Something clumsy and pompous!
Bukovel resembles a poorly educated offspring of wealthy parents, who doesn’t really know how to do anything, but the requests already exceed all conceivable limits. Among its advantages - only blue blood and some inclinations.
Without going into details. . .
An advanced skier in Bukovel will only be interested in 1-2 days. Although there are many trails, none of them inspires awe, like the North or the Center on Trostyan or the top of Podobovets. Like any Ukrainian ski resort, Bukovel can be traveled up and down in a day. My friend and I went for 5 days, but we only rode 3 full days, because we were tired!
Rocks on the slopes! I don’t know why they couldn’t be filled up, but there are small stones on almost any slope, even on the one where Yushchenko skated.
EVERYTHING is expensive! Starting from subscriptions (100-110 UAH / day), including food (sandwiches in fast food - 12 UAH each), rental, and ending with luggage storage (15-25 UAH). Luckily the toilets are free.
Queues for lifts. The maximum in February is 15 minutes of waiting at the 2nd and 7th lifts on weekends. They say it was much worse last year.
Transport is a terrible problem if you don’t have your own car and don’t live in Bukovel itself (and people obviously don’t live in Bukovel without a car. Have you seen their prices? ) Taxis are terribly expensive, and minibuses run rarely and not at all when needed. So standing on the highway waiting for a minibus for an hour, with skis and in the cold, is a very likely scenario for those who settled in Yaremche, Tatariv or Yablunitsa.
Accommodation prices are shocking. Do not compare with our Polish neighbors - two or three times lower. After the review
Andrey, any desire to go to a ski resort for millionaires has disappeared.
Шокируют цены на проживание.Не сравнить с нашими соседями поляками- в два три раза ниже.После отзыва
Андрея всякое желание ехать на горнолыжный курорт для миллионеров отпало.
I left around March 2007. They lived in Yablunytsia. Big problem with minibuses. It is simply not realistic to get there. Although there were only 3 days. One day we rode. I liked the tracks. There was relatively much snow, few people (did not go on holidays). I wanted to go on winter vacation in 2008, but read the reviews ... Probably Poland or Slovakia will leave again. Although, you have to look at Turkey.
Їздила біля березня 2007 року. Жили у Яблуниці. Велика проблема з маршрутками. Доїхати просто не реально. Хоча були лише 3 дні. Один день каталися. Траси понравилися. Снігу було відносно багато, людей мало (їздили не на свята). Хотіла поїхати на зимові канікули 2008 року, але почитала відгуки... Мабуть знову убкде Польща чи Словакія. Хоча, треба подивитись Туреччину.
We went for a couple of years in a row, the prices are very high, but my child and I are lovers of comfort ourselves, so we lived in the Bukovel complex. Last year, at such prices, the desire to go disappeared, they took vouchers to Turkey to the ski resort in Bursa. On the same money received a lot of pleasure and attention. The lifts are right next to the entrance to the hotel, I went down the mountain to eat without taking off my shoes. Skate passes, meals, drinks, sauna, gym are included in the price of the tour. I recommend to everyone.
Мы ездили пару лет подряд, цены очень высокие, но мы с ребенком и сами любители комфорта, поэтому жили в комплексе "Буковель". В прошлом году по таким ценам ехать желание отпало, взяли путевки в Турцию на горно-лыжный курорт в Бурсе. На теже деньги получили массу удовольствия и внимания. Подъемники сразу возле входа в отель, спустился с горы покушал, не снимая ботинок. Скейтпасы, питание, напитки, сауна, спортзал входят в стоимость путевки. Всем рекомендую.
We went 2 numbers to Bukovel. We didn’t get to Bukovel from Palyanitsa, stood in a traffic jam for 1 hour 25 minutes and turned into the Cherry tract to the FOMich restaurant, ate because the road was exhausting. Two of our friends made it to the ski lifts on foot, got off 2 times and walked back to us. It’s not realistic to stand in line for 15-20 minutes. It’s good that we were on foot, people stood in line for an hour and a half to leave the territory. Nightmare!
Ездили 2числа на Буковель. До Буковеля из Паляницы не доехали, стояли 1час 25 мин в пробке и свернули в урочище Вишня в ресторан ФОМИЧ, поели т.к дорога измотала. Двое из наших друзей пешком добрались до подъемников, съехали по 2 раза и пешком к нам. Не реально стоять по 15-20 мин в очереди.Хорошо, что были пешком, люди стояли по полтора часа в очереди, что бы выехать с территории. Кошмар!
As I understand it, this year, due to the crisis, everyone who planned to travel to Austria-Italy rushed to Bukovel. But our experience in building infrastructure is not, and that's what happened. I know some other people who stood in line for an hour when they were going there, and then another one and a half, when they were going to leave in the evening.
Я так понял, что в этом году, в связи с кризисом, все кто планировал в Австрию-Италию, ломанулись в Буковель. А у наших опыта строительства инфраструктуры нет, вот и получилось. Знаю ещё одних людей, которые час стояли в очереди когда ехали туда, и потом ещё полтора, когда вечером собирались выехать обратно.
