The Tatras are a mountain range of a corrugated nature, originating from the [[Alpine orogeny]], and therefore characterized by a relatively young-looking lie of the land, quite similar to the [[landscape]] of the [[Alps]], although significantly smaller. It is the highest mountain range within the [[Carpathian Mountains|Carpathians]].

It consists of the internal mountain chains of:
* [[Eastern Tatras]] (''Východné Tatry'', ''Tatry Wschodnie''), which in turn consist of: 
** the [[Belianske Tatras]] (''Belianske Tatry'', ''Tatry Bielskie'')
** and the [[High Tatras]] (''Vysoké Tatry'', ''Tatry Wysokie'')
* [[Western Tatras]] ({{langx|sk|Západné Tatry}}, {{langx|pl|Tatry Zachodnie}})

The overall nature of the Tatras, together with their easy accessibility, makes them a favorite with tourists and researchers. Therefore, these mountains are a popular [[winter sports]] area, with resorts such as [[Poprad]] and the [[Vysoké Tatry (town)|town Vysoké Tatry]] (The Town of High Tatras) in Slovakia created in 1999, including former separate [[resort]]s: [[Štrbské Pleso]], [[Starý Smokovec]], and [[Tatranská Lomnica]] or [[Zakopane]], called also "winter capital of Poland". The High Tatras, with their 24 (or 25) peaks exceeding 2,500 m above sea level, together with the [[Southern Carpathians]], represent the only form of alpine landscape in the entire {{convert|1200|km|0|abbr=off}} length of arc of the Carpathians.
