All hiking trails in the Bieszczady National Park are accesible, but locally icy and slippery. The thickness of the uneven snow cover oscillates between 10 cm in the lower parts and 60 cm on the leeward sides of the ridge. Hiking requires the appropriate equipment (we recommend using crampons or anti-slip grips). Please note that mountain shelters operate to a limited extent in accordance to the government regulations on preventing the spread of COVID-10 (for details please contact the shelter staff directly). Adapt planned route to current weather conditions and your mountain experience. Plan the trip so that you can come back safely before dusk - wandering in snow significantly extends the trip duration. 

Please remember that for safety reasons in the Park we hike only on marked trails. Skiing is allowed on marked sections of hiking trails and on cross-country skiing routes around Wetlina and Wołosate villages. We remind you that, according to the Park regulations, downhill skiing, sledding etc. is strictly forbidden. For the safety of other tourists, please do not slide on snow souncers etc. on hiking trails. This causes icing of the trail and exposes hikers to slipping and falling.

In winter, admission to the Park is free. We try to keep parking lots in Wołosate, Brzegi Górne, Wyżniańska Pass and Ustrzyki Górne cleared of snow. Parking fees are charged according to the winter season price list. We also provide free toilets at the parking lot in Wołosate and three dry toilets located on the trails: Wyżna Pass - trail towards Połonina Wetlińska, Bukowska Pass and in Wetlina - trail towards Orłowicza Pass.

Current weather conditions can be checked on the Mountain Rescue Service and via our webcam.
