The paper covers the issue of the impact of sports and recreational facilities on natural landscapes. Tourism and skiing are the main contributors to the economy of mountainous areas and at the same time the reason for landscape change. Large sports and recreational complexes are barriers to the spread of native flora and animal migration, and their infrastructure (ski slopes, surface parking lots, etc.) changes the top layer of the relief. The ten most visited ski resorts in Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, and Zakarpattia regions were selected for analysis. Based on the typology of dividing the landscape into three groups according to the criteria of correlation between the range of anthropogenic pressure and indicators of changes in natural elements, it can be claimed that of the ski resorts under analysis, only the facilities with an area of 7-50 hectares - Krutohir 365, Bukovytsia, and Plai - are facilities that do not cause irreversible transformations of natural landscapes. Ski resorts with an area of 70 - 130 hectares - Dynamo-Trostyan, Zakhar Berkut, Syanky, Tysovets, Pylypets, Krasiya - cover the territory beyond the 500-meter radius of the zone of high anthropogenic pressure, but do not exceed the environmental impact within a radius of 3,000 meters, which is interpreted as moderate pressure with possible fragmentation of small natural areas. Complexes with an area of 1000 hectares or more are classified as impacting the environment at a distance of more than 3000 meters, which implies significant negative consequences. These include the Bukovel complex, whose development, together with lift stations and ski slopes, was calculated based on open Google Earth data using visual signs of changes in vegetation cover and covers 9,894,100 square meters. Together with the 3000-meter zone of anthropogenic impact, a large "spot" is formed, whose environmental impact is the destruction of sustainable natural connections. Also, large recreation complexes affect the change of established communications between villages, meadows, and hayfields, which are important in the traditional economy of the local population.

У роботі охоплено питання проблематики впливу спортивно- відпочинкових комплексів на природні ландшафти. Туризм та гірськолижний спорт є основним внеском в економіку гірських районів, і одночасно, осередком впливу, що спричиняє зміни ландшафту. В питанні збереження Карпатської природної системи та традиційного усталеного способу використання земель, спортивно-відпочинкові кластери зі значною площею охоплення територій є бар’єром у природному обігу. У роботі класифіковано діючі спортивно- туристичні об’єкти, базуючись на величині їх прямого (площа ділянки) та опосередкованого (радіус дії на довкілля) антропогенного впливу.
