Frequently asked questions

What is the highest peak of the Ukrainian Carpathians?

Hoverla (2,061 m) on the Chornohora ridge is the highest peak in Ukraine. Five more two-thousanders stand on the same ridge: Brebeneskul, Pip Ivan Chornohirskyi, Petros, Hutyn Tomnatyk and Rebra.

What is the highest peak of the whole Carpathians?

Gerlachovský štít (2,655 m, High Tatras, Slovakia). The catalogue also lists peaks in other Carpathian countries — pick one in the “Country” filter.

Which peak is good for a first climb?

Choose a peak with a waymarked path and an ascent of up to 800–1,000 m: Hoverla from the Zarosliak base, Khomiak or Syniak from Polianytsia, Parashka in the Skole Beskids or Hemba on Borzhava. Length, ascent and tracks of the routes are on every peak page.

Can I climb Pip Ivan?

Not at the moment. Order No. 1663-AH of the 31st Border Guard Detachment (23.05.2024) closes Pip Ivan Chornohirskyi, Brebeneskul and other places of Chornohora and the Chyvchyn Mountains in Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast to tourists, and the routes to Pip Ivan Marmaroskyi are closed for the period of martial law by decision No. 30 of the Zakarpattia defence council. Details are in our border-permit article (in Ukrainian).

When is the best time to climb?

From June to September, when the ridges are free of snow. Start early: summer afternoons often bring thunderstorms, and there is no shelter on an open ridge. Check the forecast on the Carpathian weather page.

When to go and what to know

The best time to climb is June to September: snow stays on the high ridges until May, and blizzards are possible from October. Weather on the ridges changes within an hour — take a rain jacket and a warm layer, start early and turn back if a storm is coming. Some peaks of Chornohora, the Maramures and the Chyvchyn Mountains near the border are closed to tourists by border-guard orders: check the notes on the peak pages and our border-permit article (in Ukrainian).
