Rânca Ski Resort is located in Gorj County, 62 km from the Tg. Jiu and 97 km of Râmnicu Vâlcea and 17.9 km of the city Novaci DN 67C, Romania on the Transalpina Road. Transalpina road is known also as the King’s Road. Transalpina is the highest road from Romania, situated above 2000 m, which can be crossed by car. Rânca ski resort is located on the southern slope of the Parâng Mountains, with a tourist potential that is growing. For those who prefer a lesser crowded ski resort, we recommend Rânca as a destination. With 8 months of snow, Rânca manages to satisfy all the needs of winter adventurers, and is doing this by offering 2 medium level ski slopes, 2 light and 2 for beginners. With views that compete to the ones from the Austrian Alps, with exceptional food that will keep you going all the long on the slope, Rânca is a must on your winter destination map.
Keep in mind that the road is not open all year round. Depending on weather conditions, the highway is usually closed in November or December due to the heavy amount of snowfall and the treacherous driving situations that could develop. A person wanting to experience the Transalpina in all its splendor should plan for an mid-to-late fall trip.
