The Past a brief history

At the beginning, there used to be a sea on the place where the Chalet is situated. During the Tertiary Period, the Solisko peak arose along with other mountains. A bit later, during the Ice Age, the last of dinosaur left and afterwards, the meadow was occupied by the first Strba village land owners. When they cleaned Solisko from dwarf pines, the sheep herds took place

The Chalet was built in 1944 as a relaxation place near the longest ski lift in former Czechoslovakia. . As far as those times, refreshing during skiing belonged to fine manners

One year later, the Chalet began to be being used by partisans. They appreciated a beautiful view of the Under-Tatras Hollow which was occupied by Germans, and also many sunny days and perfect climate.

In following years, during long winters, the Chalet served as a hut for the Rysy Chalet owners. We can mention, Miro Jilek senior, Belo Kapolka, Oldo Bublik, Laco Richvalsky, Pavol Vavro, Anton Marec and we can’t forget Fero Bujak – the famous Tatras tennis virtuoso.
