  Abstract:  VIEW PDF: PROMOTION SKI TOURING IN THE VLĂDEASA MOUNTAINS

This paper promotes ski touring and simultaneously analyze tourism potential elements for practicing this sport branches Vlădeasa. The topic subject research is interdisciplinary in nature, and the novelty is that we try to make the connection between geography, specifically side tourism potential of the area, skiing, practiced for recreation or sport, and ecology, sustainable development area. Observation method was present throughout the period of the study, materialized through spontaneous comments and observations intentional. Following field observations we obtained data about possibilities ski touring trails in the area studied. At this stage we were able to realize inventory and mapping of the field. Proposed routes are routes practicable, verified on the ground. Interview method, the process of scientific investigation, has been applied to person’s skilled practitioners of this branch of the area and sports. Statistical and mathematical method is a method of measurement data and mathematical analysis allowed comparison of results. Were processed data on air temperature and snow cover. By consulting the literature, direct observations, inventory and mapping operations made in the field, and analyzed and interpreted the data collected and or made maps and photographic documentation for ski touring routes proposed by us. Media were used to study specific geographical space and land characteristics (length, inclination, presence of vegetation). Given the characteristics of skiing and results through the study area, we propose two types of routes. The first category includes trails that take place on the mountain tourist markings and the second category free ride trails that require complex technical skills, superior physical training and appropriate equipment. We conclude that Vlădeasa is an ideal place for ski touring, with many possibilities and lines of routes, with differences of up to 900 meters and 30-40° inclination of the slope.
