View the retreat tiersHow we run a week
Skole, Yaremche and the Chornohora ridge. Groups of sixteen, never more.
We plan Carpathian wellness and spa retreat tours the way a good host plans a long weekend: two unhurried spa or sauna sessions, one walk, one long lunch, and the evening left open. Nothing is compulsory.
Sixteen guests is the ceiling. It means the trail pace is set by the slowest walker, the sauna is never crowded, and Olena or Taras is on every walk in person.
Your price is quoted once, per person, in Ukrainian hryvnia, and covers accommodation, transfers from Lviv or Ivano-Frankivsk, the listed meals, spa and sauna access, guided walks and the all-inclusive arranging of the whole stay. Each day is labelled easy, up to 6 km with under 150 m of climbing, or moderate, up to 12 km with under 400 m, and a shorter alternative is always available.
Wellness time here is for relaxation and general well-being. It is not medical care, and we will never describe it as any kind of cure or treatment. You can read more about what each tier includes on the retreat tiers page, or write to us with a question at our contact form.

Guest notes
Sixteen of us on the ridge above Yaremche and nobody rushed. The sauna after the second walking day is what I still think about.
I asked for the shorter route on the third day and got it without a single sigh from the group. That honesty is why I booked again.
Three meals a day, a warm room, and Olena checking the weather each evening. I came home rested rather than wrung out.
