Continental mountain climate,
with four distinct seasons
Harghita County is a mountainous region situated between 600 and 1800 metres above sea level. The climate is shaped by the protective ring of the Carpathians: pleasantly cool summers, the crisp air of harsh winters and a long, lingering autumn create a remarkable natural experience. Annual average temperatures hover around 6–8°C.
