Skiing at Sanatorium Syniak

The easy practice slope is next to the surface lift at Sanatorium Syniak. Syniak has a horizontal surface lift and a vertical drag lift. From the top station of the drag lift, a recreational run and a sports run lead downhill. If you are planning your first attempts, the practice slope is the specific point of reference; the two runs add further named options to the area. The beginner-oriented focus applies to the ski slopes as a whole; recreational run and sports run name the two individual runs.

The slope at Sanatorium Syniak is not particularly steep; it is grassy and hilly, with some curvy sections. These details answer different questions: the first describes the focus of the slopes, while the second describes the shape of the terrain. To picture the area, you can consider both aspects together.

There is a ticket office and ski equipment rental facilities at the bottom of the runs; ski instructors are also available. If you are planning to buy tickets, rent equipment, or take lessons, include these points in your preparations. Before your trip, check whether the facilities are currently operating and whether the services are available.

Route to Mount Obavskyi Kamin

Route No. 5 to Mount Obavskyi Kamin starts at the enclosure with deer and birds on the grounds of Sanatorium Syniak.
