zadowoli\u0107 m\u00f3j kr\u0105g przyjaci\u00f3\u0142 i rodzin\u0119. Wszystkim im si\u0119 to podoba\u0142o i wielu z nich powiedzia\u0142o mi, \u017ce motywuj\u0119 ich do aktywnego sp\u0119dzania czasu na \u015bwie\u017cym powietrzu. Ich liczba stale ros\u0142a i wszyscy oczekiwali kolejnych post\u00f3w. Nie mia\u0142am powodu, aby ich tam nie umieszcza\u0107, uwa\u017cam, \u017ce pozytywny wp\u0142yw na zdrowy ruch i g\u00f3ry jest zawsze mile widziany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twoje hobby stopniowo przerodzi\u0142o si\u0119 w prac\u0119 i zacz\u0119\u0142a\u015b pracowa\u0107 w redakcji MTHIKER, dla kt\u00f3rej piszesz artyku\u0142y o sportach outdoorowych, a tak\u017ce przygotowujesz filmy edukacyjne dla fan\u00f3w. Czy by\u0142o to takie proste, jak wydaje si\u0119 na pierwszy rzut oka?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uwierz mi, mia\u0142am spore problemy z tym, by stan\u0105\u0107 przed kamer\u0105 i p\u0142ynnie m\u00f3wi\u0107 do widz\u00f3w. Pierwsze pr\u00f3by by\u0142y mizerne, ale przyzwyczai\u0142am si\u0119 i dzi\u015b nie musimy z kamerzyst\u0105 powtarza\u0107 jednego zdania dziesi\u0119\u0107 razy (\u015bmiech). Przekazuj\u0119 do\u015bwiadczenie jak bezpiecznie porusza\u0107 si\u0119 i zachowywa\u0107 w g\u00f3rach, co zabra\u0107 na wypraw\u0119, gdzie czerpa\u0107 informacje i jak przygotowa\u0107 si\u0119 do w\u0119dr\u00f3wki, jazdy na nartach czy wspinaczki po ska\u0142ach lub na ferratach. Temat ten porusza\u0142am ju\u017c w szkole, wi\u0119c po\u0142\u0105czy\u0142am przyjemne z po\u017cytecznym. Trzymam si\u0119 jednak jednej zasady, kt\u00f3r\u0105 polecam ka\u017cdemu, kto dopiero zaczyna swoj\u0105 przygod\u0119 z tym sportem - powinien odda\u0107 si\u0119 w r\u0119ce instruktora lub eksperta. Bo je\u015bli ju\u017c na samym pocz\u0105tku zaczniemy pope\u0142nia\u0107 b\u0142\u0119dy, to p\u00f3\u017aniej ci\u0119\u017cko si\u0119 ich wyzby\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jaki\u015b czas temu zosta\u0142a\u015b ambasadork\u0105 rowerowego regionu Liptowa, a ostatnio zasmakowa\u0142a\u015b nieco wi\u0119cej rowerowej adrenaliny. Jak to jest zwiedza\u0107 t\u0119 pi\u0119kn\u0105 cz\u0119\u015b\u0107 S\u0142owacji na dw\u00f3ch k\u00f3\u0142kach?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To zdecydowanie \u015bwietna okazja, aby zobaczy\u0107 i zwiedzi\u0107 wiele atrakcji Liptowa w stosunkowo kr\u00f3tkim czasie. Zwykli tury\u015bci maj\u0105 obecnie mo\u017cliwo\u015b\u0107 wypo\u017cyczenia rower\u00f3w elektrycznych, co jest r\u00f3wnie\u017c wygodne dla tych, kt\u00f3rzy nie maj\u0105 super kondycji. Teraz tak\u017ce oni mog\u0105 \u015bmia\u0142o wybra\u0107 si\u0119 na d\u0142u\u017csze wycieczki. Ka\u017cdego roku dodawane s\u0105 coraz to nowe mo\u017cliwo\u015bci, co sprawia, \u017ce Lipt\u00f3w jest \u015bwietnym miejscem dla mi\u0142o\u015bnik\u00f3w sport\u00f3w rowerowych. Mnie ostatnio urzek\u0142y \u201esingle trails\u201d, czyli jednokierunkowe trasy przez las z r\u00f3\u017cnymi przeszkodami. Pierwsza z nich zosta\u0142a otwarta trzy lata temu nad Vlkol\u00edncem, ale moim ulubionym miejscem jest Hradsk\u00e1 hora w pobli\u017cu Liptowskiego Gr\u00f3dka (Liptovsk\u00fd Hr\u00e1dok) i tamtejsze