Quite possibly the world's smallest ski resort, Arena Platos nevertheless does what it does very well indeed. There are five very short slopes, a chair lift, five drag lifts and while no piste is longer than a couple of hundred metres, for absolute beginners and improvers it is a very good choice. All slopes are covered by snow-making, all are floodlit and open until 10pm, there is a good ski school and ski and snowboard hire is cheap (40 lei adults, 30 lei children) and available right at the foot of the slopes.
