Winter escape

Winter in Bucovina: snow on the hill, ski slopes fifteen minutes away, a warm house at night

Snow here comes early and stays late. In the morning you see it first on the hill, then on the garden grass, then on the roof of the little house in the children's room. The Rarău slope, with a chairlift and 2.8 km of run, is 17 minutes away; the sledges 13. In the evening the house is warm, the meals are long and outside it snows like in a fairy tale.

Three days, red-cheeked

  1. Come in on the DN17 and stop at the pass, at the Mestecăniș slope: a small slope with no crowds, sledging and tubing and snowy Giumalău straight ahead, perfect for shaking off the drive. Lunch or dinner right there, at Restaurant Mestecăniș at 1,096 m: tochitură and grilled meats with a mountain view. Then 24 minutes home, hot tea, bags, the first evening with snow at the window.

    • sledging and tubing at the pass
    • tochitură at 1,096 m
    • snowy Giumalău
    • hot tea on arrival
  2. Skiing at Rarău Resort from opening: 2.8 km of slope with a chairlift, good snow, north-facing; weekends have queues after ten, so be there first. A hot lunch at the base of the slope. Dinner at Hanul Bucovinei: an open kitchen, warm wood, low lights and a beef tenderloin after a day on the snow.

    • chairlift and 2.8 km of slope
    • good snow, north-facing
    • gear rental at the base
    • beef tenderloin at night
  3. Sledging day: the Bucovina slope, 13 minutes away, with sledges, tubing and a baby ski lift for the little ones. Lunch at Popasul Baciului nearby: soup in a bread loaf and warm pies. Towards evening, the Istrate viewpoint, sledge on the hill or just for the dream picture: Câmpulung under snow, slowly lighting up below you.

    • sledges, tubing, baby ski lift
    • soup in a bread loaf at the inn
    • sledging at the viewpoint
    • the town under snow at dusk

It's a suggestion, not a schedule. Change anything; we know the places, you know your mood.

Why winter in Bucovina is best spent in Câmpulung Moldovenesc

Because you have a chairlift slope 17 minutes away, children's sledging at 13, a third quiet slope at Mestecăniș and the monasteries under snow in under an hour, and at night you come back not to a room but to a whole warm house, with a kitchen for hot chocolate and a garden where it snows. The road to the house is paved and cleared; at La Cuib, winter is a reason to come, not to stay home.
