Sinaia is a Romanian mountain resort, located in Prahova County in Bucegi Mountains, 140 kilometres north of the capital Bucharest. At the World Ski Awards this year Sinaia was named Romania's Best Ski Resort for 2019. The event was held in Kitzbuhel, Austria.
It is the third consecutive year when Sinaia wins the award. Sinaia is known as the Pearl of the Carpathians. It is both a touristic and a balneo-thermal resort. Having the Peles Castle near by adds to the natural beauty of the area.
The winter season in Sinaia starts in December and continues until April. The ski slopes cover 22 km in several valleys: Dorului Valley, Fir-tree Valley, Carp Valley and Sun Valley.
Historically, the Bucegi Mountains and Prahova Valley form the first touristic region in Romania. This attractiveness is due to the spectacular sights and easy access by roads and railways. Sinaia became a touristic attraction in 1875, when the Peleș Palace, Pelisor Palace and also the construction of the Ploiesti – Brasov railway started. Later, in 1922, mountain chalets were built in the Bucegi mountains.
The other nominees from Romania for the Best Ski Resort 2019 title were Arena Platos Paltinis, Azuga, Poiana Brașov, Predeal, Ranca, Straja, Vatra Dornei, and Vidra Transalpina.
