Ski map Sinaia, informations about the slopes, vertical drops and lengths, all validated by GPS, offpiste information, cable car Sinaia, Cota 2000

Sinaia's ski slopes are situated at 2000m altitude. Here you can experience the best high altitude ski in Romania. The ski season starts in December and lasts sometimes until May.

The access to the slopes is possible from the city center, by taking the first cable car to Cota 1400 and then a second cable car to Cota 2000. You can also go to Cota 2000 using the 4-seats express chairlif. To Cota 1400 one can also go by car. The ski slopes are divided on the two sides of the mountain. To the east side, towards the city, the skier can experience the most spectacular slopes, the black ones. The slopes follow the cable car line and there is a great variety of off-piste possibilities. All the slopes end in the same point, which is the cable car station at Cota 1400. The demanding terrain is working you out, so there is no time for getting bored.

The new 4-seats express chirlift gives you the possibility to explore the eastern side of the mountains, where it is plenty of powder and rough terrain. All the black slopes are located on the eastern side. The new chailift offers a fast alternative of going up and also gives you the possibility to rest during two descents.

On the west side of the mountain there is the great Sun Valley. Here there is situated the Dorului Hut, at the end of the chairlift line. The Sun Valley has a milder aspect and here you can experience some intermediate and beginner slopes. It is a great place for snowborders too. When you are eager for a break, Dorului Hut is a great place to spend some time. The high altitude and the white surroundings makes the place perfect for a sun bath during winter. If you plan to enjoy the sun, don't forget the sun blocking cream!! The atmosphere is also warm, you can serve snacks, lunch or just have few drinks. Of course, here you can find vin fiert (warm wine).

Dorului Hut is a good starting point for cross country and ski touring. The experienced skiers can explore the Dorului Peak and its surroundings. Touring routes can be made towards Vanturis area (in the south), Bolboci area (in the west) and Blana-Laptici areas (in the north). Visit the Ski Touring section for seeing various routes in the mountains.

Skiers' ten commandments
(behaviour rules for skiers on the slopes)
1. Skiing should be performed in such a way that does not put in jeopardy or danger the life of another skier, or to cause any prejudices to the others.
2. The skier should adapt his speed and his proper manner of skiing in accordance with his technical knowledge, physical state, snow layer conditions, slope's degree of difficulty, weather conditions, and traffic conditions on the slope.
3. The skier should choose carefully his trajectory of descent, having in mind all the time the protection of the skiers located in the lower part of the slope.
4. The skier should overpass the other skier located in the lower part of the slope either on the right side, or on the left side, the only one condition being that this overpass should be large enough in order to avoid any sudden and unexpected evolution of the one to be over passed.
5. The skier should ensure himself, through an attentive exam of the slope traffic, from both upper and lower areas, that him as well as the other skiers are not in any kind of danger when crossing the slope or starting again the descent after a temporary stop on the slope.
6. The skier should avoid standing on the slope, especially in the narrower parts of it, or in those that lack in visibility. In case of a fall, the skier should clear the slope as quickly as possible.
7. The skier should use only the boundaries of the slope, when he or she is forced to go up or to come down on foot.
8. The skier should take in account the signaling systems and the marking buoys installed on the ski slopes and trails.
9. The skier should inform the mountain rescue team in case of an accident that occurred to another skier and to give support in transporting the injured skier.
10. The skier should present his identity to the qualified persons, when he has been eye witness to an accident, or when he provoked one.
