Friends, this trip to the Carpathians is almost all inclusive with accommodation in comfortable lodges and daily hiking.
We use private transfers for convenient access to the starting point of hiking routes.
The complexity of the peaks will increase gradually and during the program we will climb the incredibly beautiful and iconic peaks of the Carpathians: Rotilo, Khomyak and Shpytsi.
If you want to relax, you can skip one of the walks and enjoy the scenery directly from the lodges, as they are located next to the forest.
In addition to hiking, we will also get acquainted with the culture and traditions of the region. Believe me, it's very interesting!
We spend our evenings in a fun and informative way: telling stories, playing board games, or watching movies about the mountains on the projector.
The trip is ideal for both first-time hikers and more experienced travelers who like comfort and don't want to carry a heavy backpack.
As soon as you step outside our comfortable lodges, you can enjoy the forest. Imagine how your morning coffee will taste by the river!
We make all the approaches by a custom-made shuttle bus, which picks us up at the lodges, takes us to the start of the hiking route and waits at the finish line at the specified time. It is as comfortable and time-saving as possible.
During the program, we will climb three beautiful and iconic peaks of the Carpathians: Rotylo, Shpytsi and Khomyak.
The program includes one day for an in-depth exploration of the region's culture and traditions.
The trip is suitable both for the first acquaintance with the mountains and for more experienced travelers. The program is rich and interesting.
Experienced team leaders will accompany the group along the entire route, to make your trip as unforgettable and safe as possible!
The consultant who will communicate with you before the trip has been to the Carpathians many times and will tell you about the details from personal experience!
More than 24,000 participants have already gone through the program and 97.8% were satisfied. We are sure you will be too!
The beauty of the scenery depends on the weather. The advantage is that we make most of our trips in different weather conditions, quickly adapting and filling the program with events without ending it early.
Meeting at the Vorokhta train station at 10.00 am. By this time most trains arrive, we will wait for all of them and then go for adventures. It takes about 20 minutes to drive from the station to the lodges, so we will leave Vorokhta with its large hotels and get closer to the Prut River. It is this river that will be gurgling outside your windows for the next few days, and the nearby forest will meet our group in a couple of hours. Then we'll get acquainted, check into our rooms early, have a short briefing and help the team leader prepare sandwiches for the first trip. If possible, we will have a little rest from the road and at about 14:00 we will go for a walk along the forest trails, in the direction of Mount Ryzha. We put thermoses, sandwiches, flashlights, seats and a small supply of goodies in our backpacks, which we will fry at sunset while on a panoramic meadow.
At dusk, we return home, where dinner is already served. Is it time to rest? No! At about 21:00, in the spacious living room, the team leader will play board games, not necessarily, but very desirable with the participation of everyone. If only the mafia comes to mind, then you will be in for a surprise, which you will learn about later.
Distance by car: approx. 6 km
Distance on foot: approx. 5 km
Breakfast will be served by skilled chefs, we will wrap up our sandwiches and goodies and go hiking in the mountains. Today is the day when you want more, more beautiful. And we hope that the forecast shows no clouds in the way of our team!
Around 9:00 am, a shuttle will pick us up and take us to the village of Volova. Already at 10:00 we will gradually begin to gain height to Mount Rotylo. If this name doesn't mean anything to you yet, your impressions will multiply with every hour. This path and the peak itself are perhaps the most beautiful in the modern Carpathians, where jeeping destroys other destinations and impressions of walks. From Mount Rotylo, you can see all the majesty of Chornohora, a mountain range that brings together the highest peaks of the Carpathians - Hoverla, Pip-Ivan, Petros. After enjoying all the views, we will start descending to be at the lodges by 17:00.
In the evening, a sauna or bathhouse are paid for a couple of hours, and the most hardy people gather at 21:00 for the familiar gatherings with games.
Distance by car: approx. 50 km
Distance on foot: approx. 12 km
Today is a day of rest from hiking. We wake up later and get ready for breakfast around 10:00. At 12:30 drivers arrive and take the team to meet with artists. The first meeting is at 13:00, where we are shown trembitas, their process of creation and sounding. The second meeting is at 16:00 with a lady who preserves the traditions of the Hutsuls and collects embroidered shirts of different times.
On our way back from the meeting, we suggest visiting the iconic Stara Vorokhta restaurant and having dinner in a new atmosphere. The games are scheduled to start at 21:00, but tomorrow's plan is more ambitious than the previous ones and everyone needs to be inspired to implement it, so it's better not to stay up late.
Distance by car: approx. 60 km
Distance on foot: approx. 3 km
Over the previous couple of days, we have already adapted our bodies to walking on the slopes, so today we will have an even more interesting walk. We will wake up early to leave our homes by 8 a.m. to get to the starting point, which is 40 km away on a dirt road.
The program will be maximized if we climb the Shpytsi, one of the peaks of the Chornohora mountain range. The path to it goes through Lake Nesamovyte. For the first hours we are climbing smoothly through forests with springs. In a couple of hours, the forest zone remains below and, if the weather permits, we will see spectacular views of the 2000s. Every step becomes more interesting and beautiful.
Around noon, the group arrives at the place. Here are overhanging rocks with sharp peaks - this is the desired ascent to the Spikes. If there is no snow, and it stays there even in the summer months, we will walk here for a while. We follow a well-worn path down to the road connecting Vorokhta and the Zaroslyak base.
We are careful in planning this day, because the Chornohora massif is quite capricious and needs respect. Wind or cloud cover can change ambitious plans and the team will return to the forest area along a safe path.
Dinner is scheduled for half past eight, and if you wish, and this time at your own expense, you can go to the bathhouse.
Distance by car: approximately 40 km
Distance on foot: approximately 12 km
We hope that everything will go according to plan, and yesterday we climbed Mount Spikes. So today a new mountain awaits us.
By 9 a.m. paper maps appear on the table, we get acquainted with the program - it is Mt. Khomyak, 11 kilometers away. And this is Mt. Yahidna, 8 km away. Or even simpler - Mt. Magura - 5 km. Depending on the motivation of the team, the team leader chooses to go to a well-known and accessible peak in the vicinity of Vorokhta, which will take up to 6 hours. It is worth reminding you that you can stay in the huts and let your body rest if you wish. But we are happy when the whole group is motivated to go to the mountains more!
This evening we plan to grill some goodies on the grill and have a last joint evening.
Distance by car: approximately 30 km
Distance on foot: approximately 8km
This is the final morning of our team. After 6 days, it's not easy to pack up the room, but there's no escaping it. We should sit down together for breakfast and say thank you to the trip and the picturesque Carpathians. And perhaps also to ourselves for choosing this format, this event.
Drivers will gradually take participants to the train station in Vorokhta village. Buy tickets, remembering to check out of the house no later than 12:00
Distance by car: approximately 10 km
Distance on foot: approximately 0 km
Depending on the weather conditions, condition and general wishes of the group, the team leader has the right to make changes to the route.
In general, the Carpathians are a rather rainy region, so you need to be prepared for anything - take a raincoat! It's better to be safe than sorry!
Also, to participate in climbing, you must not have any diseases incompatible with active tourism: list is here.
