Carpathian Mountains
Hiking trails in Ukraine are not always well marked and occasionally you will find yourself without a fixed path to walk on. Trekking in Ukraine is all about roughing it, so don't expect high-class facilities. Rather you can expect to camp during overnight hikes or if you are lucky, you will find space in one of the log cabins that dot the mountain sides. Many people opt to join an organized trek as the guide will be able to take you to some of the best spots, as well as keep you from getting lost. The best season for hiking in Ukraine is from late May to early June and in September and October. Rainstorms may be an issue during the summer months whilst August is the tourist month and gets a bit crowded for those seeking a quiet walk.
Bukovel ski resort
Bukovel ski resort is a new large ski resort in Ivano-Frankivsk oblast 30 km to the west of Yaremcha. It is Ukraine's first European-class resort, with a couple high-speed chair lifts, meticulously groomed slopes and snow-making machines, turnstyles for letting skiers through lines, and ubiquitous security personnel. It's unusual to see this degree of organization in Ukraine.Bukovel resort has been carefully planned to make skiing enjoyable and convenient and to avoid lift lines and congestion.Lift lines longer than five minutes are rare.
