LLC " According to the organization Free Svydovets, which advocates the preservation of the Svidovets mountain range, where they have been trying to build a resort for several years, the appeal was received at the end of 2022..

The history of the transformation of mountain ranges located near Bukovel into resorts has been going on since 2016. Then the company of Igor Kolomoisky announced the construction of the Svidovets ski resort, which should occupy 1,400 hectares of territory, which should include more than 30 cable lifts, 230 km of ski slopes, 700 hectares of hotels and other buildings. The resort itself was expected to receive 28 thousand people at the same time..

This construction of a mega-resort was opposed by environmentalists, conservationists and local residents.. Now this case is in court - in 2021, the Supreme Court overturned the decision of previous instances regarding the construction of a ski resort on Svidovka and sent the case for reconsideration to the Transcarpathian District Administrative Court.

However, as activists point out, the ski resorts offered to local communities for construction are part of one large agglomerate located nearby..

“All three planned resorts are located nearby and will be connected to the current Bukovel. That is, as a result, a monster resort is planned, designed for more than 65 thousand people at the same time.! For comparison, it's like building a whole city among the Carpathians,” activists say..

Both Polyanitskaya and Ust-Chernyansky selrads agreed to the construction of the mentioned resorts on their territory. Now the documents necessary for the construction are being prepared, and the work in the mountains, which will begin with deforestation, may begin this year..

However, activists of the Free Svydovets initiative note that the negative environmental consequences of such a large-scale construction in the mountains will outweigh any short-term benefits.. In addition, construction is envisaged in protected areas..
