Sinaia Resort was awarded at the World Ski Awards in Austria, the first year in which Romania is included in the list of nominations. In competition, along with Sinaia, which was named the best ski resort in the country, entered nine other localities in the country.
The Mayor of Sinaia says that this trophy is the result of investments made in this area, investments in the last years amount to approximately 32 million euros, informs Mediafax.
"It is obviously an extremely important distinction for our city. It is very important that Romania has entered the list of nominees for the first time this year. It is an international recognition, a certification of all initiatives at national level. For Sinaia it is a crowning effort for 10 years. In 2007 Sinaia City Hall and the Local Council started a series of major investments in the Schiable Domain. There have been three cable-based installations, two gondolas and a chair lift, two artificial snow installations, snow-blasting machines, new slopes, and the old ones. We built on the ski area one of the most beautiful tourist cottages in Romania: Stâna Târle. Investments we estimate at a total of 32 million euros, a very large amount for the city so small. Such a trophy gives you some confidence, confirms a potential, "said the mayor of Sinaia, Vlad Oprea.
According to Sinaia City Hall, preparations for the winter season have already begun. Artificial snow installations started at Cota 2000 in the Valley of the Sun, with the skiing season, most likely in the first half of December, depending on the weather and the rainfall.
