Our region is unique in many ways, but the quality of mountain air is unparalleled, boasting curative effects for both body and soul. Every breath you take is truly refreshing: the lungs are filled with clean air, and the head is filled with clean thoughts. That is why the Carpathian mountains have been a place of renewal for generations of Ukrainians.
Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health notes that spending time outdoors, particularly in mountainous regions, reduces the risk of chronic diseases, lowers blood pressure, and improves sleep quality. Fresh mountain air improves the functionality of lungs and cardiovascular system, helps improve immune system potency, reduces allergy symptoms.
In addition, a study by Chongqing University "Explore the Benefits of Natural Air: New Insights from Field and Chamber Tests on Cognitive Performance" proves that mountain air helps improve cognitive functions. It increases the level of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that regulates mood. The high-altitude environment also reduces cortisol levels, the stress hormone, thanks to the relaxing effects of nature and increased oxygen saturation. Mountain hikes help reduce anxiety and improve overall well-being.
To ensure that the tradition of mountain recovery continues in our lives and culture, Bukovel actively monitors the quality of air. Regular checks using modern equipment allow us to ensure the best recovery conditions for our guests. It is this approach that makes your rest not just pleasant, but also highly curative.
