Ski resort Slavske: skiing, tracks, recreation, prices

The village of Slavske, located in the picturesque Skoliv district in the Lviv region, rises 590 meters above sea level. In the first decades of the 20th century, this place was actively visited by tourists, in addition, additional trains, known as “ski-bridge”, were specially launched there. However, the events of wartime and the complex politics of the Soviet Union influenced its development. But since the 1980s, the resort “Slavske” again began to gain popularity among skiers and snowboarders of various levels. The reason for this was its advantageous location, the presence of numerous ski slopes and the breathtaking landscapes of the Beskids and Gorgan, which are covered with forests.

During your vacation at Slavske resort, you can enjoy local gastronomic delicacies, drink aromatic tea made from mountain herbs or taste mulled wine with spices. In addition, thanks to the constantly operating rescue services, recreation in Slavsky is not only pleasant, but also safe.
