DirectionsSkiing usually runs from December to the end of March. At Drahobrat, the highest resort, the season can start in November and sometimes lasts until mid-May, according to the resort. Resorts announce their opening date once the snow arrives: as of 23 October 2026 Bukovel has published its 2026/27 prices but not its opening date.
The page lists the resorts of the Polish and Slovak Carpathians that operate in the 2026/27 season: Poland: Szczyrk Mountain Resort, Słotwiny Arena ski area in Krynica-Zdrój, Wisła, Witów-Ski family ski station near Zakopane, Wierchomla ski area in the Beskid Sądecki, Gubałówka ski slope and snowpark (PKL), Zakopane, Kasprowy Wierch ski area above Zakopane, Kotelnica Białczańska ski resort, Białka Tatrzańska, Mosorny Groń in Zawoja, Pilsko ski area in Korbielów, Palenica ski area (PKL), Szczawnica, Polana Szymoszkowa ski station, Zakopane, Skrzyczne, Czantoria in Ustroń, Czorsztyn-Ski ski station, Kluszkowce, Jaworzyna Krynicka ski resort, Krynica-Zdrój; Slovakia: Bachledka, Veľká Rača, Vrátna Free Time Zone (Malá Fatra), Park Snow Donovaly, Kubínska hoľa, Malinô Brdo (Ružomberok), Starý Smokovec, Tatranská Lomnica, Štrbské Pleso, Jasná Nízke Tatry. Slopes, lifts and ski pass prices (in złoty or euro) come from the official websites, with the date checked; how to get there from Ukraine is on each resort’s page. We do not offer accommodation abroad.
Bukovel for 2026/27: a day pass costs UAH 1,600 in the low season, UAH 2,250 in the high season and UAH 2,800 over the New Year days. 2025/26 prices from official sites: Krasiia UAH 1,000–1,300, Trostian in Slavske UAH 1,000–1,200, Plai (Plavia) UAH 1,350–1,600, Bukovytsia UAH 900–1,000. Other resorts usually publish new prices just before the season.
Drahobrat: its slopes lie at 1,400–1,700 m. In winter 4×4 transfers take you up from Yasinia.
Krasiia states that its main slope is more than 3.5 km long with a 600 m vertical drop. Bukovel has 71 slopes on several mountains.
For your first days on skis choose small slopes with drag lifts and rope tows: Myhovo, Izky, Bukovytsia, the training slopes of Bukovel. The big resorts have ski schools with instructors.
By car or train to Yasinia; from there a mountain road climbs to Drahobrat. In winter only 4×4 vehicles use it, so take a transfer and leave your car below.
The «Where to stay near the lifts» section lists guesthouses, cottages and hotels near each resort’s lifts, with prices. You can book without commission by phone: +38 (073) 757-83-03.
The «Snow and weather» section shows the MET Norway forecast at the bottom and top stations of each resort: the temperature now, fresh snow over 3 and 7 days and the freezing level. It is an estimate from the precipitation forecast, not the snow depth on the slopes — check the resort’s website for what is open.
Facts about slopes and lifts come from the resorts’ official websites; the date checked is shown next to each source. Prices, opening hours and the season opening may change — check the resort’s website before you travel.
