Ski in Romania 2025 Conquer the Powder Under You

Hello skiers, in the next couple of minutes I’ll try to share with you the main points in Romania where you can learn to ski or snowboard, take your skills to the next level, or hit some black slopes to engage your audience on social. I’ll try to cover most of them, give a few tips, and also give recommendations based on where you find yourselves in Romania.

To give you an idea, I’ll group these places based on their location in the Carpathians (Southern, Western, or Eastern) and also share the number of kilometers of slopes along with a Google map to make it easier to plan a session at any of these places, or even better, combine them into weekly tours.

The Southern Carpathians 🔵

I’d say this region offers the most kilometers of slopes, along with top-notch facilities, excellent accommodation options, and some truly beautiful places to visit during your downtime, like Brașov, Sibiu, and Deva, just to name a few.

The downside is that it can get very crowded, especially during weekends and holidays, with long queues to the top and full parking. Also, keep an eye on your wallet, as prices can be on the higher side, so it’s best to budget your trip wisely. Ok so here is list:
