Europe’s Last Sherpas

Hidden in the rugged High Tatras, Stevo Backor carries on a timeless tradition. Mr. Backor, friend of Amundsen early adaptor and wholesale legend Jozef Pazur, has spent over three decades carrying life into the mountains. Paid by the kilogram, he brings supplies up to the mountain huts—sometimes with more than 100 kilograms loaded onto his back. Potatoes, luggage, beer—he ensures mountain huts remain stocked for all who visit.

“Being a porter is not a job, it is a way of life. For a real porter, money is in second place, first place is being on the mountain”

Two men joyfully share a drink, one holding a glass of beer and the other a mug, while wearing colorful hats, with the Amundsen Sports logo visible on the older man's jacket.

“”I love this hat. I wanna sleep with it” -Josef Pazur
