"Zakhar Berkut" is a former ski resort and tourist complex near the village Volosyanka at the foot of Mount Vysokyi Verkh, 5 km from Slavske. For decades, there was a chairlift to Vysokyi Verkh, surface lifts, a hotel with a sauna, swimming pool, and tub, as well as a Koliba at the top.
What is happening with the resort now
In the 2026/27 season, the resort is not operating. "Zakhar Berkut" ceased operations in its former format on March 2, 2026: in its place, OKKO Group is building a new resort GORO Mountain Resort. The old lift has been dismantled; in October 2026, GORO announced that the foundations for the stations and all supports of the new gondola road have been completed. The hotel, restaurant, and Koliba "Vysokyi Verkh" are marked as permanently closed on Google Maps, so we have removed the old contact numbers of the complex.
What will GORO Mountain Resort be like
- the first gondola lift in Ukraine by Doppelmayr, 2.8 km long, and two chairlifts with wind protection, each 1.5 km long;
- the resort's opening is planned for 2027;
- in the future — 41 ski and bike trails with a total length of 75 km and snowmaking over 345 hectares (the project is designed for 15 years, with several phases).
Where to ski this winter nearby
While construction is ongoing, the nearest operating slopes are in Slavske (Mount Trostyan) and at the resort Plai in Plavya. All resorts with prices and snow forecasts are in the review "Ski Resorts of the Carpathians".
How to get there
The nearest railway station is Slavske (5 km), about 25 km to the Kyiv — Chop highway, and approximately 140 km to Lviv.
