Pylypets
The Zakarpattia resort of Pylypets is chosen by those who are looking for a combination of optimal vacation ideas, from relaxing to extreme. This famous ski resort is located near the fascinating natural attractions of the Shipot Waterfall and Borzhava Valley.
Pylypets is already a well-known and rapidly developing ski resort. It has the longest trails in Ukraine (up to 4000 meters long) of varying difficulty - steep, flat, flat, hilly.
Pylypets is as hospitable to tourists in summer as it is in winter or spring. You will enjoy walks along the charming Borzhava meadows full of blueberries. The beauty of the Carpathian meadows sometimes overshadows the glorious alpine meadows. It is worth visiting the Shipot waterfall in winter, but in summer it will be especially pleasant: sitting by the icy mountain stream on a warm day is a pleasure! Pylypets is only 6 km away from the waterfall.
In addition to the Carpathian landscapes, blueberry and mushroom picking, tourists can also see the architectural monuments: the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which was built in the 18th century. A monumental two-tiered bell tower stands next to the church. In addition, there is a small village of Kelechyn not far from Pylypets, and in Kelechyn there is a mineral water spring with a high iron content. So you can also come to this region for good Carpathian health.
