Ecosign crafted a visionary Master Plan for Bukovel Mountain Resort, designing ski infrastructure, villages, and recreational amenities to serve 20,000 skiers daily. Our comprehensive Master Plan includes 26 major lifts, 118 km of slopes, and 33,390 beds, transforming Bukovel into Ukraine’s premier ski destination.

Bukovel Mountain Resort is in Ukraine’s Carpathian Mountains, 100 km southwest of Ivano-Frankivsk. Ecosign commenced working with the new resort developer, Skorzonera Ltd., in 2004 to prepare a new Ski Area Master Plan. Ecosign’s Ski Area Master Plan called for the installation of 26 major lifts with a combined capacity of 57,000 skiers per hour to comfortably accommodate 20,000 skiers per day on 379 hectares of pistes. At build out in Phase 5, the area will have 118 km of ski slopes, making it one of the top 50 largest ski resorts in the world.

After completing the Resort Area Master Plan in 2005, Ecosign was retained to prepare a total Resort Master Plan including the design of several resort village centres, residential zones and seasonal recreational facilities. The Resort Area Master Plan we designed included: 13,200 beds in resort hotels in the village centres, 13,380 beds in multi-family ski in/out units, 3,650 beds in single family dwellings and 3,160 employee beds for a total of 33,390 beds. Ecosign also designed a total of 5,000 parking stalls for day visitors, over 3,000 of which are in two large parking structures to support the ski resort’s overall capacity of over 20,000 skiers per day. An additional 1,700 surface parking stalls are situated in various locations throughout the resort.

Other activities and amenities designed at the resort include an ice-skating-rink; giant slalom and mogul courses; snowmobile tours; heli-tours; summer hiking; lift accessed sightseeing and dining; airbag training centre; cycle racing; Segway; basketball; volleyball; badminton; paintball; ping-pong; a beach and lake area; Medical-centre; SPA-centre; and an entertainment area comprised of disco and nightclubs, pubs, billiards hall, bowling, hookah, and a conference hall. 

Bukovel Resort is considered one of the fastest growing mountain resorts in the world and is Ukraine’s first world class mountain resort. The area recorded a staggering 1.2 million skier visits during the 2010/2011 ski season, up from 50,000 skier visits in 2004. The area has been developed aggressively: 68 kms of pistes have been built along with 19 lifts, 16 of which have been installed since 2006.
