The High Tatras
The smallest alpine range anywhere, jagged enough to look Himalayan in miniature, with glacial lakes to walk to in summer and a proper ski season that costs half what the Alps do.
The best time to visit The High Tatras is Jul–Sep, or Jan–Mar, when typical daytime highs reach about 22°C (72°F). Local time there is 07:38 (UTC+2).
