“The 2025–2026 winter season opens for the Moldova Region under the sign of authentic tourism, traditions carefully preserved, and events that bring people together. As President of CAPDR – the Center for Analysis and Planning of Regional Development – I initiated the Via Moldavia program out of the belief that the villages and towns of Moldova, Romania, deserve a place on the map and in the hearts of travelers. Via Moldavia is the way we draw attention to the beauty of winter lived here: welcoming people, warm homes, customs, gastronomy and experiences that remain in memory.

I wish you a wonderful holiday in Moldova with moments that become memorable memories for your families” – Ion ȘTEFANOVICI

Winter casts light over Moldova, and the houses in the Dorna-Arini commune, Suceava County carry the warm charm of the holidays

The white snow covers the roofs, windows glow in the evening, and guests find at the table the scent of cozonac, mulled wine and wood warming in the stove.

At the Pensiunea Domeniul Stanca, winter comes to life in every corner. The hosts welcome guests with authentic Bukovinian warmth and fresh products from their own farm, and time spent here becomes a true experience: walks through the wide snow-covered yard, stories in the gazebo or beside the fire, relaxation in the hot tub under the blue December sky and traditional meals that bring the flavors of Bukovina straight to the table. Every detail — from the private sauna to the modern comforts of the rooms — completes a slow-paced holiday lived between the tranquility of nature and the beauty of the Giumalău and Rarău Mountains.
