All of them are located on the territory of the Rakhiv, Vinogradov and Khust districts of the Transcarpathian region, at an altitude of 180 to 2060 meters.
The largest massifs of the biosphere reserve are: Ugolsko-Shirokoluzhnyansky massif, covering the largest area of beech forests in Europe; Montenegrin massif, the hallmark of which is the highest peak of Ukraine - Mount Hoverla; Svidovetsky array; Marmaros massif; Kuzi massif, and, of course, the most famous massif - the Valley of daffodils, which is the pearl of Transcarpathia.
