The Ukrainian Carpathians are a land of forested mountains, wooden churches and Hutsul villages. Hoverla, 2,061 m, is Ukraine's highest mountain, a popular day hike from the Zaroslyak base. Yaremche and Vorokhta are good bases; Bukovel is the main ski resort.


Because of the war, most governments advise against travel to Ukraine; check your government's travel advice before going.
