Bukovel

In the Carpathians, the Bukovel ski resort in Ukraine is a snow-covered lovely spot for winter holidays. It is very congested during the peak ski season, especially in January. There are always too many people who want to go skiing in Bukovel, come to celebrate New Year's, Orthodox Christmas, or simply have a romantic winter getaway.

In the winter, Bukovel does not scrimp on amusement for all tourists, not just skiers, as it is a highly scenic region with different trails, a huge selection of hotels, pure crisp air, and vistas that make you happy. Whatever your age or inclinations, there is always something to do. And it is without a doubt one of Europe's top ski resorts.

Bukovel, high on the western Ukrainian mountains, promises a ton of pleasure for people of all ages. With over 50 kilometers of groomed pistes and playgrounds, it can accommodate skiers and snowboarders of all abilities. When you're not testing the powder, visit the snow park, bicycle park, or ski school to learn some new tricks. The months of December through April are the greatest for skiing in Bukovel, with January having the most snowfall.
