- Sinaia
One of our favorite ski resorts in Romania, Sinaia, sits at the heart of the magnificent Carpathian Mountains, 139 km from Bucharest. It is a rugged, remote area that provides some of the most picturesque views in the country.
Here, you will find a wide variety of trails for beginners, intermediates, and advanced skiers, including black diamond, runs for experienced skiers looking to take the challenge a notch higher. The snow sports area is located at an elevation of between 1005 and 2080 m, with 9 lifts to transport the guests.
Apart from being one of the most popular Romania skiing resorts, Sinaia is also home to the fascinating Peles and Pelisor Royal Castles, some of the most spectacular sites in Europe.
There are plenty of accommodation options in Sinaia, from cheap to moderately priced, to the very expensive for guests looking for something more luxurious.
- Poiana Brasov
A ski resort with the longest slope in Romania, Poiana Brasov is located just 2 ½ hours’ drive from Bucharest. Lying between the altitudes of 1020 and 1795 m, this ski area is one of the most popular resorts in Brasov County and the entire country.
Poiana offers skiers and snowboarders up to 20 km of slopes, with the stunning views of the Carpathian Mountains.
