Domeniul schiabil Kalinderu — Attraction in Bușteni

If you take everything into consideration and know what you’re letting yourself in for skiing here in Bușteni can be really nice but be careful of the negatives listed below.

The positives: The view of the mountain above the piste is stunning! It’s worth a visit just for this. It’s cheap and if you can get in early in the day you can complete some runs without much of a queue. There are some nice bars, places to grab food and there is a nice vibe if the DJs are playing music. The people who work here, including in the local rental shops are very friendly. There is a nice spot at the top of the lift for families wanting to sledge.

The negatives: The run is very short, if the lift queue is not long this wont be a problem. You won’t really be able to get in lots of km and see amazing sites all around the mountains but if you want to focus on technical skiing and practising drills this can be a great spot. If Sinaia, just up the road, closes because of high wind then it becomes so busy you end up wasting too much time in the queues, this is most noticeable on weekends. It’s hard for beginners. Whilst the slope has a nice shallow gradient at the top and a newly installed magic carpet lift there is not suitable terrain for them to progress onto. The middle section of the piste is red and too steep for beginners. For intermediate/advanced skiers there is not enough...

I refer to the sledge slide. The price for going up is 8 for an adult and 4 euros for a child. In others resorts you don't need to be taken up the hill, so don't come to Kalinderu. There is no bathroom, there is litter all over the place, the prices for drinks are very high (3 euros a soda, 3 euros a glass of wine, 5 euros the sledge), there is no food to buy except some old sandwiches at the bar and there is no method to go up the slide again except your own feet and we got so tired after a couple of hours that we barely had energy to go back home. There are many deep ditches that cause people to fall a lot and nobody cares to add some earth and snow to level up the field a little. Shortly, we got extremely tired, hungry and had to restrain from going to bathroom in exchange for 155 lei in 5 hours. Awful experience! I would never come again,...

Partia este foarte buna pentru ski, dar pentru cei avansati, aviz amatorilor care se gandesc ca invata, nu aveti cu cine,instructorii sunt piperati(in jur de 200 de lei o ORA) peste tot, dezinteresati, singurul lor interes este sa isi ia banii si sa plece mai departe,daca totusi doriti sa invatati recomandarea mea este sa veniti cu un prieten si sa va invete, nu aveti nimic de pierdut asa. Partia pentru sanius este foarte buna, dezavantaj ca trebuie sa urcati cu telescaunul(30 de lei biletul), care daca mai prindeti si o zi fara curent electric,a trecut ziua. Cel mai mare dezavantaj este ca sus la sanius nu exista TOALETĂ, singura toaletă este la restaurant,care "normal" trebuie sa faceti o consumatie, deoarece este destinata "exclusiv clientilor", iar accesul se face prin interiorul restaurantului,altfel riscati sa utilizati pădurea, asta daca intreceti limita bunului simt ceea ce nu v-as recomanda,mai ales daca nimeriti o perioada mai dificila si chiar aveti nevoie de o toaleta(pentru doamne)💁‍♀️.In partea de jos exista toaleta, dar coborarea si urcarea aduce alte costuri din nou normal. Mancarea sus nu exista in adevaratul sens al cuvantului,doar o feliuta de paine cu cascaval 15 lei sau un hotdog la acelasi pret, cafea etc in jur de 10 lei,sucurile de la 10 lei in sus. Pentru partie n-am nimic de reprosat, este impecabila si super bine intretinuta mai ales pentru ski, dar restul lasa de dorit, nu inteleg cum o partie asa de bine pregatita nu are o toaleta sus si cum pot accepta aceasta "mânărie" oamenii sa cumpere de fiecare data produse pentru a intra la toaleta. Recomandarea mea, daca puteti sa veniti cu o sticla cu apa de acasa, nu riscati sa va rupeti buzunarele pentru 5 ape de sus, mai ales daca aveti copilasi, veniti inarmati cu tot ce trebuie. Sper sa vă fie de ajutor recenzia si sa stiti...
