Over the past 40 years, we have observed increased dynamics of processes in all vegetation levels of the Tatras, both in summer and winter. As a result, the risk of endangering hiking trails and ski slopes has increased, which is confirmed by several sudden events with fatal consequences for the lives of tourists. A greater number of sudden events are related to avalanches during the early spring period, while in the summer period there are storms and intense supercell rains. In both cases, there were fatal consequences for people's lives.
The aim of the paper is to point out processes that have a sudden course with an impact on hiking trails, infrastructure and pose a high threat to tourists themselves. On the other hand, knowledge of the dynamics and course of morphodynamic processes is the starting point for strengthening the infrastructure and management of tourism in high mountains.
