Bucin: Ski slopes, trails and quad tours

There are various activities to enjoy during a stay in Bucin: skiing at the Havas-Bucsin ski slope, excursions along marked trails, the Via Mariae M01 route and guided quad tours. If you are looking for a hotel, the activities you have planned may influence when you choose to travel: the lift operates seasonally, and rentals and lessons may also vary.

Skiing at the Havas-Bucsin slope

The Havas-Bucsin ski slope is 1.5 km from the Bucsin summit. Its stated length is 1,200 + 1,150 m, and it is rated as intermediate. A modern drag lift operates there. As the lift operates seasonally, check whether it is running before you travel. The figures describe different measurements: 1.5 km is the distance from the slope to the Bucsin summit, while 1,200 + 1,150 m is the stated slope length. This distinction makes it clear which figure refers to location and which to slope length.

At Havas Bucsin, you can rent ski and snowboard equipment, and experienced ski instructors are available for beginners. Rentals and lessons may vary seasonally. The intermediate rating and the availability of ski instructors for beginners are different points to consider when planning; also check whether the lift, equipment and lessons are available during your travel dates.

Marked trails and guided tours

Around Bucin, Centrul de Schi și Agrement Bogdan offers excursions along marked trails to Stânca Bogdan and Platoul Bucin. The offer is connected with access to Pasul Bucin. These excursions therefore lead to two specifically named destinations and are different in nature from skiing on the slope.

Another option is the Via Mariae M01 route. It runs from Praid to Culmea Bucin, covering 30 km in 11 hours. This gives you specific information for planning, including the start and end points, distance and time required: set aside the full eleven hours for this route.

Bedő Katika Quad Trails offers guided quad tours through the forests of Bucin. These rides have a different focus from excursions along marked trails: the emphasis is on a guided quad tour through the forests of Bucin. Pensiunea Bucin & Sauna Village also organizes mountain tours in off-road vehicles.

Scenery and accommodation

Pensiunea Bucin & Sauna Village is set in the natural landscape of the Munții Gurghiu, in the shade of pine forests and surrounded by the scenery of the Bucin Plateau. Pensiunea Bucin & Sauna Village is at an altitude of 1,276 m, at the highest point of the road between Gheorgheni and Praid.

The guesthouse has seven rooms and can accommodate up to 14 people.
