Summer
Hiking on Rarău and Giumalău, cycling along the Dorna valleys, mineral springs, the Sunday market. Air at 800 metres does half the work.
The area
Vatra Dornei, on foot
Iris Villa sits right in the centre of the resort. The park with its mineral springs, the casino, the station and the ski slopes are all minutes away — on foot, or on the bicycles you have free of charge.
Winter
The Veverița, Parc and Dealu Negru slopes 2 km away, with chairlift and floodlit skiing. Ski school a kilometre off. In the evening you come back to warmth and a glass from the wine room.
Via Transilvanica
The trail runs past the door
Via Transilvanica, the 1,400-kilometre trail that crosses Romania from Putna to Drobeta-Turnu Severin, runs right past the villa. Vatra Dornei closes the stage coming down from the Mestecăniș Pass and opens the one towards Poiana Negrii. If you are walking or cycling it, Iris Villa is a natural stop: sleep well and set off the next morning straight from the door.
