Facts and practical information

Avalanche peak - the fifth highest peak of the Tatra Mountains with a height of 2606 m a.s.l. constituting the middle vertex of Zadni Gerlach's massif in the Slovak High Tatras. It is located in the Main Gold of the High Tatra Mountains between Zadnim Gerlach and Gerlachowska Kopa.

No marked hiking routes lead to the top of the avalanche peak, so it is only available to mountaineers.

According to earlier measurements, the height of the avalanche peak is about 2635 m, but these measurements were inaccurate. Slightly newer anteroid measurements have shown that its height is about 2610 m. Ultimately, trigonometric measurements, which seem the most accurate, determined the height of the avalanche peak at 2606.1 m.
