In winter, lovers of active recreation come here from all corners of the country and even from abroad.
As a ski resort located at an altitude of 850 meters above sea level, the village began to be famous from the end of the XIX century, when the railroad was conducted to it. The first guests of Vorokhta resort were Austrian servicemen, who learned sledding and skiing here. In 1957 the first ski school was opened in the village, and since the middle of the last century it became one of the centers for training Soviet athletes in ski jumping, biathlon, cross-country skiing and other winter sports.

Climbing to the beginning of the slopes is carried out by a high-speed 450-meter rope tow elevator, as well as chairlift length of 2 km. In addition, two more 100-meter elevators are installed in winter. Skiing is allowed not only in the daytime, but also at night, which attracts many fans of unusual recreation.

Near the piste there is a restaurant-museum «Donechka» with a unique interior, offering Carpathian and Ukrainian cuisine.
