An exclusive resort for the few
The financial success of Bukovel, destroying the charm of a small mountain resort, fortunately has not yet reached Dragobrat. The most expensive room for four costs about 3500 UAH, a bowl of bogracha in the best place is 150 UAH, tea / coffee is 40. There is no asphalt at all. Getting around the resort, even to the store, is possible only in jeeps, sledges or on foot. Not a single Handicap and ATB for the entire resort. But the average age of trees is measured in centuries! And in the center of the resort, you can get lost in the forest.
There are 10 ski lifts on Draga for the entire resort (there are only two of them). But to go around everything, you need 4 different ski passes. They should agree among themselves, make a common ski pass, and double the price! But it is known where there are two Ukrainians - there are three hetmans. There is only one normal ski pass - on the Oasis, firstly, there is money on the card, and not its own currency, and secondly, this money can be returned if you have not rolled everything out.
Special thanks to the weather on Dragobrat! Thank you for creating indescribable beauty (see photos), mountains of natural snow, cosmic landscapes and alien sculptures, covering the trees with thick snow from the frozen fog of the cloud. Thanks to the weather for not letting too many tourists in here. It happens that the ski lifts are closed due to the wind for several days in a row. And even when open, the visibility is 20-30 meters. If you go upstairs in such weather, you can experience complete vestibular-visual deprivation. Standing on skis, in pitch light darkness, I could not understand either the direction or the speed. Several times I lost not only the direction, but I didn’t feel at all whether I was swinging down or standing still, hardly distinguishing up and down.
And there is no road to Dragobrat. Rather, it is, but only for GAZ-66 and UAZ. It happens that you are lucky to get a modern jeep, but more often you have to call the same Gaz and pay a special tariff to pull it out.
I love Dragobrat! I won't be back soon!
