Bratislava itself rarely has much snow, but roads to the Tatras and the Low Tatras can be wintry from November to April.
Winter tyres
Slovak law requires winter tyres whenever there is snow, ice or frost on the road. We fit winter tyres to all cars from November to March.
Headlights and alcohol
Dipped headlights or daytime running lights must be on all year. The alcohol limit for drivers is zero.
Mountain trips
For the High Tatras we recommend an all-wheel-drive car such as the Porsche Cayenne Turbo Coupé or Audi RS 6 Avant. Check the weather and road reports before you go.