trasy z pi\u0119knymi widokami na Krywa\u0144. Jest tam wiele r\u00f3\u017cnych tras, zar\u00f3wno dla pocz\u0105tkuj\u0105cych, jak i takich, na kt\u00f3rych mo\u017cna dobrze poskaka\u0107. Jednak do tego trzeba mie\u0107 troch\u0119 lepszy, a przede wszystkim dobrze amortyzowany rower. \u0141atwiejsze trasy mo\u017ce pokona\u0107 ka\u017cdy, nawet na zwyk\u0142ym \u201eg\u00f3ralu\u201d. Najnowsza trasa ponad Liptowskim Mikulaszem w H\u00e1ju Nicov\u00f4 jest r\u00f3wnie\u017c interesuj\u0105c\u0105 tras\u0105, odpowiedni\u0105 dla wszystkich grup wiekowych i sprawno\u015bciowych. Ju\u017c nie mog\u0119 si\u0119 doczeka\u0107, kiedy b\u0119d\u0119 tam je\u017adzi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wybra\u0142a\u015b studia w kierunku sport i edukacj\u0119 fizyczn\u0105 na Uniwersytecie Mateja Bela. W g\u00f3rach wychodzi z Ciebie typowa nauczycielka?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moj\u0105 przewag\u0105 jest to, \u017ce mieszkam w g\u00f3rach i dlatego ruch w nich traktuj\u0119 jako rutyn\u0119. Co innego, je\u015bli przyje\u017cd\u017ca si\u0119 tam z doskoku i w kr\u00f3tkim czasie chce si\u0119 dokona\u0107 niemo\u017cliwego. My\u015bl\u0119, \u017ce bycie nauczycielem te\u017c trzeba mie\u0107 troch\u0119 we krwi. Najpierw zrobi\u0142am kurs instruktorski na sztucznych \u015bciankach, a p\u00f3\u017aniej na wspinaczk\u0119 ska\u0142kow\u0105. Chcia\u0142am nauczy\u0107 si\u0119 odpowiedniej techniki i dokszta\u0142ci\u0107 si\u0119 w tej dziedzinie, aby m\u00f3c wyt\u0142umaczy\u0107 ludziom, kt\u00f3rzy ze mn\u0105 id\u0105, co powinni robi\u0107 i przede wszystkim jak robi\u0107 to bezpiecznie. Zacz\u0119\u0142am te\u017c wspina\u0107 si\u0119 po ska\u0142kach ze znajomymi, \u017ce tak powiem \u201ena pa\u0142\u0119\u201d, ale ka\u017cdy zdecydowanie czuje si\u0119 lepiej, gdy wie, \u017ce robi co\u015b dobrze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Du\u017co w\u0119drowa\u0142a\u015b i wspina\u0142a\u015b si\u0119 na Liptowie. Ale czy s\u0105 jakie\u015b miejsca na twojej li\u015bcie, do kt\u00f3rych szczeg\u00f3lnie lubisz wraca\u0107?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zdecydowanie tak. Na przyk\u0142ad lubi\u0119 w\u0119drowa\u0107 na \u010cere\u0148ov\u0105 skal\u0119. Chocia\u017c nie jest to trudny szlak, mo\u017cna si\u0119 tam dosta\u0107 w trzy kwadranse, id\u0105c spokojnym tempem. Ale widoki ze szczytu na ca\u0142y region, Liptowsk\u0105 Mar\u0119, Ni\u017cne i Zachodnie Tatry s\u0105 zdecydowanie tego warte. Na wspinaczk\u0119 najch\u0119tniej wybieram si\u0119 do Machnat\u00e9go w Dolinie Demianowskiej. Ka\u017cdy, kto jedzie do Jasnej, mija ten obszar, ale niewiele os\u00f3b wie, \u017ce jest to \u015bwietne miejsce dla fan\u00f3w tego sportu. Zaawansowani wspinacze i zupe\u0142nie pocz\u0105tkuj\u0105cy, w tym dzieci, kt\u00f3re maj\u0105 sw\u00f3j w\u0142asny sektor, mog\u0105 dobrze si\u0119 bawi\u0107 na tych skalnych wie\u017cach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wi\u0119kszo\u015b\u0107 sport\u00f3w adrenalinowych polega na pokonywaniu trudnych cel\u00f3w i p\u00f3\u017aniejszym uczuciu euforii. Co motywuje Ci\u0119 w g\u00f3rach?