New Years Eve on the skis

29/12/2011

Arieseni, Cavnic, Harghita Madaras and Sureanu have the best ski runs in Romania, at this moment. In all the other resorts the best offer is fair ski conditions, but many are still closed.

There are three resorts that offer good ski conditions on their slopes, Arieseni (Vartop 1 & 2, Piatra Graitoare: 15-30 cm of snow), Harghita Madaras (25-55 cm of snow) and Sureanu (20-40 cm of snow). Fair conditions can be found in Arena Platos (nearby Paltinis, 10-30 cm of snow), Baile Homorod (10-20 cm of snow), Harghita Bai (Csipike) and Toplita (Magherus: 10-25 cm of snow).
