Vrátna dolina, located in Krivánska Malá Fatra, is the largest tourist center in the area. In addition to summer hiking, it offers excellent conditions for winter sports such as skiing, snowboarding, and ski mountaineering. The Varínka river flows through the valley, creating the Tiesňavy gorges with waterfalls and interesting rock formations. Historically, Vrátna was used as a hunting preserve; today, it boasts an extensive network of hiking trails and cable cars. The overall rating is based on several factors, e.g. Nice views, a slightly colder wind. No queue for the cable car. Great for me. It is located near the village of Terchová and is one of the most visited and beautiful valleys in the Krivánskej part of the Malá Fatra. The area of Vrátnej is bounded by a wreath of peaks: Boboty, Veľký Rozsutec, Stoh, Poludňový grúň, Chleb, Veľký Kriváň, Kraviarske, Baraniarky and Sokolie. It is divided into two more valleys, Stará and Nová dolina, which are separated by the Grúň hill.
