Going back to the history of Romania, the country is being in the stage of socio-multi-national development at the time of the recent president of Romania (Socialist), Nicolae Ceausescu , wanted to develop the tourism side. As in that period (60s – 70s) the expansion and establishment of a large national tourism was wanted, the then Minister of Tourism, Ion Cozma , initiated a series of projects whose role was to reinvigorate national tourism and bring it to the standards to other countries.

The actual works begin in the spring of 1973 where the specific tools for mining works are brought bulldozers, excavators, dumpers, labor force (lifeguards, Forest Direction teams to plan the route of the future cable cars), cranes, manual and electric trolleys, etc. Once the site teams have been established, they move to the part of the site.
