Tysovets Ski Resort
 |
Known as the ‘Undiscovered Gem’ or ‘Little Switzerland’ of the Carpathians,
Tysovets resort has so far been untouched by building booms and mass tourism.
A visit to the Carpathians is not complete until you have visited this incredibly picturesque resort which
is often compared to a budding alpine resort. Visitors claim that even the air here is therapeutic.
Since there is no transport, there is very little pollution and tourists love the calm of the resort.
Due to the fact that there is currently no public transport it has an ‘end of the world’ feel to it,
which adds to its charm. |
Tysovets is a resort for serious skiers and some
of Ukraine’s best come here to train. The 36 slopes and ski lifts are kept in excellent condition and the
resort hosts the winter biathlon championships. There are tracks for the slalom, giant slalom and freestyle
as well. There are also ski jumps of 90m to 120m. There are numerous ski rent facilities and the resort has
all the necessary sports equipment.
Other facilities include a sports arena, hotels,
chalets and a nightclub. However, as with most places in Ukraine, it is expanding and in future will
inevitably be a top skiing destination. Due to its low prices it is already popular with students and
in peak season is always packed out. It is also a popular place for business meetings and seminars.
Nestled deep in the Carpathians, it is surrounded by
thick pine forests which are great for summer walks. The sun sets early on Mount Tysovets, but the night
times and sun sets here are always spectacular. The air here is crystal clear and being so high up in the
mountains means that you feel like you’re almost touching the stars, which adds to the enchantment of this
beautiful resort. As a result, it is popular with couples as well as serious skiers.
