We invite you to an exciting winter one-day ascent of Hoverla, Ukraine’s highest peak! This tour is ideal for those who want to experience the winter atmosphere of the Carpathians without spending an entire vacation. In one day, you can ascend the legendary peak, enjoy the snowy landscapes, and breathe in the fresh mountain air.
Hoverla (2061 m) is one of the most picturesque mountains in the Carpathians, especially in winter. The climb is accessible to those with average physical fitness, as the route is well-designed and safe. We suggest climbing from the Zaroslyak tourist base, where the most convenient and popular route begins: an elevation gain of approximately 750 m, and the ascent takes only 3-5 hours.
The tour program includes an ascent to the summit with an experienced guide.

Route for climbing Hoverla in winter
day
Next, the group moves on to the next point of our trip β the Zaroslyak tourist base. Here, the group will receive a detailed briefing and thorough preparation for the ascent.
By 9 a.m., the climb begins. In general, under favorable circumstances and good weather conditions, the ascent to Hoverla takes up to 5 hours. 2:00 p.m. is the latest time by which we will be at the summit. The slope we will be climbing is rather gentle, and walking on it is fairly easy, even despite the snow.
The route begins with a wide and comfortable road that runs through a spruce forest. The scenery along the way is incredibly beautiful. Gradually, the wide road turns into a narrow trail winding between small evergreen trees and bushes. Following this trail, we eventually reach a vast mountain meadow. In summer, it is covered with lush grass and beautiful flowers; now, it is a flat plain covered with patches of snow. From the meadow to the summit, there is about one hour of hiking left.
After reaching the summit, the group will have some time to enjoy the panoramic views and take photos. After that, we will descend the mountain. Under good conditions, descending the same route takes about 3 hours.
Upon returning to the Zaroslyak tourist base, we will stop at a cozy cafΓ© where you can warm up with a cup of hot tea. After that, according to the plan, we head back to Vorokhta.
Distance: 10 km, elevation gain: 750 m.

The program is not final and may be adjusted depending on the weather, the condition of the participants and other factors.
