For whom is Migovo better than Bukovel?

The number of advertisements, lifts and kilometers of pistes in Bukovel is many times greater than in other Ukrainian resorts. But how fair is that? Won't thousands of Ukrainian tourists become victims of "fashion", and won't they waste thousands of hryvnias by choosing a popular resort? I decided to look into this, and went to Migovo - a small but modern resort in the Chernivtsi region.

We did not arrive quickly, but we were in no hurry. We had a quiet lunch in Dubno at Antik House. Everything shows that this restaurant-hotel is owned by a passionate person with a sense of taste in everything from cornices and furniture, to the choice and education of waiters. Each piece of furniture is like a part of a single old collection. At the same time, prices are not more expensive than Kiev fast food.


The compactness of the resort is conducive to rest with children. From any hotel to the center of the resort - 3-5 minutes on foot with a 3-year-old child, collecting all the icicles along the way. All the main paths, although steep, are paved. It will be difficult with a stroller, but on a sled - it’s the best!

The track is 1200 m, it is well snowed, the fenders are everywhere where necessary, the snowcat is working, the rescuers smoke and read smartphones, there are almost no queues. Everything is fine, if it weren't for... a yoke! Slow, old, twin ski lift. . . This ski lift is perhaps the biggest omission of the resort.

On the second day, walking with my daughter around the territory, we found brand new supports behind the forest, it seems for a future armchair. Dr. Watson, who was supposed to study with an instructor the next day, was instructed to find out more from him. “Language” caught a talkative, and we learned that last year (2014) we put supports under the future chair lift, and cleared a new ski run for it. But, as it usually happens, they did not agree on a price with one of the owners of the land (the land was sold to local residents), and the crisis broke out. Therefore, the launch has been postponed until better times.

There are two ski schools in Migovo, the price of an instructor is 160 UAH/hour. We saw how a woman with two children came up and took three instructors at once - for herself and for each of the children. I recommend "Kashtan", a school with an ideology, and not just for the sake of money.

Rentals at every turn. Prices are around 80-90 UAH / day for a complete set, but we didn’t find anything anywhere for a three-year-old leg.


Prices in Migovo are not just low, they are ridiculous. Resting with my wife and two children, we spent an average of about 150 UAH per dinner for everyone, including dessert and compote! And our biggest bill in the restaurant was 190 UAH. . I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw half a liter of beer on the menu for 10 UAH. . Of course, the cuisine will not shake the gourmet's imagination. But do you really need culinary delights in the mountains, in the fresh air, after active skiing? Most of all we liked the restaurant "Kolyba" outside the complex. He is somehow more soulful than the others. . . I did not like the canteen at Hetman at all.

Whom should I advise Migovo?

  • Firstly, for those who are just starting to ski. Because the track is perfect for training, there are more than enough instructors and prices. . .
  • Secondly, for those traveling with children. In Bukovel, they are uncomfortable, restless, expensive. And Migovo is just expanse.
  • Thirdly, for those for whom skiing is not the most important thing in winter recreation. If after two hours on the slope you spend the same amount in a restaurant, and then the same amount in bed, and then a short walk... and back to the restaurant - Migovo is an excellent choice for you.
  • You are definitely not in Migovo:

  • If you like parties and discos.
  • If you're glamorous and have leather seats in your Mercedes ML.
  • If 80 km/h is your average speed on the ski run and you basically only ski on black ones I wish you all a good holiday!
  • Passwords and appearances
