Description
Grubby little Borşa has an ace up its sleeve: the Borşa Complex some 10km east, a ski resort set amid insanely pretty countryside with dark green forests, sun-dappled streams and midsize mountains. As well as having some decent intermediate and beginner slopes (1km-long Știol, 2km-long Poiana), it's the main entry point for hikers keen to experience the Rodna Mountains, part of which forms the Pietrosul Rodnei Nature Reservation (5900 hectares).
