Prahova Valley

Prahova Valley

Prahova Valley (Romanian: "Valea Prahovei") is the valley where the Prahova river makes its way between the Bucegi and the Baiului Mountains, in the Carpathian Mountains, Romania. It is a tourist region, situated about 100 km north of the capital city of Bucharest.

Geographically, the Prahova river separates the Eastern Carpathians chain from the Southern Carpathians. Historically, the corridor was the most important passage way between the principalities of Wallachia and Transylvania. The present DN1 road, linking Bucharest with the city of Braşov and the future A3 will be built along the Prahova Valley.

Prahova Valley will be the bid of Romania for the 2022 Winter Olympic Games. The region is a popular destination for mountaineers and for winter sports fans. The most important resorts are:

* Predeal
* Azuga
* Buşteni
* Sinaia
