Climatic Conditions and Tourism Development in Southern Carpathians. Case Study - Cindrel Mountains. Climatic conditions are very important in developing new or old tourism resorts in mountain regions. This study aims to identify whether, in the general context of global warming, Northern slopes of Southern Carpathians (Cindrel Mountains) are suitable for winter tourism, especially for winter sports from climatic poit of view. 47 years-long data series (1961-2007) were analyzed from Păltiniş Weather Station for air temperature, snow cover and wind speed. Main conclusions are: there are not statistically significant trends in air temperature, important increasing statisitcally significant trends in snow cover depth and statistically significant decreasing trends in wind speed. The last two conclusions are due also to the presence in the last 10-15 years of the fir forest around the measurement platform. The fact is a good indicator for location of the ski slopes.
