Ukraine Winter Activities

“Kharkov Switzerland” (Kharkovskaya Shveytsariya)

Downhill skiing is the featured item in terms of winter activities with the Kharkov
Switzerland, known as “Kharkovskaya Shveytariya” in these parts, at
the very north of the city. Two slopes, at 300 meters each, have an altitude
drop of about 70 meters. One track is slightly dropping, and the other has a
30% downgrade at the beginning and finishes with about 45% a drop at the end.
There is also a track designed for sledging. It is located aside from the two
main tracks. Two elevators will lift you to the top in less than 5 minutes. The
ski trails are groomed with snow cats. The facility accommodates more than 100
skiers, with rental facilities and a typical warming Ukrainian cafe.
