With the arrival of winter and the approach of New Year holidays, most people ask themselves: where to go and where to celebrate New Year? After all, winter holidays are truly special: everyone dreams of a wonderful rest, comfort, fairy tale, miracle!

And one of the most atmospheric places in the world is the Ukrainian Carpathians!
Up to 20% of all Ukraine's forests are in the Carpathians, so the air here is clean and fresh. Crystal-clear water flows down from the mountains. Fragrant Carpathian herbs are steeped in it. Sitting in a rocking chair, sipping healing hot tea, gazing at the picturesque snowy landscapes, you understand: this is what you have long been looking for.

Both active tourists and those who prefer relaxation come to the Carpathians. The first choose skiing and snowboarding, the second relax in thermal springs and spa salons.

And who could remain indifferent to the masterful Carpathian cuisine? Traditional banosh, tasty bograch, bryndza, krumpli, aromatic mushroom soup, warm draniki with sour cream, juicy shashlyk – a wonderful New Year holiday is guaranteed for you! Because the main ingredients of this holiday – a fairy-tale atmosphere and tasty food – are already waiting for you and your friends.

If you have little time, you always have the option of choosing a weekend tour.

So, where to go in the Carpathians in winter:

1. Vorokhta – a popular winter resort.

A picturesque high-mountain settlement located in Prykarpattia. In winter it is exceptionally cozy, but at the same time there is an opportunity to spend time actively.

2. Yaremche – an excellent choice for a family holiday.

A well-known resort located in Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast. There are dozens of places worth visiting here. From castles to a waterfall.

3. Bukovel – the country's main resort.

For many people, Bukovel is associated with ski holidays. Every Ukrainian should visit this place at least once. But after visiting here once, you will definitely want to return.

4. Yasinia – an urban-type settlement where the Dragobrat ski complex is located. It is the highest in Ukraine, so there is something to see here, especially in winter.

5. Slavske – a snowboarder's dream. Well-developed infrastructure, outstanding nature, a large number of slopes – this is all about Slavske.

6. Plai – a family ski resort. One of the most popular in Ukraine. Snow cannons make it possible to ski even when the weather lets you down.

7. Yablunytsia – just 4 km from Bukovel, the most famous resort in the Carpathians. Perhaps someone does not like crowded places with many tourists and guests – then Yablunytsia is the ideal option for you.

In fact, the question of where to go for a winter holiday has plenty of answers within our country. And without going abroad, we have everything for a great vacation. It is wonderful that in Ukraine there are mountains and the sea: so we have places to relax at any time of year.

So, let’s choose a resort, pack our suitcase and hit the road: see you in the Carpathians for New Year!
