At the beginning of the 20th century, the first shelter for tourists and a restaurant appeared. Now there are many camping sites, boarding houses, and private cottages. On the territory of the ski complex "Avangard", built in Soviet times, there are ski jumps, one of which is summer. There are lifts and other ski infrastructure. One of the tourist routes to Hoverla starts from here.
The monument is the wooden Christmas church (1615), one of the best examples of the Hutsul school of folk architecture. In 1780, it was transferred to Vorokhta from Yablunytsia.
Ворохта - відомий низькогірний (850 метрів над рівнем моря) гірськолижний курорт над річкою Прут між Яремчею та Верховиною.
Ворохта заснована у XVII столітті як присілок Микуличина, розташованого нижче по річці.
Великий імпульс розвитку дало спорудження в 1894 році залізниці Станиславів - Яремча - Ворохта - Рахів, віадуки якої використовуються й досі. У центр зимового спорту Ворохта стала перетворюватися в австрійські часи, коли тут проходили курс їзди на нартах військовослужбовці 9-го корпусу.
На початку XX століття з'явився перший притулок для туристів і ресторан. Зараз тут безліч турбаз, пансіонатів, приватних котеджів. На території побудованого в радянські часи гірськолижного комплексу "Авангард" є лижні трампліни, один з яких літній. Є підйомники та ...
