Your questions about Borșa, answered
How high is Borșa?
The lifts run from 700m at the base to 1800m at the top, a vertical of 1100m. Of the 15 resorts we track in Romania, that is the 5th highest, with the 2nd 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 Borșa good for beginners or experts?
The pistes at Borșa split 20% beginner, 40% intermediate and 40% advanced, against an average of 37% beginner and 17% advanced across the resorts we track in Romania.
On those numbers it suits confident skiers and riders looking for steep terrain.
