Ski lifts in Yablunytsya
 

YABLUNYTSKY PEREVAL Ski Club (Yablunytsya Pass)

This is a private drag lift located next to Yablunytsya Pass lodge, in a forested area. It's easy to notice when you are on the main road.

The trail is over 500 m long, it's red according to the difficulty level and designed for beginners and amateurs in winter sports. The lower part of the hill is rather flat and suits for studying how to do winter sports. Generally speaking, the slope there has quite hilly, twisty and complex parts which makes it a good choice for practising various maneuvers on the hill. The skiing area has grassy coverage.
You can enjoy beautiful views of the mountain surroundings from the upper point of the skiing area.

Ski lessons are available as well (from 100 UAH per hour).

This hill is opposite the one where Koza lift is placed. You can get there easily by car: take a turn from the main road following "Gorgany" sign, or turn in a smaller road between the trees (go through the grid gate) — it's the road to the lower station. If you go on foot, the first route takes about 20-25 min, the second one — about 15.
