Vlăhița: Lobogó alpine coaster, trails and culture

At the Lobogó ski slope, visitors can rent ski equipment and sledges. The Lobogó alpine coaster in Băile Homorod, a district of Vlăhiţa, is almost 1,000 metres long; speeds of up to 45 km/h can be reached on it. The different types of activity help you compare winter options by equipment and speed.

The alpine coaster and the ski slope represent different forms of winter sport: on the slope, the focus is on the equipment available, while on the track, it is on the length of the route and possible speed. This allows the information to be read separately without equating the two offerings.
