Today Yaremche is a famous lowland resort that attracts tourists with its natural beauty and unique landscapes. Mountain ranges, dense forests, and numerous waterfalls create a unique atmosphere, making this city an ideal vacation spot. Here you can enjoy hiking, skiing, quad biking, or even rafting on mountain rivers.

However, not only natural resources contribute to the popularity of Yaremche. An important role in the development of the resort was played by the railroad, which was laid through difficult mountain conditions. It became an important factor that stimulated the development of tourist infrastructure. By the beginning of the XX century, more than 70 complexes had been built in Yaremche, which contributed to the growth in the number of vacationers.

The city is part of the Yaremche City Council, which also includes the villages of Vorokhta, Mykulychyn, Tatariv, and others. The entire territory covers 65.34 thousand hectares and has the status of a mountainous area, which gives the region a special natural appeal.

In 1980, the Carpathian National Nature Park was established in Yaremche, covering an area of more than 50,000 hectares. This place is not only important for recreation but also of great environmental importance. The park was formed on the site where the Tethys Ocean existed more than 35 million years ago, and there are numerous natural attractions on its territory.

Today, Yaremche is one of the leading resorts in the Carpathian region, attracting tourists not only from Ukraine but also from abroad. In addition to skiing and hiking tours, the city offers a variety of activities, including cycling and horseback riding tours, excursions to the Carpathians, and bathing in vats. The region continues to develop while preserving its unique atmosphere and cultural heritage.
