Description
You don’t have to travel very far or spend a lot of money to experience an unforgettable skitouring adventure. On our trip you will have many occasions to walk in wilderness and to mark skiing lines on virgin slopes. A trip to Romania will let you enjoy skiing in the untouched nature and beautiful landscape. The routes are varied, and can be modified depending on snow and weather conditions or the group’s fitness and technical level. Both less experienced ski tourists and experienced skimountaineers searching for more difficult slopes will find interesting challenges for themselves on a ski expedition to Romania.
We will visit two regions, in two neighboring mountain ranges: the Maramures Mountains and the Rodnian Mountains. In each of the ranges we will have a base, guesthouse, located close to snowy slopes, and at the same time providing warmth and comfort for preparations and regeneration, both of yourself and your equipment. From there we will be going on one-day trips. If someone gets tired, staying in the guesthouse is possible to take some rest before next skiing days. While returning from the trip we will visit one of the most unusual tourist attractions of Romania – the Happy Cemetery. And if we hwve enough time, we can relax in the thermal springs in Slovakia on the way back to Poland.
