Your questions about Băile Tușnad, answered
How high is Băile Tușnad?
The lifts run from 650m at the base to 1000m at the top, a vertical of 350m. Of the 15 resorts we track in Romania, that is the 15th highest, with the 12th biggest vertical.
The base is below 1,000m, so the lowest runs are the first to suffer in a mild spell; the upper mountain is the safer bet early and late in the season.
Is Băile Tușnad good for beginners or experts?
The pistes at Băile Tușnad split 70% beginner, 30% intermediate and 0% advanced, against an average of 37% beginner and 17% advanced across the resorts we track in Romania.
On those numbers it suits beginners.
