The unmistakable limestone pyramid of Veľký Choč is easily identifiable not only from the entire Liptov region, but also from the Veľká and Malá Fatra Mountains, Low and Western Tatras and Orava. It is considered one of the most beautiful mountains in Slovakia, from which it is possible to admire panoramic views in all directions. The hike to Veľký Choč is very popular and it is also available during the winter season. Veľký Choč is also interesting for hikers because there are several marked trails from different starting points. Hikes are possible from Vyšný Kubín, Jasenová, Valaská Dubová, but also from Likavka, Lisková or Lúčky.
