Slavsko ski resort is located 120 km from Lviv.

Trostian Mountain

The other reason for Slavsko's popularity is wide variety of slopes available to skiers. There are four different mountains with ski slope. The most famous, Trostian Mountain, at 1232 m above sea level with nearly 500 m of vertical drop, has the greatest variety of slopes in one place, including a number of challenging ski runs for experienced skiers. In fact, there are no beginners' runs on the mountain. The views from Trostian are fantastic.

Other mountains for skiing in Slavsko

On the other side of town, Politekh Mountain is perfect for beginners. The mountain is a 20 minute walk from Slavsko train station. There is a very gradual hill for starting skiers and three tow lifts. Mountain Pohar rises to nearly 1000 m and has two tow lifts of 700 m and 800 m in length. Runs are for intermediate skiers and advanced beginners.

Velykyy Verkh Mountain is at 1242 m and has 550 m vertical drop and quite long runs down the mountain. However, it is not as varied as Trostian. It is often referred to as Zakhar Berkut

Lifts, lines, and ski rental

Except for a chair lift that takes you from the very base of the mountain to the very summit, all other lifts are tows. Lines at Slavsko are notoriously long. Waits of 30 to 90 (!) minutes are not uncommon, especially on weekends and holidays. In addition, the many tow lifts on the mountain seem to break down a lot. Large moguls often form. Nonetheless, the skiing is plenty good, and skiers keep coming and coming. Ski rentals are available all over in and around Slavsko.
