Gorj County has a varied tourist potential and is characterized by its picturesque nature, artistic and architectural monuments, which represent a folkloristic and ethnographic heritage.

We have numerous routes for mountain tourism, and the region is crossed by two long-term European tourist routes (E3 and E7). Mountaineers can practice their passion in gorges like Cheile Sohodolului, Cheile Galbenului and Cheile Oltețului. On the territory of the county there are also five speleological zones representing the greatest speleological potential in Romania.

The ski resort of Rânca together with hunting and fishing areas complete the tourist offer of the county.

The climate is temperate continental with Mediterranean influences. Due to the configuration of the relief, the climate is differentiated according to the steps of the relief.
