New Dry Ski Slope To Be Romania’s Longest

A new artificial ski slope development in Romania's Gorj County is due to open at the end of October.
Building the Aprilia Park complex's ski hill has involved the moving of tens of thousands of cubic metres of excavated soil in a year-long construction project, the developers say.
Aprilia Park say the slope, which uses Neveplast material, which will be 311 metres long with a total area of 7,000 square metres. It will have three tubing runs using Neveplast's Tubby tubing service running alongside the slope.
The Aprilia Park complex has been operating since 2011 and up to now has been mainly a waterpark featuring 4,000 square metres of beach, with a capacity of 1,500 people, three large hot water pools, a 25-seat jacuzzi, water slides, waterfalls, fountains and numerous other aquatic attractions. It also offers sports such as basketball, beach volleyball and table tennis.
The centre has three restaurants and offers accommodation in cottages with 2 and 4 beds, a camping area and a caravan park.
Romania is believed to have almost 100 conventional ski areas but most are small facilities with one or two drag lifts. It's largest resorts include Poiana Brasov and Sinaia which each have 15-20km of slopes.
Aprilia Ski will open on 28th October, 2023.
