LIFTS AND TRAILS
Dear guests!
At Bukovel resort there are 4-seater, 3-seater, 2-seater chairlifts and T-bar lifts.
For training purposes, we offer access to designated training areas with multi-lifts and transport tracks.
All chairlift routes are mutually interconnected. You may reach a particular line using the ski slopes network.
The slope marking rules are as follows: the number of the slope corresponds to the number of the lift to which it belongs. You may use a particular lifts in order to reach the other one, which is located on the same slope.
Before getting on the lift, mind the ski slope you want to get to. You can study the maps of the slopes on the lower lift stations.
Important!
Before getting up the slope, check your equipment (ski, snowboard, mount, boots, helmet, etc.).
We also emphasize the risky nature of wintersports and the possibility of traumatic events, thus check up your equipment before you start. Use the slopes according to your experience and skill level. Please adhere to these Rules, and take into consideration your physical and psychological condition. Wearing a ski helmet is mandatory for skiing or snowboarding at Bukovel!
