People used to think that if you lived in Cluj-Napoca, you could not go skiing; unless, of course, you travelled for at least 2 or 3 hours to some resort. But this is not the case! Now you can have your cake and eat it too. Namely, you can live in a bustling and exciting city on the rise, such as Cluj-Napoca, and go skiing nearby. The ski resort is called Feleacul and you can go skiing every day of the week.
The ski slope is located only 12 km from the city center and has a length of 765 m. It is a modern slope, fitted with 6 snow cannons and an efficient lighting system that allows people to ride even in the evening. It also has a ski lift with a capacity of 412 people per hour, a surveillance system and wireless internet. In addition, there is always music playing, for the entertainment of the guests. And finally, this year has seen the opening of the only snow park in the area, which contains elements for tricks and three jumps that are the delight of snowboarders.
You can even take a few days there if you wish, so that you can stay close to the ski slope. For those who want to make a vacation out of it, you can camp at the wonderful Teleschi Feleacul Bed & Breakfast. It is located in a beautiful area and offers wonderful conditions for a relaxing stay in the heart of Transylvania. In addition, from this point, you will get a spectacular panorama of Cluj-Napoca as you seldom get to see.
It is only 20 minutes away from the center of the city, but you will have peace, quiet and fresh air here: all that you need to disconnect from the stressful city life.
You will also be able to avail yourself of the locale’s restaurant, which combines a rustic ambiance with a modern, and stylish décor and enjoy the simple yet wholesome dishes that are on offer. You can get barbecues, schnitzels, grilled minced meat rolls, which you can combine with French fries, mashed potatoes, boiled potatoes or vegetable mix, then you can have vegetable soup, beef soup, pizza, and for dessert, pancakes or plum dumplings.
And if you have a celebration coming your way, you can also spend it at Feleacul, because the staff organizes weddings, christenings, themed parties, banquets, anniversaries and private parties. So don’t miss out on this wonderful resort if you live in Cluj or are just passing through the city.
