Trekking in the Ukrainian Carpathian Mountains is nothing like having a trip to Alps. Being in dense forests, high ridges, and beautiful valleys mostly without well-marked paths, you will nourish into the real natural beauty, watch the wild life, discover the authenticity of life in the mountains. You will definitely feel the peculiarity of this region and the satisfaction from the achieved new challenges and aims.
The mountains cover quite a large area and tourism has been developed only in some villages nearby skiing resorts. Otherwise it’s mostly forested area with few marked paths, so venturing on a proper hiking trip you have to be good with a map and a compass and have your own food supply and a tent. Locals in the villages usually are friendly but they do not speak any English, so the communication can be a problem.
