Heated swimming pool in the Carpathians in winter

09 January 2024

Winter vacation in the Carpathians associated with skiing, but not with water sports. Many people have no idea that mountain hotels have heated pools. Not so long ago, it was difficult to imagine that the Ukrainian Carpathians would kill two birds with one stone - combine traditional winter entertainment with an aqua zone. Perhaps soon there will be no need for trips to the sea, because you will not have to choose a place for rest. By staying in a hotel with a winter pool, you will have the most exciting vacation with a variety of entertainment.

Advantages and features of a winter pool

Winter swimming in open water does not scare away only those who are engaged in diving in the pit. Everyone else is unlikely to like the idea of going into the water when it's -10°C outside. Indoor or outdoor heated pools are the only way to swim in winter without feeling uncomfortable. They are more usual for seaside resorts, so a vacation in the mountains in a hotel with a swimming pool still surprises many.

In order for you to have a rest no worse than in the summer, in the "Lake Vita" tourist complex, the temperature of the water in the pool is constantly monitored. It does not fall below +33°C. You can swim to your heart's content, enjoying amazing and unique landscapes. Nowhere else in the world are there such picturesque places with beech and coniferous forests as in the Carpathians.

On the territory of the complex there is a 50-meter heated swimming pool and an indoor one with a jacuzzi, a counter current and an on-board waterfall. If one is in the open air, the other has a beautiful panoramic view.

Advantages of winter pools in the "Lake Vita" complex:

  • automatic water temperature control;
  • constant monitoring of water quality;
  • safe descents into the pool;
  • well-kept surrounding area.

The heated swimming pool in the Carpathians works all day in winter. If precipitation is expected, you can always switch from the outdoor water zone to the indoor pool. Here you can not only dive and swim to your heart's content, but also relax in the jacuzzi or work out your muscles by swimming against the current.

Winter pool in the Carpathians

The most difficult thing that awaits you when visiting a winter pool is cognitive dissonance, which you will still have to overcome. If you still associate water sports with trips to the sea, you will not be able to resist the word "Wow".

You will have an incredible experience if it snows during your vacation in the heated pool in the Carpathians.

As soon as the first "aesthetic shock" passes, the local scenery will not stop surprising you. The indoor pool, surrounded by panoramic windows, has a stunning view of the picturesque Carpathians. If you decide to visit a modern outdoor aqua zone, you will feel the breath of nature. You can stay in the warm pool all day, breathing in the frosty mountain air. Around the aqua zone there is everything you need:

  • deck chairs;
  • bar with drinks;
  • various goodies and wood-fired pizza.

Rest assured, a winter vacation in the Carpathians with a heated pool is something you will remember for the rest of your life. If before that Ukrainian mountains were compared with trips to resorts in the Alps and Pyrenees, now the Carpathians compete with Turkish All Inclusive in terms of service level.

Additional Services

In the first days after arrival, guests do not get out of the house heated pool. But bathing will still get boring if you are not already 10 years old. Children are the only guests who can splash around in the water around the clock and not get bored. Adults will definitely have a thirst for adventure and new experiences, and there are a lot of them here. Even without leaving the tourist complex, you can use the following services:

  • Carpathian tanks;

Many people dedicate their winter vacation to health and recovery. Clean mountain air and SPA procedures help strengthen immunity. In the Carpathians, you can walk every day in the forest or on the territory of the complex located on the shore of a mountain lake.

How to choose a hotel in the Carpathians with a heated pool

Warm water is the main, but not the only, criterion in choosing a winter pool. Pay attention to how the area adjacent to it is arranged, and what water activities are available. If there is a jacuzzi and an artificial waterfall in the pool, then along with swimming you will get a hydromassage. If a counter current is installed, you can swim in a winter pool, just like in the sea.

Note that heated pools are not available everywhere in the Carpathians. Summer artificial reservoirs are more common. And it is not so easy to find a place where you will be offered accommodation and food, health treatments, entertainment for children and adults. Lake Vita tourist complex is one of the few that can organize a comfortable family and corporate vacation in the Carpathians.