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nie stawiam sobie trudnych i niebezpiecznych cel\u00f3w. Moim celem jest podr\u00f3\u017c i ludzie, z kt\u00f3rymi w ni\u0105 wyruszam. Je\u015bli m\u00f3wimy o wspinaczce, najtrudniejsz\u0105 tras\u0105, jak\u0105 pokona\u0142am za granic\u0105 i w kraju, jest obszar wspinaczkowy, kt\u00f3ry jest cz\u0119\u015bci\u0105 du\u017cego sklepienia jaskini z widokiem na Chopok na Repisk\u00e1ch w Dolinie Demianowskiej. Najcz\u0119\u015bciej jednak nie my\u015bl\u0119 o wynikach, tylko chc\u0119 bezpiecznie wr\u00f3ci\u0107 do domu z ka\u017cdej wyprawy. G\u00f3ry s\u0105 cz\u0119sto nieprzewidywalne i nie wybaczaj\u0105 b\u0142\u0119d\u00f3w. Dlatego szczeg\u00f3lnie zim\u0105 trzeba by\u0107 w nich bardzo ostro\u017cnym i jest to przes\u0142anie, kt\u00f3re staram si\u0119 szerzy\u0107 zw\u0142aszcza w\u015br\u00f3d okazjonalnych w\u0119drowc\u00f3w. Musisz by\u0107 \u015bwiadomy tego, co dzieje si\u0119 wok\u00f3\u0142 ciebie. Na przyk\u0142ad, gdy pogoda szybko si\u0119 zmienia, zawsze rozs\u0105dniej jest zawr\u00f3ci\u0107 ni\u017c podejmowa\u0107 niepotrzebne ryzyko.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Niedawna pandemia spowodowa\u0142a rozkwit skialpinizmu i mo\u017cna powiedzie\u0107, \u017ce mo\u017ce nawet og\u00f3lnokrajowy sza\u0142. Nawet po ponownym otwarciu o\u015brodk\u00f3w, na stokach narciarskich wci\u0105\u017c mo\u017cna spotka\u0107 zwolennik\u00f3w tego sportu. Czy jest to bezpieczne, czy polecasz inne trasy, szczeg\u00f3lnie dla pocz\u0105tkuj\u0105cych?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wszyscy jako\u015b zaczynali\u015bmy z tym sportem. Wiele os\u00f3b lubi na przyk\u0142ad tras\u0119 do \u017diarskiej Chaty, kt\u00f3ra jest do\u015b\u0107 szeroka i na\u015bnie\u017cana przez prawie ca\u0142\u0105 zim\u0119. Zalecam jednak, aby ka\u017cdy pocz\u0105tkuj\u0105cy najpierw zastanowi\u0142 si\u0119, czy umie je\u017adzi\u0107 na nartach. Czym innym jest wej\u015bcie na g\u00f3r\u0119, a czym innym bezpieczny zjazd. Zjazd na znacznie l\u017cejszych \u201eskialpach\u201d jest nieco trudniejszy ni\u017c na zwyk\u0142ych nartach, i nawet naprawd\u0119 dobrzy narciarze mog\u0105 si\u0119 spoci\u0107 w trudnym terenie z g\u0142\u0119bokim \u015bniegiem. Mo\u017cna jednak zarezerwowa\u0107 kilka lekcji z instruktorem i opanowa\u0107 przynajmniej podstawy. Nie widz\u0119 nic z\u0142ego w tym, \u017ce ludzie zaczynaj\u0105 od pierwszych wej\u015b\u0107 na stokach narciarskich, poniewa\u017c w dzisiejszych czasach mamy ju\u017c, na przyk\u0142ad w Jasnej, dedykowane trasy wzd\u0142u\u017c stok\u00f3w lub ca\u0142kowicie poza nimi. Dop\u00f3ki wszyscy przestrzegaj\u0105 warunk\u00f3w okre\u015blonych przez sam o\u015brodek, nikomu nie powinna sta\u0107 si\u0119 krzywda i jest to idealny spos\u00f3b na zapoznanie si\u0119 ze sportem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Jednak dla wielu turyst\u00f3w prawdziwa zima to przede wszystkim jazda na nartach. Czy mo\u017cna cieszy\u0107 si\u0119 tym sportem r\u00f3wnie\u017c wtedy, gdy nie jest si\u0119 samemu na stoku, ale jest si\u0119 cz\u0119\u015bci\u0105 wi\u0119kszej masy ludzi?