Pilipets is one of the largest ski resorts in Ukraine, located in Mezhigorsky district of Transcarpathian region, twenty kilometers from Volovets railway station.
The valley, in which the village Pilipets is located at an altitude of about seven hundred meters above sea level, is surrounded by several mountains — Velikiy Verkh, Gemba, Zhid Magura. On the slopes of these mountains there are ski slopes of varying degrees of difficulty and length (from nine hundred meters to three kilometers), as well as countless freeride trails.
