Skiing and Snowboarding Muntele Mic

Skiing and Snowboarding    The Muntele Mic Ski Resort is just 30 min to drive the whole way to the top to the resort. It is an excellent slope to learn if you are a beginner, but also has steeper runs for the more experienced. Rental equipment is available at multiple locations up there. There are several different restaurants as well. (Open only during the ski season) The ski lift passes are an electronic card, which you can buy, and use up as you want. If you still have points left on the card when you come home, you can go up at a later time and still use up those points. Check out the Resort website and slope conditions. Or see the fun others have had on Muntele Mic on their Facebook page.