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cisza w g\u00f3rach z pewno\u015bci\u0105 ma sw\u00f3j urok, ale na nartach je\u017cd\u017c\u0119 od przedszkola i nie mam zamiaru porzuca\u0107 tego hobby. Przez ostatnie cztery lata zawsze kupowa\u0142am karnet sezonowy do o\u015brodk\u00f3w TMR, wi\u0119c w pe\u0142ni korzystam z najlepszych teren\u00f3w narciarskich na S\u0142owacji. Na pocz\u0105tku sezonu staram si\u0119 jak najwi\u0119cej je\u017adzi\u0107 na nartach i nabra\u0107 kondycji, aby potem nie cierpie\u0107, w ten spos\u00f3b unikam efektu \u201epal\u0105cych\u201d ud podczas skialpinizmu. Jednorazowy zjazd na nartach jest do\u015b\u0107 uci\u0105\u017cliwy, a po d\u0142ugim lecie trzeba ponownie wytrenowa\u0107 nogi. Zalet\u0105 jest r\u00f3wnie\u017c to, \u017ce u nas w Jasnej na Liptowie, ale tak\u017ce w Tatrach Wysokich jest szeroki wyb\u00f3r tras freeride'owych i mog\u0119 sporo trenowa\u0107 w otwartym terenie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jednak narciarski karnet gopass otwiera r\u00f3wnie\u017c drzwi do park\u00f3w wodnych, a w nich do \u015bwiata relaksu i regeneracji. Czy korzystasz z tych mo\u017cliwo\u015bci?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pochodz\u0105c z Liptowa, Tatralandi\u0119 i Be\u0161e\u0148ov\u0105 mam tu\u017c pod nosem. Do obu park\u00f3w chodz\u0119 dla zabawy od dziecka, ale dzi\u0119ki \u201esezon\u00f3wce\u201d odwiedzam je teraz regularnie. Zainspirowali mnie moi koledzy ze studi\u00f3w w Ba\u0144skiej Bystrzycy, kilku z nich co roku kupowa\u0142o karnet narciarski na ca\u0142y sezon, dzi\u0119ki czemu mogli sp\u0119dzi\u0107 kilka miesi\u0119cy na stokach po okazyjnej cenie. Zada\u0142am sobie pytanie: mieszkasz tu\u017c pod Chopokiem, wi\u0119c dlaczego jeszcze go nie masz? Odk\u0105d zacz\u0119\u0142am go kupowa\u0107, nawet wieczorem, po prostu wsiadam do samochodu i kwadrans p\u00f3\u017aniej jestem w parku wodnym, ciesz\u0105c si\u0119 wod\u0105 lub spa. By\u0142 to dla mnie \u015bwietny wyb\u00f3r.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oczywi\u015bcie pr\u00f3bowa\u0142a\u015b wszystkiego w sportach g\u00f3rskich, a ruch jest Twoim stylem \u017cycia. Ale czy masz dni, kiedy nigdzie nie wychodzisz i sp\u0119dzasz czas w domu zamiast na \u0142onie natury? Czy w og\u00f3le potrafisz leniuchowa\u0107?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oczywi\u015bcie, \u017ce tak. Nie jestem osob\u0105, kt\u00f3ra na co dzie\u0144 uprawia sport i musi realizowa\u0107 jakie\u015b plany kondycyjne. Jedynym wyj\u0105tkiem jest pocz\u0105tek zimy, kiedy spada pierwszy \u015bnieg i mog\u0119 w ko\u0144cu i\u015b\u0107 z moimi skialpami w teren. Po d\u0142ugim lecie nie mog\u0119 si\u0119 nacieszy\u0107 \u015bniegiem i czasami \u201eobal\u0119 si\u0119\u201d dwa razy jednego dnia (\u015bmiech). Ale kiedy na przyk\u0142ad pada deszcz, nie jestem typem osoby, kt\u00f3ra zawraca\u0142aby sobie g\u0142ow\u0119 uprawianiem sportu. Nie mam problemu z pozostaniem w domu przez kilka dni i odpoczynkiem. Tak samo jest latem podczas upa\u0142\u00f3w. Nie chc\u0119 nara\u017ca\u0107 swojego cia\u0142a na przegrzanie i nigdy nie wchodz\u0119 na wysokie obroty. Wol\u0119 schowa\u0107 si\u0119 gdzie\u015b w cieniu i wspina\u0107 si\u0119 po ska\u0142ach, ni\u017c wdrapywa\u0107 si\u0119 na jak\u0105\u015b trudn\u0105 g\u00f3rk\u0119, co na pewno nie sprawi\u0142oby mi przyjemno\u015bci w upale.
