DETAILS

This year, the winter tourist season will be held in conditions of full-scale war. However, business is working, creating new jobs and supporting the economy. Ski resorts in the 2022-2023 season will give every Ukrainian an opportunity to reload and return to the defense of Ukraine on various fronts with renewed strength.

We found out which resorts are ready to meet tourists and how the complexes plan to work in the event of a lack of electricity.

Trip to Bukovel

The most popular ski resort of Ukraine announced on its Facebook page on December 15 that the 2022-2023 season will be. Bukovel - the heart of the Carpathians invites everyone for inspiration.

Of course, the format of the rest will undergo certain changes, in particular:

• there will be no night skating;

• holiday parties in the center and New Year's entertainment will be canceled, but the Christmas tree will create a festive mood for children;

• the Apres Ski zone will operate as a recreation area, but without an entertainment program.

In the Ivano-Frankivsk region, as well as throughout Ukraine, scheduled and emergency power outages occur. However, the resort and most businesses around it have provided themselves with alternative power sources. Currently, the observation lift and most facilities are running on generators. Of course, in the event of a total blackout, changes in the resort's operating mode are possible.

For more detailed information about the opening date, the operation of the resort in the 2022/2023 season, look for further posts of the institution on social networks.

Rest in Dragobrat

The highest mountain ski resort of Ukraine "Dragobrat" is located at an altitude of 1400 m and is a rather remote place for recreation.
