Hit the Slopes – Mărișel Ski Experience

Local Activity

Whether you’re carving down the runs or enjoying a break at the cozy après-ski bars, Mărișel welcomes every winter sports lover. Ski or snowboard with ease - all the necessary equipment can be rented from friendly local businesses right by the slopes.

What to Expect

• Beautiful, varied slopes-mostly blue and red-with options for beginners and more advanced skiers alike.
• Spectacular views over Beliș Lake and snow-draped pine forests around every corner.
• Good facilities and ski rentals close to the slopes; bars and food stalls add to the winter magic.
• Large parking available-but note: weekends can get busy, so mornings during weekdays or early start times are best.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Arrive early to beat the crowds; weekdays offer more peace and shorter queues.
2. Rent your ski or snowboard gear near the slope; local shops are helpful and well-equipped.
3. Dress warmly in layers, bring gloves, goggles, sunscreen, and take breaks to enjoy views.
4. After skiing, return to our cabins to relax-soak in the sauna or jacuzzi, unwind and enjoy hot drinks by the fire.

"As you ski down the slope, you’ll see Beliș Lake shining below and the forested hills stretching into the distance."

Important Information

Weekdays are the best time to enjoy the slopes, with fewer crowds and more space to glide freely. For the smoothest experience, start your ski day early in the morning-when the snow is fresh, the air is crisp, and the mountain is peacefully quiet.

• Slopes are good and well maintained, but the lower sections can get icy after midday-time your runs well.
• Safety first: always wear appropriate gear, follow slope signs, and respect the pace of others around you.

Additional Details

Around the slope, you’ll find cozy improvised food and drink stalls serving local favorites-like the traditional plăcintă, a warm, homemade pancake that perfectly complements the mountain chill. And for an extra touch of magic, you can take a scenic horse-drawn sleigh ride through the snow-covered landscape, a truly unforgettable winter experience especially for the little ones.

• Even if you're not skiing, the atmosphere is enchanting-enjoy the views, sip hot wine, watch snow falling, or ride a horse-drawn sleigh.
• Kids are welcome-families often bring young ones, and there are gentle slopes perfect for learning.
• The resort becomes a social hub in the winter: food vendors, après-ski vibes, and warm places to gather make it more than just skiing-it’s a celebration of winter.
