The highmountain vegetation above 2 300 m a.s.l. is changing signifanctly. The terrain of the subnival zone is rugged, covered with mosses and lichens, vascular plants are formed only scattered or as a pioneer vegetation. The pressure of climate changes and the frequent use of climbing routes have been increasing in recent decades. Paclová (Paclová, 1977) monitored the floristic composition of vegetation and migration of plant species in the period 1955 – 1969. Her research is one of the last, so we repeated the research in 2011. We focused on the peaks of Maly Ladovy stit (2,602 m a.s.l.), Ladovy stit (2,627 m a.s.l.) and Zadny Ladovy stit (2,507 m a.s.l.). The number of vascular species around climbing routes has decreased significantly, by about 80 %. We also noted species migration, with downward migration predominating.
