By the end of the year, the state railway company Ukrzaliznytsia will launch the «Bukovel Express.» It will run on the route from Lviv to Vorokhta, a popular spot for skiing. Also, the train will have a stop in the village of Tatariv, from where the skiers can take a taxi to the mountain resort Bukovel, located 15 km from there. 

The route will use a modern diesel train of domestic production, which the company will receive from the manufacturer in December. This train was manufactured by the Krukiv Carriage Building Plant, located in the central-Ukrainian town of Kremenchuk. It has a maximum speed of 140 km/h, and consists of three cars, having in total 170 seats. You can buy the tickets on the Ukrzaliznytsia website.

We will add that the train has modern elements of an interior and an exterior and is adapted for transportation of the disabled people.

Let us also remind that previously, the company launched a number of trains to Tatariv. For the convenience of passengers, transfers from the bus station to Bukovel function at a fixed price – UAH 50 ($2). Also this year, during the New Year holidays, Ukrainian ski resorts will accept only the visitors vaccinated from Covid-19. Read the Covid-rules for the resorts here.

It’s worth noting that January more so than December is a holiday month in Ukraine, as Christmas here is celebrated 7 January.
