Twelve interlinked slopes above the old mining town of Lupeni, rarely crowded even in holidays, with cabins scattered between the runs. The skiing-per-leu ratio is the best in Romania — and Corvin Castle is on the way home.
Sibiu (SBZ) is 2h by car; Timișoara (TSR) 3h. The last kilometres climb steeply — winter tyres essential, we brief every driver.
Guided winter outings we arrange with local mountain guides — gear included, book via the concierge.
