The semenic is actually a rare flower growing in the wilderness of the mountains. Therefore, this western Romanian ski resort was named after it, as a similarity to the rareness of the beauty that one can discover within this unique location.

Geography

The resort is located on the mountain with the same name, which is a part of the Banat Mountains in Caraş-Severin County. It is situated on top of Mount Semenic at an altitude of 1,400m at about 36 km away from the county capital Reşiţa. It is a fact that on Mount Semenic, in comparison with the other ski resorts of Romania, the snow gets the thickest throughout the year, frequently reaching a layer thickness above 2 m, that stretches the ski season up to the end of April, and sometimes even May.

Skiing

There are 3 main slopes you can go on: Idioţilor (”Idiots’”) slope, which is the cheapest, but the easiest and shortest (about 200m), Goznuta, which is very expensive, has about 500m, not very hard, and the new built slope, on the western side of the mountain, just under Piatra Goznei peak. This slope is further away from the resort (about 600m, which in winter is quite a distance, considering the thick layer of snow and strong winds), it has 1800m, the ski lift is brand-new, it costs 3 RON (about one USD). Be careful in the winter, as the road is not always cleaned properly, so get everything you need!
