Straja

The Jiu Valley’s big secret — 26 km of pistes at half the price of the Prahova resorts.

Season closed

The page contains only generic marketing content with no operating statement, and with 0 cm snow on October 11 (outside the Dec–early Apr season) the resort is not operating.

About

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.

Getting there

Sibiu (SBZ) is 2h by car; Timișoara (TSR) 3h. The last kilometres climb steeply — winter tyres essential, we brief every driver.

Ski tours & snowshoe walks

Guided winter outings we arrange with local mountain guides — gear included, book via the concierge.
