Amateur Short winter walk
Over Bulchynokha to the Tomnatyk mountain pasture
Half a day off skis: from Bukovel over Bulchynokha to the Tomnatyk mountain pasture and back.
Winter specifics
The resort's ski slopes run down Bulchynokha. Do not walk on them: skiers come down there. Keep to the path or the road beside the slopes.
Ski boots will not do: you need winter hiking boots, gaiters and poles. After a snowfall the trail beyond Bulchynokha may be untrodden.
The café on Tomnatyk works in summer; in winter the hut may be closed, and the spring freezes or is buried in snow. Take a thermos of hot tea.
Do not go on from Tomnatyk to Synjak: the climb is over big stones, which in winter are icy and hidden under snow. Turn back at the pasture. Set out before lunch to be back in daylight.

About the route
A short outing for those who came to Bukovel to ski and want to leave the slopes on foot for at least half a day. It starts right at the resort, no car needed.
The route climbs Bulchynokha (1455 m). On and near the top there are resting places with benches. Then it goes a little down to the Tomnatyk mountain pasture (1348 m). On the pasture there is a hut with a café in summer, and a spring. From there you see the stony top of Synjak. The way back is the same.
It is about 4.5 km to Tomnatyk, about 9 km there and back. It is the shortest way from Bukovel to a mountain pasture with a view, but the climb up Bulchynokha is noticeable.
