Winter sports fans can now buy cable transport tickets and ski-passes online for the ski slopes located in Sinaia and Predeal mountain resorts in Romania’s Prahova Valley.

Online payments processor NETOPIA mobilPay implemented this service, together with Oveit. Those who want to purchase online tickets for the services offered by Teleferic Prahova, the company in charge of the cable transport, can find this option on the Teleferic.ro website.
