Yaremche and Bukovel are the two best-known mountain destinations of the Prykarpattia region, and from Truskavets you can combine them in one long day. In Yaremche the Probiy waterfall on the Prut river awaits, where the water crashes over stone rapids, and in Bukovel a panorama of ridges from Mount Bukovel. Along the way the guide tells about the Hutsul region, its traditions and history.

We leave early in the morning and make our way through the Prykarpattia region to Yaremche. It is a small mountain town that has become a centre of green tourism. By the Probiy waterfall you can hear the roar of the water from afar: the Prut tumbles over rapids among stone boulders, and a pedestrian bridge lets you see the force of nature up close and take bright photos. Right beside it is a souvenir market with works by Hutsul craftsmen, honey and Carpathian teas, and nearby you can have lunch. Then we drive to Bukovel, Ukraine’s largest ski resort. Here you can take the chairlift up Mount Bukovel and see the Carpathian ridges, visit the GutsulLand ethnopark or simply stroll around the resort. Zakhid Travel provides transportation and a guide. Chairlift tickets can be added to your order.
