Ukrainian Carpathians: Overview

Grab your sense of adventure and head to the hills.

One of the Ukraine's premier natural beauties, the low, rolling peaks of the Carpathian Mountains are one of the country's leading holiday spots. Hikers and skiers flock to the hills for impressive vistas from barely marked trails, and for the opportunity to explore rarely visited nooks and crannies.
