Abstract 

The tourist trails of the Chornohora massif of Ukrainian Carpathians are analyzed as well as different stages and degrees of trails digression are revealed. Erosion processes evolve on the V stage of recreational digression. It is established that tourist routes differ in the general condition and degrees of recreational digression and the length of the sections with the manifestation of erosion processes. Erosion processes are the most appreciable on the tourist trail “to Hoverla montain” due to excessive recreational load. Finally, the authors propose organizational, managerial, and engineering activities for improving the condition of the trail.
