Romania's oldest mountain resort, set in spruce forest at 1442m — a quiet base for hiking in summer and skiing in winter.
Not a day trip from Brașov
Păltiniș Mountain Resort is roughly 4h 10m from Brașov one way — about 8h 30m in the car before you have seen anything. That makes a long journey rather than a good day, so we keep it out of the planner instead of selling you the drive.
Within a comfortable day we would point you at Sighișoara Historic Citadel, Bran Castle or Peles Castle.
