Situated in Brasov county, between Prahova and Timis rivers, is Predeal, the highest town in Romania (1033 m). Surrounded by mountains, it is an excellent base, in winter, for skiing. You will not find here the slopes from Austria or Switzerland, but, if you enjoy the “white sport” it is a good opportunity to practice it very easy.

Not so far from Bucharest (around 150 km), Predeal is very easy accessible by train (or car). So, next time in Bucharest, in a winter business trip, take one more day. Gara de Nord rail station is almost in the middle of the town. 2 hours and 15 minute are enough, in a comfort of Snow Train (especially in service for winter period), to reach Predeal. We’ll have one day full of fun.
