Winter activities in the Carpathians: what to do besides skiing

Snow tubing: adrenaline for everyone

Do you know what unites a 5-year-old child, a 30-year-old mother, and a 60-year-old grandmother? That's right - snow tubing or cheesecake riding! This is the rare case when no skills, training, or special clothing are required.

Tubing in the Carpathians is when you get on an inflatable “cheesecake”, rush down the slope and for the next 30 seconds you just scream with happiness and pleasure. Laughter – all the way up the mountain, adrenaline – for the week ahead.

Tubing Voevodyno has become a real calling card of the resort. We have a specially equipped track, which is located right in front of the Voevodyno tourist complex. Here, children and adults enjoy the slopes, fresh frosty air, and get vivid sensations and impressions from morning to evening.

Winter walks: when silence heals

Sometimes the best winter fun in the Carpathians is hiking. A snowy forest in winter is space. Silence, which is not found in the city, air, after which the lungs sing, beauty, from which you can not take your eyes off. Winter walks in the Carpathians are:

• the crunch of snow underfoot;
• snow-covered trees, like from a Christmas card;
• animal tracks in the snow – not only tourists live here;
• access to the most beautiful places where there are no people, just you, the mountains and endless snow;
• air that you can eat with a spoon.

There are several in Vojvodina tourist routes for walks - from easy to more serious, which are designed for different physical conditions and training of tourists. You can go on a hike on your own, or you can go with an instructor who will tell you about the rules of movement in the mountains, how to properly distribute the load, overcome difficult climbs and descents, and share interesting stories.

You will get real pleasure from walking in the snow. Schönborn Park – the pearl of our resort and the highlight of the entire Transcarpathia. In the middle of the Carpathian forest, between the mountains of the Turyanska Valley, around the Zagatnoye Lake, a park with aristocratic charm and elegance spreads out. The park gives a wonderful atmosphere of peace and quiet, here you forget about the bustling world around you and as if you feel time has stopped, where every minute is filled with pleasure.

Bathhouse and SPA complex: let's warm up in the Transcarpathian style

After walking in the cold, the best thing that can happen is sauna in the Carpathians in winter. Just imagine – the hot stones of the bathhouse, snow falling outside the window, the air smells of pine needles and birch broom, and there is no need to rush anywhere.

Winter SPA in the mountains is a separate philosophy:

• are hot tubs open air with Carpathian herbs and a view of the snow-capped mountains;

Gatherings by the fireplace, games, conversations and comfort

Sometimes the best winter pastime is to do nothing. Sitting by the fireplace with a cup of hot tea, looking at the fire, talking about life or reading a book. This is also rest. And it is needed no less than activity.

Our wooden cottages with a fireplace – this is the place where you want to be alone with yourself and your thoughts on quiet winter evenings. Soft armchairs, crackling firewood, warmth from the fire, a view of the snow-capped mountains through panoramic windows – you can spend the whole evening here and not notice how time has flown by.

Winter evenings in the Carpathians can be very different. Evening programs are regularly organized in Voyevodyno - from concerts of local musicians to themed evenings with tastings. You can also play board games, go to tastings of Transcarpathian wines, or just have a chat over a glass of mulled wine in our bar or in one of the restaurants.

Our resort positions itself as a family holiday resort with children. And for our little guests, winter entertainment in the Carpathians is a separate topic.
