- Winter sports. Sinaia is an increasingly popular winter sports destination. As winter turns the hills around town white, Romanians and visitors alike flock to the slopes for down-hill ski and snowboard fun. The season roughly runs from December-April. Ski-passes are sold on site, but can be booked in advance. Keep in mind that lifts don't operate every day, so check in advance. Also, not all ski-passes give access to all lifts, so check the map to see which slopes you're interested in.
- Hiking. As is the case with most hill-stations that aren't snow-covered all year, Sinaia makes a fine hiking destination in summer, combining all resort facilities with excellent hiking routes and vistas. If you want an easy hike up the mountain, visit the tourist information center for a map, and follow the white-red-white markers. In summer 2023, there was a logging operation ongoing in the first leg, up to cota 1400. You can easily hike up and take the gondolas down.
