Свидовець - країна гірських озер та альпійських лук. На вершинах, що вкриті соковитою травою, гуцули з допомогою карпатських вівчарок вже століття випасають овець та корів. Можливо, вам вдасться навіть подоїти корову і скуштувати парного екологічно чистого молока, ну а водні процедури на високогір'ї гарантовано.
Помірні навантаження, чисте гірське повітря, сонце, купання в гірських озерах і засамага - все майже як на морі, але на 1800 м вище.
Svydovets is the land of mountain lakes and alpine meadows. Hutsuls with Carpathian sheep dogs have pastured sheep and cows for centuries on the mountains covered with lush grass. Maybe, you can even milk a cow and taste new clean milk. There certainly won’t be a deficit of water for swimming on the Carpathian highlands.

Марафон поєднав у собі два найцікавіші райони Карпат: Горгани з їхніми кам'яними розсипами та прадавніми лісами та Чорногору з її суворими вершинами, просторими полонинами та гірськими озерами. А ще, цих 10 днів у горах дадуть вам можливість перевірити твердість характеру, силу волі і міцність черевиків. Окрім пригод, буде час і на спілкування, ви зможете посміятися з анекдотів та поділитись своїми історіями біля вогнистої ватри. Саме в таких мандрах зустрічаються справжні друзі.

Кукуль та Кострича - хребти, з яких відкриваються неймовірні краєвиди на найвищі вершини Карпат. Звідси можна милуватись пологими рельєфами Свидовця і кам'яними розсипами Горган, суворою Чорногорою з її скелястими велетами та стрункими обрисами буковинських гір. На полонинах збереглось тваринництво, тому варто сподіватися на молочний частунок. На Кукулі зустрінуться стовпчики старого польсько-чехословацького кордону, а подекуди можна натрапити на гільзи чи інше залізяччя часів Першої світової війни.
Помірні висоти цих хребтів дають можливість розпочати походи вже з травня, коли на вищих хребтах ще глибокий сніг, а наявність колиб дозволяє комфортно проводити вечори навіть у суворе міжсезоння.
Kukul and Kostrycha Ranges open incredible views on the highest peaks of the Carpathians. Standing there you can admire the sloping terrain of Svydovets and stone placers of Gorgany, severe Chornohora with its rocky giants and slim shapes of Bukovyna mountains. Hutsuls are still engaged in stockbreeding, so you can expect some milk treat. Hiking along Kukul Range you will be constantly accompanied by metes of Polish-Czechoslovak border, sometimes you can see cartridge cases or other remains of World War I.
Moderate heights of these ranges allow start hiking as early as in May, when on the higher ranges deep snow still remains, and the presence of mountain huts provides comfortable evenings even in severe off-season time.

It is highly important to prepare carefully all necessary winter gear and clothing. Participants of ski touring should get ready for grueling trekking, frequent falls in the snow drifts, nights in sleeping bags at a temperature of minus 10 - minus 20 degrees and other difficulties of the winter touring.
Ski trips involve punching of the passing in snow, a heavy backpack, frost, wind, short days, camp breaking, looking for firewood, long and boring evenings. Have no fear! If you go for a tour with real friends, nothing should bother you. What actually waiting for you is amazing sceneries, sunny mornings, and moon nights. Definitely there you meet someone who will change you on a "difficult" path, unload your backpack if his is easier, share unnecessary clothing if you are cold, close to the wind, help in camp breaking, gathering the wood, cooking delicious dinner and even then – spend an interesting evening with song and friendly conversation. You can’t avoid a real adventure!
Advantages:
• a real endurance test
• challenge for your body
• isolation from civilization
