Après & vibe
The mountain is quiet, with dining and lodging concentrated in the villages of Voineasa and the wider Lotru valley below.
The resort
Tucked into the Lotru Mountains of Vâlcea county above the resort village of Voineasa, Ski Vidra is one of Romania's more remote and high-lying ski areas, reached along a scenic mountain road toward the Vidra reservoir and the Transalpina heights. Its lofty setting gives it a longer, more dependable season than many Romanian centres, and a generous top-to-bottom drop that skis bigger than the modest lift count suggests. Development is still growing, so slopes stay quiet and the mood is peaceful and scenic rather than lively. It appeals to skiers who value good snow, real gradient and Carpathian solitude over amenities and après.
