The highest points accessible by a chair lift are Chopok úboč (1 834 m) on the northern slope and Kosodrevina (1 494 m) on the southern slope.

The average temperature is -1°C (30°F), with the highest temperature recorded 18°C (66°F) and the lowest recorded temperature -27°C (-18°F). The average temperature in January is -8°C (17°F) and in July 6°C (44°F). Chopok is the windiest place with a weather station in Slovakia.

The northern and southern slopes rank among the best skiing terrains in Slovakia. There are three ski areas on the northern slope, with 21 km of prepared skiing tracks, two cable cars, five chair lifts, and ten ski lifts. The southern slope has chair lift and six ski lifts. The mountain is popular among freeskiers. In addition, the Jasná ski center is situated at Chopok's northern base and the Srdiečko and Tále ski resorts at the southern base.
