The Mayor of Reșița, Ioan Popa, announced the launch of works for the development of the Semenic tourist area, an infrastructure project valued at approximately €43.9 million. The investment aims to transform the region into a European-scale ski center, integrating modern facilities to ensure tourist flow throughout the year.
The project includes the development of 15 km of ski slopes and the installation of a state-of-the-art gondola lift, equipped with 101 cabins, which will reduce the ascent time to 11 minutes. The infrastructure will include a modern snowmaking system, scheduled to be fully functional by the end of 2026, with the first tests planned for the next season. Tourist mobility will be ensured by electric buses, while the recreational offer will be complemented by a zipline, an adventure park, and a pumptrack. In the context of regional development, Timiș County has been invited to join the project. The President of the Timiș County Council, Alfred Simonis, announced the organization of a public consultation to decide on the county’s participation, emphasizing the need for administrative collaboration for projects with regional impact.
